Moonspell have premiered a new live video for their song “Apophthegmata.” The footage is taken from the band’s new live album/film, “From Down Below – Live 80 Meters Deep,” which is set to be released on September 30. That effort was recorded during a special set in which the group performed “Hermitage” in its entirety at Grutas de Mira D’Aire in Portugal.
Vocalist Fernando Ribeiro commented:
“‘Apophthegmata‘ is a Greek word that defines a collection of texts, a book with the most important lessons and revelations of the Desert Fathers, the kings of Hermits. They stood in the darkness to enlighten themselves and often brought their conclusions of peace and wisdom to their restless and suffering communities.
This song stands for exactly that, musically speaking: a game of light and shadow, a bridge between fragility and strength. It quickly became a must on our setlist and a fan favorite of the ‘Hermitage‘ album. Enjoy the light, learn with the darkness, be kind to yourself so you can be kind to others.”
