Carnegie Music Hall, Pittsburgh, PA, USA, February 24, 2016
Interview Conducted by Daniel Locke
Delain is: Charlotte Wessels, Martijn Westerholt, Ruben Israel, Otto Schimmelpenninck van der Oije, Timo Somers and Merel Bechtold.
Dutch symphonic rockers DELAIN have been releasing and performing their signature catchy melodic metal sound worldwide for nearly a decade now. The five albums on their name include guest performances from the titans of the scene, among others: Sharon Den Adel (WITHIN TEMPTATION), Marco Hietala (NIGHTWISH), Alissa White-Gluz (ARCH ENEMY), Burton C. Bell (FEAR FACTORY).
Having toured the globe with bands like NIGHTWISH, SABATON, WITHIN TEMPTATION and KAMELOT, and having rocked festivals like WACKEN, GRASPOP and FORTAROCK, DELAIN have strongly carved their niche within the scene.
After touring South America, the US as well as extensive EU tours with their album THE HUMAN CONTRADICTION, their latest chart hitting full-lenght MOONBATHERS opened new doors for DELAIN as they performed their first US/CAN headline tour in the spring of 2017. This summer will see the release of the bands 10 year anniversary live DVD/Blu-Ray CD and Vinyl through PledgeMusic, after which the band will embark on an exclusive EU tour with Marco Hietala from NIGHTWISH dubbed the Danse Macabre tour. If all of that isn’t enough; the band is now announcing a much anticipated return to South America. With all releases, tours and festivals ahead, one can only fathom what the year 2017 will bring for DELAIN!
