Dutch symphonic metallers DELAIN have uploaded a four-minute video clip featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the first leg of the band’s “We Are The Others” European tour. Check it out below.
DELAIN‘s third full-length studio album, “We Are The Others”, will be released in North America this summer via the New Jersey-based top-tier progressive metal label Sensory Records. CNR Entertainment is handling the release in The Netherlands and Roadrunner Records is issuing the CD in the rest of Europe.
“We Are The Others” track listing (North American version):
01. Mother Machine
02. Electricity
03. We Are The Others
04. Milk And Honey
05. Hit Me With Your Best Shot
06. I Want You
07. Where Is The Blood (feat. Burton C. Bell)
08. Generation Me
09. Babylon
10. Are You Done With Me
11. Get The Devil Out Of Me
12. Not Enough
13. The Gathering (live)
14. Control The Storm (live)
15. Shattered (live)
16. Sleepwalkers Dream (live)
The lead single, “Get The Devil Out Of Me”, hit stores on April 13 (April 15 for U.K.) to coincide with the start of the band’s European tour.
The “Get The Devil Out Of Me” video can be seen below. The clip features footage from the recording sessions for the new CD and live material, including footage from the Sonisphere festival in the U.K. (used with kind permission of BlinkTV).
Described as “the band’s most powerful, most atmospheric and intoxicating album to date,” “We Are The Others” was helmed by producer Jacob Hellner — renowned for his work with RAMMSTEIN, CLAWFINGER and APOCALYPTICA — while the vocals were tracked with the Epicentre team of Fredrik Thomander and Anders Wikström (SCORPIONS, BACKYARD BABIES).
At first glance, some songtitles on “We Are The Others” may sound mysterious and conspiratorial, but there is a very serious background: The lyrics to the title track were inspired by the hate crime against a British girl named Sophie Lancaster in 2007. She and her boyfriend were beaten comatose by a gang of youths, because of their goth looks, and Sophie later died from her injuries. This tragedy sent shockwaves throughout the world.
Commented singer Charlotte Wessels: “Sophie‘s story hit close to home for us, being part of a subculture ourselves but it’s in no way an individual case; people are discriminated against — all the time, to the point of violence — based on their cultural or ethnic background everywhere.
“‘We Are The Others’ is our own ‘outsiders anthem’ for everybody who, deliberately or not, diverts from the norm. Whether it’s by looking different, acting different, or choosing a different path in life then is expected from you.”

Without a single doubt the Metal Female Voices Fest in Belgium is THE place to be if you are into female fronted bands. October 19th – 21st will see the 10th edition of the festival, so please check out what our friends from MFVF have to say: “The Metal Female Voices Fest 10th Anniversary will take place in Wieze-Belgium in October 2012. Already a decade for this very special and unique Metal festival dedicated to fronted female singers! Don’t miss it and be there to support your favourite bands such as LACUNA COIL, ARCH ENEMY, Epica, Delain, Arkona, Diabulus In Musica, Xandria and many more!”
After getting warmed at the Anniversary Party October 19th fans can look forward to LACUNA COIL and ARCH ENEMY headlining the 1st official festival day. Front women Cristina Scabbia and Angela Gossow couldn’t be more excited about performing with many likeminded ladies:
Cristina Scabbia, LACUNA COIL: “If you can put together good music, passion, heaviness, epicness and loads of beautiful ladies on stage… What would you possibly want more from a festival? The Metal Female Voices Fest is all this and I’m very excited to be back on that stage. We are going to let you sing and jump, to headbang and cry… And most of all, to have a great time with you all. See you there!”
Angela Gossow, ARCH ENEMY: “It’s gonna be fun to rock the stage with my sisters in metal at the MFVF 10th anniversary! It’s a great festival with a fantastic audience and as always put together with much love and dedication. We are more than happy to return and throw some pure fucking khaos into the mix!”
Dutch female-fronted symphonic metallers DELAIN have issued the following update:
“Recently there have been some developments at the guitar department of DELAIN. Our band demands a huge amount of time and energy from our band members. Since our guitar player Timo [Somers] has a lot of musical activities besides DELAIN, we want to give him the time and space to pursue this as well. Until now, that was not possible, but recently we received a huge reinforcement in the band. Guitarist Bas Maas is joining in our group to relieve Timo for some shows this year. Some of you may know Bas from DORO or his previous band AFTER FOREVER. We want to give Bas a warm welcome in DELAIN. He will join us at our European tour, and a couple shows this spring. See you all on the road!”
DELAIN‘s third album, “We Are The Others”, will be released later in the year via Roadrunner Records. Described as “the band’s most powerful, most atmospheric and intoxicating album to date,” the CD was helmed by producer Jacob Hellner — renowned for his work with RAMMSTEIN, CLAWFINGER and APOCALYPTICA — while the vocals were tracked with the Epicentre team of Fredrik Thomander and Anders Wikström (SCORPIONS, BACKYARD BABIES).
A new video interview with DELAIN frontwoman Charlotte Wessels about “We Are The Others” can be seen below (courtesy of U.K.’s Metal Hammer magazine).
DELAIN previously stated about “We Are The Others”: “As you might expect from us, this album again offers some interesting collaborations, both in musical and visual terms.
“This record features none less than FEAR FACTORY shouter Burton C. Bell as a guest singer, and visual artist Glenn Arthur provided the cover artwork [see below].
“We met Burton at the Wacken Open Air festival a year ago and stayed in touch afterwards. When we were working on [the song] ‘Where Is The Blood’, we didn’t hesitate to contact him for cooperation. He’s done such an amazing job on the song turning the song into a most violent duet; his exceptional, raw voice fits perfectly to this song!
“The cover artwork was created by Glenn Arthur, a California-based visual artist whose work is inspired by art nouveau design and steampunk imagery. Charlotte [Wessels, vocals] is a big admirer of Glenn‘s work and she dedicated multiple blogs to his art.
“For the artwork of ‘We Are The Others’, we gave Glenn the lyrics to the song as inspiration.
“We’re incredibly happy with how the cover turned out.”
Added Charlotte: “From the first time I saw [Glenn‘s] work, I’ve been imagining it as cover artwork; something in the way his work is both esthetically very delicate, but always with a dark undertone, fits our music very well.”

01. Mother Machine
