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).

Regő Rejtem
The Moon and the Nightspirit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Csontbörtönből azúr égbe
Balzsam szárnyú szellő szárnyán
Hej Hej Hej regő rejtem.
Hát nyílj most meg ég
Ősök hangját visszahngzó tér
Ajtód hét világra tárd ki
Őserő törj elő
Ég torkából
Föld gyomrából.
Hát éledj most láng
Lélek mélyén izzó parázs
Mutasd utam szellemvilágban
Hej hej hej regő rejtem.
(Refrain)
Hát nyílj most meg ég
Ősök hangját visszahngzó tér
Ajtód hét világra tárd ki
Hej hej hej regő rejtem.
The lyrics to The Moon and the Nightspirit's song Regő Rejtem speak of liberation, both from physical and spiritual confinement. The first verse calls on the soul to escape from a prison of bones and soar into the azure sky on the wings of a balm-winged breeze. The second verse asks the heavens to open up and echo the voices of ancestors, inviting the listener to open the door to seven worlds. The third verse speaks of primordial forces breaking forth from the sky's throat and the earth's womb. The final verse urges the listener to awaken the flame of the soul's glowing ember and show them the way in the spirit world. The refrain repeats the second verse's call to open the door to seven worlds that echo with the voices of ancestors.
These lyrics seem to be an invocation or a ritual, perhaps for spiritual liberation or guidance. The imagery evokes a sense of primal power and the connection between the physical world and the spirit world. The use of traditional Hungarian language and cultural references adds to the mystique and depth of meaning in the lyrics. Overall, the song urges the listener to break free from confinement and tap into the ancient wisdom of ancestors and the natural world.

Funny thing is, I met someone not long ago and they showed me their album, Hugo Bento - Sounds True, and I found that it was quite similar to this in a lot of aspects. I asked them if they knew The Moon and the Nightspirit and they didn't, but their music was inspired in part by Tool. Interesting to see the overlap in genres.

Ha a szeretet olyan fennkölt dolog lenne, akkor nem lennének fekáliák az ágyneműhuzaton, ha a tekintélyes melegek szeretik
