One or two people were predicting you'd be Delain's new singer. Thankfully they were correct! You are a most welcome addition to Delain! After hearing your cover of Within Temptation's "Mad World" with Alex Staltari last night, I was hoping you were the new singer and you are.
This is seriously excellent, Diana Leah is a solid vocalist and the growling vocals remind me of Andrea Ferro from Lacuna Coil. That's a compliment. I like this, I'm glad Delain is back. While I miss Charlotte, Diana is an excellent singer and you couldn't have picked a better replacement.
Holy shit!! Came back to Delain after so long, got saddened after hearing about Charlotte leaving, decided to check out the video anyway and I'M. COMPLETELY. SOLD. This is just like when Nightwish came back with Floor. The new singer is PERFECT! Hi Diana!!!
Charlotte is missed for sure, she was integral to Delain's unique sound in a wave of symphonic metal bands. However, I agree, Diana is a fine vocalist in her own right and they couldn't have made a better choice. I expect the band to get even heavier over time, with tinges of Lacuna Coil where we have soaring, high, clean vocals by one singer and then growling vocals done by another. When done right, it's beautiful. I'm glad Delain is back.
I'm gonna miss Charlotte, it is 1000% sure but I admit I like this song very much. Didn't expected such a similar voice. The harsh vocals are perfect as well♥️
@@titlingur2009 It has not been clearly said but people suspects that Martijn had a bad behavior with all of the other band members. They left as well, in fact the Line-up is totally renewed
@@enricopaoletti5650 The official explanation was that Charlotte will focus in her solo career. Martijn is the only remaining original member and everybody else has left so there might be some personal chemistry issues, too. That said, let's focus in music instead of people. The voice of Diana Leah was so similar to Charlotte's in some parts that it was really surprising. I had to watch the video like, yeah, this is not Charlotte but it sure sounds a lot like her voice. The voices are not identical but should suit similar songs very well. After hearing this song I personally prefer Charlotte's voice more but it could be just the song. I'll listen future later songs, too, for sure.
I'm just arriving here, Delain wasn't exactly the band I used to pick and listen, but then this came to me, and now I'm addicted. Just noticed this is a new singer. Well, she nails it! Congrats Diana!

Charlotte was the Delain's voice and It's really really hard to say goodbye to her, but it could be a new beginning for Delain. In other words, welcome Diana Leah... Your voice is amazing!
Stunning return to form tbh. No one will ever replace Charlotte, but OMG Diana is on stratospheric form here!! I’m back on board, bring on that UK tour 🇬🇧
I'm so impressed by the old/new band and the new singer 🔥😍 Absolutely amazing! The timbre of her voice is pretty similar to Charlotte's, so I guess the old songs will sound live amazing as well! ❤️
When I saw Charlotte had left, I thought Delain was done. I was wrong. Looking below, everyone is posting the same thing, lol Damn wow. Diana Leah is perfect and I can't wait to hear more!
So to be honest, when I heard Delain was going to continue without Charlotte I was very skeptical, but WOW! This is amazing Diana leah is a perfect match. Im looking forward to what the future hold for Delain! Amazing work.
Until a couple of days ago I thought Delain was second division, below the likes of Nightwish and Therion, etc. That was before I started hearing this new stuff and then I started diving back into older material with Charlotte. I can see now that Delain kicks ass and I have another band to obsess over!
I was skeptic about the band's future without Charlotte, but I must say that Delain's future is in good hands with Diana in the vocals! totally loved it!
I look at this way. I am sadden for the departure of Charlotte but like most bands they have many eras and new stories to tell. It's also like how Nightwish has many eras with every singer so I guess it's Diana's era and her chapter. But also lets the band keep us guessing.
Charlotte will be missed(she was amazing, hope she will be happy with her choice of project) but Diana was the right vocalist to choose yeah, I cannot wait for more material.
I usually just read the comments and hit like or dislike but I actually have to say this. I was honestly upset and angry when I heard Charlotte was gone. How could you loose that sound and then youtube threw this up on me today and I have to say. I'm looking forward to see what Charlotte does but this song proves DELAIN is still DELAIN. Go the fuck ahead Diana and keep this epic journey going! I don't ever expect anyone to ever fill the shoes of anyone but you have by far brought the same energy and talent to the table. Blown away and in complete awe of how you showed up to bring this band into it's next chapter. I see epic stories and tales to be told with you. Keep fucking rocking DELAIN and to hell with the Diana Haters. Her vocals are yet to flourish as she gets even more confident with the band! 🤘
Difficult not to associate Delain with Charlotte, when I see her videos as a soloist, Delain immediately comes to mind, a lot of work to do but here we will be supporting this new proposal. 🤘
@@TheNubaHS So since he doesn't do it now, I no longer have anything to remember and forget all of Delain's past? that you are never going to listen to any previous album? absurd.
