DELAIN INTERVIEW
We had the lovely Charlotte and Martijn from the band DELAIN in for promo ahead of the release of brand new album 'Moonbathers' (out Friday 26th Aug), and they kindly recorded a little interview. They talk about the album, that Queen cover and how they intend to celebrate the band's 10th anniversary!
DELAIN have had their heaviest festival season yet, playing some of the largest festivals in mainland Europe and UK, including a 2nd stage performance at Download festival UK, and main stage at Graspop Festival. 2016 has been the busiest year to date for DELAIN and they continue to deliver exquisite music and electric, larger than life live performances!
“We have never had so many milestone events in one year. The release of our EP Lunar Prelude, our fifth studio album Moonbathers, our upcoming 10 year anniversary celebrations and Live registration, and there is still more to come. All of this while playing our most heavy touring year ever. We are on a roll, and our new album Moonbathers is here to embody that. We are very excited about the upcoming release, we hope you will enjoy this new effort and join us on our endeavors making 2016 the biggest year for Delain ever!”
'Moonbathers', mastered by Grammy award winning Ted Jensen, satiates your hunger for the symphonic greatness, catchy hooks and a solid dose of metal that the band is known for. A first glimpse at the depth of the album washes over the listener with "Hands of Gold" - impelling riffs meet full orchestral grandeur withAlissa White-Gluz reappearing as a special guest!
'Moonbathers' showcases the band from both their most extravagant and sensitive sides as they explore all things nocturnal through an especially varied set of tracks including a surprising cover of classic rock legends Queen.
