DELAIN To Perform On Dutch Radio This Friday

August 8, 2007

DELAIN — the Dutch gothic rock project founded by ex-WITHIN TEMPTATION keyboardist Martijn Westerholt (brother of WITHIN TEMPTATION's Robert Westerholt) — will perform live on Giel Beelen's radio show "Giel" on the Dutch channel 3FM this Friday, August 10 between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. The group will play its new single, "See Me in Shadow".

The "See Me in Shadow" single was released in the Netherlands on July 23. In addition to the title cut, the single includes three special acoustic versions. The song's official video, which was was shot on May 8 "in a very special country cottage in Brabant, Holland," can be viewed below. "See Me in Shadow" is the second single from DELAIN's debut album, "Lucidity", which came out last year.

"Lucidity" has sold more than 6,000 copies in Holland. In addition to Martijn Westerholt and Charlotte Wessels (vocals),the CD features guest appearances by the following musicians:

Jan Yrlund (ex-LACRIMOSA) - Guitars
Ariën van Weesenbeek (GOD DETHRONED) - Drums
Ad Sluijter (EPICA)
George Oosterhoek (ex-ORPHANAGE)
Guus Eikens (ex-ORPHANAGE)
Sharon Den Adel (WITHIN TEMPTATION)
Marco Hietala (NIGHTWISH)
Liv Kristine (LEAVES' EYES)

"Lucidity" contains some interesting duets: Liv Kristine sings with Marco Hietala on "Day For Ghosts" and with Charlotte on "See Me In Shadow". Sharon den Adel's distinctive voice is a great counterpart to Marco's intense vocals on "No Compliance", whereas the heavy grunts of George Oosthoek combine very well with Charlotte's peaceful voice on a number of other tracks.

DELAIN recently parted ways with guitarist Ray van Lente.
