Over the last two decades, Delain has established itself as an enduring force in modern melodic metal, known for its powerful songwriting, a distinctive musical identity, and a dynamic sound. Since the release of its debut album Lucidity, Delain has built a dedicated international following with albums such as April Rain, We Are the Others, The Human Contradiction, and more recent releases including Dark Waters. Known for blending heavy guitars with orchestral and synth-driven elements, the music has continually evolved while maintaining a recognisable and self-driven creative direction. Through extensive touring and international live experience, Delain has developed a strong connection with audiences worldwide. Throughout its history, Delain has also collaborated with a wide range of guest musicians, contributing to some of its most memorable moments. Twenty years after their debut, Delain is embracing the collaborative spirit that defined their beginnings, taking it further than ever before. Among the remarkable artists joining the band on their new album are two familiar names from that very first chapter: Marko Hietala and Sharon den Adel. They are joined by an extraordinary constellation of talent, including Anneke van Giersbergen, Fabienne Erni, Patty Gurdy, Noa Gruman, Paolo Ribaldini, Johanna Kurkela and Ruud Jolie.
