Napalm Records is an Austrian independent record label that specializes in heavy metal and hard rock. Founded in 1992, the label has become a prominent force in the music industry. With its headquarters based in Eisenerz, Austria, Napalm Records expanded its reach by opening offices in Berlin, Germany in 2015 and relocating its North American operations to New York, USA (specifically Hoboken, NJ) in 2019. With their commitment to delivering high-quality music and supporting talented artists, Napalm Records continues to thrive as a leading label for metal and rock enthusiasts worldwide.

Moonspell is a Portuguese gothic metal band that was formed in 1989 under the name of Morbid God. They changed their name to Moonspell in 1992. Initially, they started out as folk-tinged black metal but eventually transitioned into a more atmospheric and gothic metal style. The band consists of Fernando Ribeiro on vocals, Ricardo Amorim on guitars, Pedro Paixão on keyboards, samples, and programming, and Aires Pereira on bass.

Originally released by Century Media back in 2003, The Antidote is yet another Moonspell album that drifted off the paths of the trendy symphonic metal that dominated the scene at the time. It's a record that laughed at the softening powers in power metal that began poisoning the scene 20 years ago. Thus... it has been, again, misunderstood by the fans and the press alike.

That didn't stop The Antidote from becoming a long ago out of print, sold-out record and an unnamed classic in its own right.

Exactly 20 years after its original release, Moonspell will once again bring you the fear and the intimidation of an album inspired by what we dread: our darkest dreams and bleak crossroads. It's a tribal, ritualistic album, devoid of the plastic, business-like beauty of what became gothic metal along the way. An album that scares the hell out of you and wraps you in the truth of darkness. 

An album that is also a book by Jose Luis Peixoto, one of Portugal's most celebrated authors, and that opens traps beneath your feet and holes within your mind - a work that is not for the faint of heart. Here's your second chance to own it and to claim the consternation inside of you. The Antidote, in its cup, is yours to take - if only you could dare...