Rule #1 of bands: Everybody can be replaced except for the song writer. Just look at Nightwish. And Diana does great filling Charlottes's spot. When she started singing I felt right at home hearing the beloved Delain sound. Looking forward to more!
The song writer can be replaced, too. Arjen Lucassen only composed the songs for Stream of Passion's first album. In case you were unaware Tuomas Holopainan doesn't compose all of the music for Nightwish. Marko composed "The Crow, the Owl, and the Dove" as just one example
Anyone can be replaced. That is obvious news. The FINAL PRODUCT those changes bring are another tale. Just look at NW ;) ashes of what they used to be.
Depends on the singer. In this case, I was leary too,...till I heard this! Awesome! You're right about the songwriter comment though. Same w/Kamelot. The lyrics Khan wrote or co-wrote w/Youngblood are a trillion Xs better than everything on their most recent studio album, & most of Haven too!
When your favorite band in the world decides to carry on without your favorite singer in the world, it can be scary. But now... yeah, my fears have been sufficiently put to rest.
It's SO good to have Delain back. The revitalised, shaken-up Delain. I loved Charlotte. And I love Diana. The Quest and the Curse is creeping up on me; through good headphones at volume it's hair-raising. I'd love to see you live, but I guess Sydney Australia is a long way to go. So for now, I'll watch the music vids, listen to the album, watch a few live recordings on TH-cam, and wish. Second star to the right and straight on till morning. See you in Neverand, Diana!
Great song!!! ... Diana you are worthy !!! Your voice fit really well with the band ...can't wait to hear you sing the epic Delain songs like Masters of Destiny and Burning Bridges...cheers all !!!
I am always pretty skeptical of singer changes. It seems like something is always lost. Not in this case! Diana was the perfect choice! I am pretty blown away! I will be listening to the new album.
Few bands could survive the breakup experienced with Delain losing an iconic vocalist like Charlotte, but you’ve become a phoenix, resurrecting the band and sound terrific! Looking forward to more great music. Diana Leah is terrific and will make the music her own.
I went to Delain in Zurich yesterday, it freaking blew me away. Diana does an absolutely amazing job in performing the old songs as well and is an awesome live performer. All of you are doing great stuff! Y'all make sure to not miss the tour!
With Charlotte it was good while it lasted, now with this girl she also promises, and she plays the role well in Delain, we as fans will hold you, a good voice and fits perfectly in the band. Go girl, we want to see you, we need the Delain alive with a new claw. Thanks for the choice. Best wishes.
Welcome to the Metal Symphonic World Diana Leah, great voice not just saying because we following you since works like "RAM & Garderffi with Diana Leah - Turn Back The Time" - So now let shows us your power in this new adventure 🤘🤘🤘❤
@@azidihaqeem7882 right. I'm just like damn these Romanian ladies have come out from left field to take these bands to the next level. I thought both Xandria and Delain were done but now they have risen like Phoenix's from the ashes to take Symphonic Metal to the next level.
Wow. If I didn't know Charlotte left the band and someone would play me this song on spotify I wouldn't notice she's gone... and it's a compliment ! :) Great voice, I like the song, can't wait to hear more !
Every member left or was kicked out of the band except for the keyboardist who said he wanted to return to a band with session members, then he quickly changed that and got full time members, some of which were actually in the band before. Now it's basically a whole new band and I'm sure he has more control. Charlotte was a co-owner of the band and had say in what they did prior to all of this.
Diehard Charlotte fan here, supporting her on Patreon! Well, count me back in. This sounds good; Diana's voice and vocal delivery fits well! Looking forward to what's to come. Welcome aboard, Wonderwoman!
I listened to this song so many times on Spotify that it became top 1 of my Wrapped 2022 😅 And now going towards top 10 songs of my wrapped of 2023 bc I cant stop listening to the whole album
Talk about extremes! Between my disappointment of the disbanding and the joy of seeing this band arise with a Vengeance! Martjin made a good choice of you, Diana. Look forward to what else you have in store for us Delainers
Normally, when you change one musician, it changes the whole sound of the band. When I found out the Martjin was having to replace the whole band, I was certain that that was the end of the Delain sound. I'm so glad I was wrong!!! DELAIN IS RISEN!!!
I love the voice of Charlotte but this new voice of Diana is wunderful too. And a very nice new song. You indeed still have a bright looking future Delain ! Many congrats !
