Moonspelled January 29, 2003

I have 4 CDs of Moonspell. I think this is their best effort to date. The production, lyrics, guitars and voice of Fernando are at their best in this work of art. The album begins with the relaxing Slow Down! which is a warm up to the whole dark exercise. Track 2-6 * 9-12 are the perhaps the best works of Moonspell in their career. Hanger Man, Mute, Magdalene are dark, down to earth and very very melodic. This is Moonspell displaying their perfect art, meloncholic metal with thrashing guitars. Handmade God wants you to headbang while Mute makes you cry. Totally this is an album that will make you a fan of Moonspell for life. In these days of superficial metal and fake melodies, this is a work of art. This will stand tall. Sin is smashing!!!

Awesome choice November 13, 1999

I didn't gave this record 5 stars because I miss the folkloric sounds of Wolfheart, but this is truly awesome, you can find straight metal songs with a doomy feel, "Eurotica" has a dance-industrial melody that's very cool to dance to but favorite songs are "Abysmo" and "Dekadance". This is a must-buy.

Mature, easy on the ears, and still KICKS!!! April 17, 1999

Sin Pecado is quite a bit different from Wolfheart and Irreligious, due to the fact that it is something even the parentals won't be screaming about every ten seconds! The bass for it is very hypnotic, and through that, and Fernando's own voice, Moonspell has added another chapter into their already impressive musical diaries. If you like the deep throatiness of Type O, and the deep bass of most goth-metal bands, this album is definitely worth the listen!

Good, but not the best CD of Moonspell March 24, 1999

The first CD I had of Moonspell was Wolfheart. I love it! The lyrics on that CD are about creatures that have to do with the moon, night, like vampires, wolves, etc. Irreligious also have songs that are the same, like Full Moon Madness, taste of Eternity. I somehow miss those lyrics on Sin Pecado. Furthermore, the great guitar plays are less on Sin Pecado, the lyrics have more repeats and Fernando sings more on one tone... I miss the passion in the singing. They have changed. The music sounds quite different, but still you can hear it's moonspell. One of the best metal bands ever. I hope their new album will sound more like the older ones, but that's about personal taste.

Different... May 23, 2000

I was quite shocked when I bought this CD. After listening to Wolfheart and Irreligious, I was expecting more of the same, but Moonspell came out with a big surprise. Although I love their old roots (Even when they were known as Morbid God), this CD was a definite beauty.

Moonspell started off with an eerie but appropriate introduction to the CD with Slow Down! Handmadegod was the first actual song and basically carried the theme of the CD very well. My favourite song is Magdalene, it's real smooth, spine-chilling, and beautiful.

If you're new to Moonspell, then you should maybe try Irreligious or Wolfheart first to hear what they really sound like. This CD took on it's own personality and maybe took the time to share the views of the band. It was definitely mature and easy to get into. Now quit reading this and buy the CD!
