Delain (ex-Within Temptation)

[Exploding Ned]

Not a bad outfit. Includes ex-Within Temptation member Martijn Westerholt doing a similar WT type format, female vocal led symphonic metal. Apparently they're writing and recording their 2nd album now. Samples of first album Lucidity are at their site http://www.delain.nl/ plus a cool video of their latest track The Gathering.

There can never be enough good female vocal led metal bands IMO

There was a pretty big thread about them when Lucidity was released. They're a good band but hopefully the new album won't be choke full of guests simply because when every other song has someone you won't see on tour with them, the live show kind of gets shot.

Yeah I knew about the earlier thread, just wanted to bring them up again since a new album will be out fairly soon.
