DELAIN: Toulouse Footage Available

April 3, 2009

DELAIN — the Dutch gothic rock/metal project founded by ex-WITHIN TEMPTATION keyboardist Martijn Westerholt (brother of WITHIN TEMPTATION's Robert Westerholt) — is currently on the road in Europe as the support act for KAMELOT.

Fan-filmed video footage of the opening song of DELAIN's April 1, 2009 performance at the Havana Café in Toulouse, France can be viewed below (courtesy of "PrinceOfDarkness31").

"April Rain", the new album from DELAIN, will be 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 CD will feature a bonus track — "Come Closer" — which was previously only available on the limited-edition digipack version of the album.

"April Rain" is available for streaming in its entirety at RoadrunnerRecords.de. The CD follows DELAIN's acclaimed 2006 debut "Lucidity", which featured guest appearances by members of WITHIN TEMPTATION, NIGHTWISH and LEAVES' EYES.

"The new album is a real group effort, [and] that's what we're most proud of," says Westerholt.

"April Rain" track listing:

01. April Rain
02. Stay Forever
03. Invidia
04. Control The Storm
05. On The Other Side
06. Virtue And Vice
07. Go Away
08. Start Swimming
09. Lost
10. I'll Reach You
11. Nothing Left

"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.
