GOD DETHRONED Drummer Lays Down Tracks For DELAIN CD

May 18, 2005

According to a post at Slagwerkwereld.com, GOD DETHRONED's Ariën van Weesenbeek has recorded the drum tracks for the debut album of DELAIN, the new project featuring former WITHIN TEMPTATION member Martijn Westerholt.

The recordings took place between May 11 and May 13 at the Spacelab Studios in Kempen, Germany.

Commented Ariën: "The recording of the drums for DELAIN was very challenging for me. DELAIN's music is quite different than what I usually play with GOD DETHRONED. The drum parts needed more of a mechanical, bombastic and functional approach, with lots of variations of grooves, bass-drum patterns, and accents that needed to be right on the spot. I learned a lot from this experience, and enjoyed it very much!"

Ariën van Weesenbeek joined GOD DETHRONED in 2001, after NILE drummer Tony Laureano had been hired as a session drummer for the recordings of the "Ravenous" album and departed again prior to its release.

DELAIN's yet-untitled debut contains eleven songs and is set for release in the fall of 2005.
