When live, additional members include: Gábor Végh (drums, percussion) and Gergely Cseh (bass).
They craft a distinct artistic signature, reflected not only in their music but also in the unique visual universe that illustrates their work.
Ágnes, a skilled singer and multi-instrumentalist, is also the talented lady responsible for the paintings which bring to The Moon and the Nightspirit’s music a fantasy-setting populated by creatures that trace back to traditional Hungarian legends and folklore. These memories of times forgotten also echo through the lyrics written by guitarist Mihály, which outline the spiritual mindset behind the project.
Such a combination has been greeted with growing enthusiasm since the release of their 2005 debut album on Equilibrium Music, “Of Dreams Forgotten and Fables Untold”, and the early shows that followed, which included an appearance on Hungarian National Television. Later, and in support of “Regõ Rejtem”, their second album, The Moon and the Nightspirit had the opportunity to tour throughout most of Europe. Playing in small fair markets and large festivals alike, including prestigious events such as Trolls et Legendes (Belgium), Wave-Gotik-Treffen (Germany) and Castle Party (Poland), the band shared the stage with names like Corvus Corax, Faun, Blackmore’s Night or Korpiklaani, and gradually conquered a prominent role in the Pagan Folk scene.
Returning with “Ösforrás”, their third album, the duo invite the listener to the star-woven realm of the wise elders, the ones who knew the secrets of nature and walked the path of light eternal, and embody on their new material a more tribal and exotic approach, in intense rituals dedicated to the old and eternal tradition.
This collection of songs, which feed from the Ösforrás - the “Source Pristine”, the primordial womb, from which all has sprung, a sacred place where all is one - comes together as an offering to the slumbering gods of the old forests, streams and stones.
Weaving a web where threads of ancient mysticism combine with dreamy atmospheres, where World Music acquires a bewitching Pagan aura, The Moon and the Nightspirit live up to their potential as one of the most exciting and refreshing acts in the genre.
“Ösforrás” is released by Equilibrium Music, in two formats: Digipak CD with booklet, and collector’s edition hard-cover 19,5cm x 14cm Digibook (limited to 1000 copies), with full-colour booklet including large reproductions of several paintings created for this purpose. The collector’s edition also includes one exclusive bonus track featuring guest appearances by Catarina Raposo (Dwelling), Saskia Dommisse (Poets to their Beloved) and Alessandra Santovito (Hexperos).

In Gardens of Worlds Undreamt
The Moon and the Nightspirit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ere the first Sin was born,
Ere Eden's final dawn
In gardens of worlds undreamt
Once we danced there,
In scented, rapturous nights,
Beneath sultry moons,
But drawned by lethean floods
The age of innocence had passed
And left no one to remember
The blissful, dream-woven past
But still, I seek these gardens
Veiled by the old seraphic ban
And in dreams I walked there,
As once in times bygone
Once we walked there,
Ere the first Sin was born,
Ere Eden's final dawn
In gardens of worlds undreamt
Once we danced there,
In scented, rapturous nights,
Beneath sultry moons,
In gardens of worlds undreamt
The lyrics of the song 'In Gardens of Worlds Undreamt' by The Moon and the Nightspirit evoke a sense of nostalgia for a long gone past, a time before sin and before the fall of Eden. The singer reminisces about a time when they walked and danced in gardens of worlds undreamt, a place of beauty and innocence that is now lost forever.
The lyrics depict a world that is both sensual and mystical, where the air is perfumed and the moon is sultry. The singer longs for a return to this world, but knows that it is impossible, as it has been swept away by the passage of time and the arrival of sin. Despite this, the singer still seeks these gardens, even though they are now veiled by an old seraphic ban.
In a broader sense, the lyrics can be interpreted as a metaphor for the loss of innocence and the yearning for a return to a simpler, more pure state of being. The gardens represent a paradise that has been lost, and the singer's search for them represents a search for spiritual renewal and enlightenment.

Once we walked there,
We have been to a place before
Ere the first Sin was born,
This was before the concept of sin existed
Ere Eden's final dawn
This was before the end of paradise
In gardens of worlds undreamt
We were in a place that we could not have imagined
Once we danced there,
We have also experienced dancing in this place
In scented, rapturous nights,
During enchanting and ecstatic nights with pleasant scents
Beneath sultry moons,
Under the influence of seductive moons
In gardens of worlds undreamt
Again, we were in a place that we could not have imagined
But drawned by lethean floods
However, we were separated from that place by a river of forgetfulness
The age of innocence had passed
This period of innocence has ended
And left no one to remember
No one has stayed to remember, everything has been forgotten
The blissful, dream-woven past
The past was full of happiness and was like a dream
But still, I seek these gardens
Even now, I am still searching for the place
Veiled by the old seraphic ban
The place is covered by a divine restriction
And in dreams I walked there,
However, I have been able to reach this place only in dreams
As once in times bygone
Just like how I was able to reach there in the distant past
Once we walked there,
Again, reiterating that we have been there once
Ere the first Sin was born,
Once again emphasizing the place's pre-sin existence
Ere Eden's final dawn
Before the paradise's decline and end
In gardens of worlds undreamt
In a place of otherworldly beauty and magnificence

I'm glad you are uploading their old songs! I was sad for being unable to show how spectacular this band is for my friends since there were no videos from them here, but now I can! Thank you very much <3
