Setting off into a new era, symphonic metal greats Delain have recently returned with a new lineup, impressively proving that they are stronger than any machine with their standalone single "The Quest And The Curse". Fuelled by massive support and enthusiasm all around the globe, the multi-million streaming leading outfit finally sets the stage for their eagerly awaited next studio album, entitled Dark Waters, out on 10 February 2023 via Napalm Records.
Emerging as a brand new start and safe haven alike, Dark Waters, without any doubt, continues the legacy of the brainchild of keyboardist, founder and main songwriter Martijn Westerholt and contains everything Delain is loved for and more: a sonic rollercoaster ride of catchy tunes with explosive elements - ranging from pop to film score-inspired to blistering room shaking metal.
The tracklist merges perfectly with the fantastic voice of new vocalist Diana Leah, showcasing her incredible talent and musical sophistication, which the brand-new single "Beneath" manifests. The vocal department holds new adventures with guest singer Paolo Ribaldini, who also highlights the track as the ultimate hymn. Along with a stunning music video, "Beneath" takes the listener into a sinister underworld of the deep. Modern synth melodies mix with catchy classical passages and ominous riffs throughout the song.
Martijn Westerholt on "Beneath": "'Beneath' is a perfect ambassador of the album and Delain as a whole because it encapsulates almost all of the recognizable Delain elements you will find on the album".
Martijn Westerholt on the upcoming album: "This album captures all elements Delain is known for - our distinctive heavy guitar riffs, massive orchestral parts, both heavy metal and pop vocals, rock opera vibes along with 80s synth sounds. In short, this is definitely a recognizable Delain album that contains classic 'Delain elements' while also moving forward with fresh influences".
