The Moon and the Nightspirit was formed in 2003 by Ágnes Tóth and Mihály Szabó in Hungary. Beauty is not only found in their songs, but in the illustrations that Ágnes, the multi-instrumentalist, paints in her albums, showing the fantasy of creatures of the traditional legends of Hungarian folklore. This all fits perfectly in the lyrics that the guitarist, Mihály, composes.

They have already been compared with several bands like: Ataraxia (good!) And Chandeen.

Their first album, Of Dreams Forgotten and Fables Untold (2005), is mostly sung in English, except for two songs in Hungarian, Égi Táltos and Holdanyánk.

     But the second album, Regõ Rejtem (2007), is totally sung in Hungarian.

     They gained prominence in the pagan folk scene after sharing stage with Corvus Corax, Korpiklaani, Blackmore's Night and Faun. (great bands!)

      In 2009 they returned with their third album, Ösforras, also all in Hungarian. An offering to the sleeping gods of ancient forests.

      Now in 2011, they released their fourth album, Mohalepte. I've heard little of it yet, but I can tell it's as good as the others. Ágnes continues with her mermaid voice and Mihály enchanting with the sound of strings.

I hope you enjoy this wonderful band. And let yourself be enchanted by the sweet voice of a beautiful creature named Ágnes.
