DELAIN Interviewed At U.K.'s HARD ROCK HELL Festival
December 9, 2009Rock Radio conducted an interview with DELAIN — the Dutch gothic rock/metal project founded by ex-WITHIN TEMPTATION keyboardist Martijn Westerholt (brother of WITHIN TEMPTATION's Robert Westerholt) — at this past weekend's Hard Rock Hell festival at Pontins in Prestatyn Sands, North Wales, United Kingdom. The chat is now available for streaming using the audio player below.
DELAIN's second album, "April Rain", entered the German Media Control chart at position No. 96. The CD was released in North America on June 30 via Sensory Records (with U.S. distribution through Ryko and Canadian distribution through Sonic Unyon). The North American version of the album features a bonus track — "Come Closer" — which was previously only available on the limited-edition digipack version of the LP.
DELAIN recently parted ways with guitarist Ronald Landa due to musical differences. He has since been replaced by Ewout Pieters.
DELAIN bassist Rob van der Loo sat out the band's European tour with SONATA ARCTICA due to other personal commitments. He was temporarily replaced by Roel Vink. Rob still played the tour's Dutch dates.
"April Rain" benefits from the return of NIGHTWISH bassist/vocalist Marco Hietala who sings male vocals on two tracks, as well as world-renowned cellist Maria Ahn.
