DELAIN – Dark Waters [2CD Limited] (2023)

Dutch symphonic metal pioneers DELAIN break into new realms with their eagerly awaited, brand new full-length, ”Dark Waters”, out February 10, 2023 via Napalm Records. The pristine record marks a game-changing chapter in the band’s history and presents the brainchild of keyboardist, founder and main songwriter Martijn Westerholt with a new line up.
Rejoining the fold and bolstering DELAIN’s continuity are original guitarist Ronald Landa and original drummer Sander Zoer, while new members – terrific vocalist Diana Leah and bassist Ludovico Cioffi – continue to evolve their sound.

”Dark Waters” follows the chart-breaking Apocalypse & Chill (2020), integrating the most refined sounds in the genre. DELAIN’s renowned orchestral arrangements, highlighted by modern shadings, set new standards and manifest the five-piece on top of the scene. A sonic rollercoaster ride of catchy tunes with explosive elements – ranging from pop to hard rock to blistering metal – merge perfectly with Diana’s fantastic voice, showcasing her incredible talent and musical sophistication.
