Dutch metal band Delain have revealed the tracklisting and cover art for their eagerly awaited new album April Rain, which hits the stores March 20. April Rain follows the successful 2006 Roadrunner Records debut Lucidity.
“The new album April Rain is a real group effort, that’s what we’re most proud of…” says Martijn Westerholt, keyboard player and composer for Delain. After a successful tour in Germany in December 2008, Delain will launch the new album in Amsterdam on March 19th at a special event at the Melkweg club in Amsterdam.
Westerholt adds: “And after that we’ll tour Europe with Kamelot and do multiple headline shows throughout Europe. I’d never intended Delain to be a real touring band…but now that we’ve become one, I’m definitely enjoying it to the fullest. We’re looking forward to seeing our fans again real soon!”

This monday Wardruna performed live on Norwegian TV. They played the song Dagr, which comes from their album Gap Var Ginnunga, which was released on Indie Recordings on January 19. Click here for the video! This rules!
Wardruna is also featured in this month’s Rock Tribune magazine in the Benelux. Click the pic below to see a bigger review!
Wardruna is a Norwegian musical constellation set out to explore and evoke the depths of Norse wisdom and spirituality. Musically Wardruna has its main focus on the cultic musical language found in the near-forgotten arts of galder, seidr and the daily acts of the cultic life, mixed with impulses from Norwegian/Nordic folk music and music from other indigenous cultures.
The album entitled Gap Var Ginnunga will be the first in the planned Runaljod trilogy that will interpret the runes of the elder futhark. Each album will feature eight runes, but not in accordance with the order of the three aettirs (families), which is most commonly used.
Recordings partly take place outdoors at locations relevant to the different runes. The utilized instruments are mainly old and historical instruments such as deer-hide frame drums and ceremonial drums, mouth harp (Jawharp), clove/hoof rattles from deer and goat, bone flute, goat and cow horns, Tagelharpe (viking-fiddle), Hardanger fiddle, also more unconventional inputs like trees, stones, water, fire etc. are employed to enhance the nature of the rune being ‘portrayed’.
