Irreligious (album)

Irreligious, released in 1996, is the second full-length album by the Portuguese band Moonspell. It features some of the best-known songs of the band, such as "Opium", "Ruin & Misery", "Awake" and "Full Moon Madness". The latter is usually the closing song during almost every Moonspell concert, which over time has become a characteristic of their concerts. Before the song begins, Fernando Ribeiro often makes the sign of the circle (symbolizing Moon) over the crowd.
