The Antidote is the sixth studio album by Portuguese gothic metal band Moonspell, released in 2003 by Century Media. It is regarded as a return to a heavier musical style in comparison to the previous album, Darkness and Hope , although it is nonetheless quite different from all the previous albums. The track list was altered for the vinyl version to better suit the side lengths. [4]

Contents

The third track, "Everything Invaded", had a music video.

Book

The album was released with a (limited) book named O Antídoto ("the antidote") by José Luís Peixoto. They both share a single concept and the same story. Each song in the CD is sister to a chapter in the book that enhances the story in the lyrics. The CD contains the book in electronic format.
