LICKHANTHROPE will be the first video clip to come out of the Alpha Noir album. It will be directed by Filipe Melo, who worked with the band on the'' I will see you in my dreams'' videoclip, recorded ten years ago. The shooting will be made in Nandufe, Tondela, in the central region of Portugal.
The synopsis by the director, Filipe Melo:
Little Red Riding Hood enters a bar,in an abandoned house amidst the woods. In this bar, the regulars are not your average kind of people- it's a place of vice, where a pack of wolves and other unearthly creatures find solace. Moonspell are just another part of the varied local entertainment. However when things go wild we will see that the band isn't just what meets the eye.
In a cross between the pagan Portuguese folklore and a tribute to the classic Hammer movies this videoclip will bring out not only the ferocious intensity of this song but will have its place in Portuguese Film history as the first werewolf transformation ever made in Portugal.
The videoclip features also several local Theatre and cultural groups, Portuguese actors and a special appearance by the very own Suicide Girls Portugal, in a task force which will blow your mind.
The video will be premiered in Moonspell's/Napalm Records youtube channels as well as selected TV shows and online pages. Beware the wolves at night, beware the lunar light!
