| 2013-04-02 | Queensryche delay tour to work on album | Rockers Queensryche have postponed their upcoming UK tour to focus on the release of their new album.
The band, now fronted by Todd La Torre following Geoff Tate's departure, was due to perform a string of shows throughout the country next month as part of its Queensryche "Return To History" tour.
However, the rockers have now pushed back the dates until October to work on their upcoming record, which is set to be released in June.
A post on the group's Facebook.com page reads, "We know some fans are upset that we had to postpone some of the April dates. Queensryche never want to miss any chance to see and play for our fans around the world, but there are some things we have to do for our label in order to get the new record out to you in the time we promised...
"We as a band feel we have made some of the best music of our career and would put it out tomorrow if it was within our power for you all to hear. I do think our label would kill us if we did though. We will get back to Europe as soon as we can and are excited to play the classics as well as some of this new material for all our fans around the world!"

| 2009-09-04 | Moonspell Working On Ideas For Next Studio Album | The German edition of the Metal Hammer magazine conducted an interview with Moonspell vocalist Fernando Ribeiro at this year's Summer Breeze festival, which was held August 13-15, 2009 in Dinkelsbühl, Germany. Watch the chat at this location.
When asked if there are any plans for Moonspell to record a new studio album in the not-too-distant future, Fernando replied, "It's in the making. I already have all the story in my head, all the concept... It will be something more blasphemous but also more elegant [than what we've done before] . . . We're [getting there] and I hope we can record and release [the new Moonspell CD] in 2010. 'Night Eternal' [Moonspell's most recent studio LP, which came out in 2008] is not such an old album, but I think you should do albums when you feel like it, and we feel like definitely doing a new album in 2010."
Regarding whether the forthcoming Moonspell album will be a concept effort based on one particular theme, Fernando said, "I think it's gonna be made up of little stories. Moonspell never did, actually, these conceptual albums, as they are, like a class=vlin href=/vcat.phtml?action=va&singer=431>King Diamond's 'Abigail', which is like a story with different chapters, or Queensryche's 'Operation: Mindcrime'. I think we always have been a conceptual band — 'Wolfheart' [1995] is a concept, 'Irreligious' [1996] is a concept, 'Memorial' [2006] is a concept, 'Night Eternal' is a concept, but never in the way of those albums I [mentioned]. I think everything has to tie with each other, and I think that's what we do with MOONSPELL — work hard that the music and the lyrics can tell someone a story, and to do that, you have to be conceptual, definitely."
Moonspell released a DVD, "Lusitanian Metal", in December 2008 in Europe via Century Media Records. The first disc features one complete live show recorded live in Katowice in 2004, all video clips (from "Opium" to "Everything Invaded"), an in-depth interview with all current band members and a detailed discography. The second disc offers a historical overview of the Portuguese metal group's period as a Century Media recording artist, with no less than 50 live tracks, starting with some very old-school live rehearsal recordings back in 1992 and ending with live footage from the "Spreading The Eclipse Tour".
