On this 23th September, Portuguese gothic metal legends Moonspell have released a breathtaking new live version of “In Tremor Dei” featuring the Orquestra Sinfonietta de Lisboa. This release marks a major highlight of their upcoming live project Opus Diabolicum, and it’s an emphatic statement about the band’s continuing ambition to meld darkness and orchestral grandeur.
“In Tremor Dei” is Moonspell’s artistic interpretation of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake — a tragedy that changed Portugal forever — and a meditation on God, fate, and human mortality”.

“In Tremor Dei” is not unfamiliar to Moonspell’s devotees. It originally appeared on their 2017 concept album 1755 and was lauded for its emotional depth, dramatic tension, and haunting atmosphere. Yet this new interpretation elevates the song to new heights. With orchestral arrangements wrapped around Moonspell’s metal backbone, the track pulsates with urgency, theatrical breadth, and cinematic scope. The contrasts between heavy riffs, atmospheric keys, and the sweeping strings/woodwinds/strings sections create moments that feel both apocalyptic and exquisitely introspective.
