Last year saw the release of Portuguese gothic metallers MOONSPELL's thirteenth album Hermitage, the first in their near thirty year career that did not feature original drummer Miguel Gaspar. Whilst the true nature of his leaving is unknown, the band have stated in interviews that it was mutual, however that didn't mean Gaspar wasn't in a position where he could immediately move on. After some time soul-searching and healing, however, he's returned with his new project SEVENTH STORM

Gaspar wrote and arranged the entire record, which is no easy task in itself for someone who, despite his pedigree, has never undertaken such a task before, however it's even more staggering when you delve into the record and realise - quite quickly - that this is not a straightforward listen. Nine tracks long and nearly an hour in length, Maledictus takes every bit of knowledge Gaspar has at his disposal and shows his vision in grandiose fashion.

Regardless of the reasons that led to Mike Gaspar's departure from MOONSPELL, if SEVENTH STORM are to continue in this vein then fans of gothic metal will be very satisfied. Maledictus is a good, solid debut album with a number of interesting ideas and expertly delivered, which is to be expected given the mastermind behind the project. It'll be fun to see where they develop on future releases.
