Irreligious is the second studio album by Portuguese gothic metal band Moonspell, released in 1996. 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 the Moon) over the crowd. The third track, "Awake!", features a recording of Aleister Crowley reading his poem "The Poet". Irreligious is the first Moonspell album to feature Ricardo Amorim, who went on to become the band's guitarist and main songwriter for the rest of their career.
