Delain

A concert of Dutch band Delain has been a wish expressed by the active members of the ARTmania community. The band’s story began in 2002 when Martijn Westerjolt, ex keyboard player in Within Temptation, along with the charismatic Charlotte Wessels founded Delain and started composing together with other talented musicians, signing in 2005 with RoadRunner Records and beginning to record their first album.  “Lucidity” featured important guests from the metal area: Marco Hietala of Nightwish and Tarot, Liv Kristine (Leave’s Eyes) and Sharon Den Adel (Within Temptation). 

Their second album is released in 2009 with a huge international success, amplified by their numerous live European shows. Charismatic figure, Charlotte, attracts many different aged fans in spite of her 24 years. The Dutch girl has a Bachelor in Art and even a world record along with 1,300 other people as part of a cookie-on-a-string eating contest, a traditional Dutch game.

Delain will be in Romania for the first time at ARTmania Festival Sibiu 2012, on Saturday, August 11th, and fans can get ready to listen to new songs. Their third album is already on its way, production being signed by Jacob Hellner, well known for his collaborations with Rammstein and Apocalyptica.
