The Dutch female fronted symphonic metal force Delain celebrates in 2016 their first ten years. The band's latest EP Lunar Prelude was a tasty treat earlier this year, but haven`t we all been waiting for the main course? Finally the wait is over, as Delain have now unveiled first and hotly anticipated details for their upcoming and fifth studio album titled Moonbathers, set to be released on 26th August on Napalm Records.
Delain commented: "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 hope you will enjoy this new effort and join us on our endeavors making 2016 the biggest year for Delain ever!"
Moonbathers was mastered by Grammy award winning Ted Jensen, will satiate your hunger for the symphonic greatness, catchy hooks and a solid dose of metal that the band is known for. It showcases Delain 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 as well as a reappearance of Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy) as a special guest on opening track "Hands Of Gold". The visual counterpart comes courtesy of longtime collaborator and neo-Victorian romantic Glenn Arthur. Tracklist and cover artwork are below. Moonbathers is available for pre-orders at this location.
To support their upcoming new album live, Delain will be heavily hitting the road in 2016. Catch the band and their energetic live shows with special guest Evergrey and support Kobra And The Lotus. Link
