DELAIN To Enter Studio In September

August 16, 2008

DELAIN — the Dutch gothic rock/metal project founded by ex-WITHIN TEMPTATION keyboardist Martijn Westerholt (brother of WITHIN TEMPTATION's Robert Westerholt) — will enter the studio in September to begin recording its second album for an early 2009 release. "We have completed nine songs so far," Martijn writes on the group's web site. "Five more are in the making. Some of them will make the album, and some of them won't. I'm really looking forward to the recording process. Then the songs really come to life."

He continued, "It's very special to see all band members are involved in the recordings this time. A lot of stuff is happening at the same time. (Sometimes that's really difficult for a chaotic often 'forget-stuff' kind of person. Yes, I'm referring to me.)

"We are already planning our tour schedule for the next album trough a lot of countries. We are busy planning and making our new live production. It's a blessing we have some heroes in our team in making new stuff. Sander and our tour manager Rik are very busy with making equipment, light stuff, risers, etc.

"Besides that, I'm busy arranging stuff for the guest musician contribution.

"With our first album, we had loads of time to make it happen. This time that has to happen in a short term situation. So all things together, it's a very exciting time. I hope we can make it all happen."

DELAIN's video for the song "The Gathering" can be viewed below. The track is taken from the group's debut album, "Lucidity", which came out in 2006.
