For fans of: Epica, Avantasia, Nightwish, Temperance, Leaves’ Eyes, Amaranthe and Sonata Arctica.

Melodic, symphonic & bombastic power metal at its best: every song of the new Moonlight Haze album is a potential hit single, displaying at the same time a rich sonic texture, some incredibly uplifting/addicting hooks and a meaningful and heartful message. “Animus” represents a huge step up for the band’s songwriting and sound and got the five musicians excited since the very first melodies and lines that had been written. Lyrically-wise it’s an introspective and intimate work, but at the same time it looks at the world outside – willing to bring a bright message of vitality and rebirth. Hence the title, “Animus”, a Latin word that has different meanings: vital force, conscience, soul, mind and courage as well.