Indeed, Charlotte is one of a kind, but they couldn't have picked a better vocalist to fill in her shoes. Rock solid song, one where the growling vocals instantly made me think of Lacuna Coil, a band that hasn't lost its edge since going full-blown heavy metal, and if anything has only gotten even heavier as time has gone on. I expect the same thing with Delain and Diana, that over time, they will get even heavier as they polish their unique sound down to a science. This is great stuff without a shadow of a doubt.
How the heck did you pull this off? If you close your eyes and only listen to the music it's almost like it's Charlotte singing, but not quite? Diana FITS! Damn good job and awesome song too, the more you listen to it the better it gets...
I heard that song first without watching the video and for a second I thought: "Huh, why don't I know this old song with still Charlotte singing? Luckily it only took me a few seconds to realize that it isn't she, but your new singer. Don't know where you found Diana Leah, but a great choice you've made there. She fits in immediately and perfectly, and while I normally have to get used to a new band member and especially a new vocalist, her voice caught me immediately. And dammit, by all means, keep those growls coming, I really hope that this is the direction you're going. Great, great song.
I am amazed, I always loved Delain, since his start, Love Charlotte voice, but omg, this lady fking rock it!!!! Keep it Going Delain, and Diana, thank you so much for being here to make Delain come back!!!
Diana's voice still gives me shivers down my spine. Such a beautiful voice, purely angelic voice. Not to mention the dynamic between her and the guitarist/bassist. It's just an unbelieveable song
Honestly flat out i didn't even know Charlotte was even gone from Delain. Diana Leah if you ever read this comment. Your voice literally is fantastic, and thank you for sounding almost close to Charlotte, i couldn't slightly tell the difference. You have honestly made every true Delain fan happy!, and we can not think you enough. Keep up the work i know you wont let us down! :). Can't wait for your new album i know you will surprise us all.
I legit listened to a huge list of mixed Delain songs and didn't realize some of them were off the new album with the new singer. Love all their work, it's great!
Well, thinking it’s not right to compare Diana with Charlotte I just say, loved Delain, still do. It’s „new“ now and, if I wouldn’t know better, I’d say, I fell in love with the moves, the voice, the whole habitus Diana is presenting! Absolutely brilliant. Thank you, Delain 👍😊
After the incredible Apocalypse & Chill, DELAIN is back and always at the top inspired ! Great voice with Diana ! Wait for the new album ! All the best from France !
I love how Diana's voice meshes well with the dynamic of Delain. She's bringing a fresh voice while keeping the original vibes! Keep it the good work. Can't wait for Dark Waters. Much love from the USA
Well this has been a big relief for me. Somehow I missed the news that the band had split and only found out a few weeks ago. As Delain are one of my favourite bands I was really sad about it. But then this happened. This is not the same band and I will miss Charlotte but this definitely has the sound of Delain. It's a departure from more recent releases, sounding more like their earlier stuff. But as someone who has followed them since Lucidity and loved every album they have released I definitely don't mind. I love it and the new singer is awesome.
I listened to Martijn's interview about the burnout and break up while playing Muspelheim in God of War. Volcanoes, ash, lava, heat. This feels like it's come full circle. Welcome Diana!
I've been a Delain far for a long time. I was concerned that I wouldn't like the new line up. I have to admit, I am pleasantly surprised. Diana sounds great, and the mix of harsh vocals mix great with the epic sound of the song and the clean vocals. I look forward to hearing more. Charlotte will be missed and I eagerly wait her next venture, and am happy that Delain will continue putting out awesome music as well. Great job guys!!!
What do the bands Thundermother and Delain have in common? Not a lot musically of course, but rather that the band members got so pissed off at the founder member that they all walked out, leaving said member with just the band name. This was probably because said founder members were not very nice. So if you're going to re-launch the band from scratch, you'd better do a good job, because you've got a lot to prove. In both bands, the re-launch has been a total triumph. You can't argue with great music, and this clearly is. Superlative Symphonic Metal, with everything you want to hear in a SM song. Diana Leah is a fine vocal talent and a great discovery. And she fronts a most excellent number that scores top marks in all departments. It's a must-own. My Score: Excellent 5*
That the founder members were not nice is an assumption. Fact is we don't know what actually happened indoors because we weren't there, so the rest is speculation. We can judge, but that isn't fair to the people involved. Everyone has their own experience and perspective. I completely agree with you, you can't argue with great music!

i was on her youtube page before she joined Delain...she was doing Within Temptation covers...never thought shed be singing for these guys...not surprised either...wishing her and the band mega success...
What a great song ... in my book one of the best of Delain. Love it. Love also the new singer and the two guys growling... that duo sounded great..... great job guys!
Great song, great video. Diana Leah, omg just WOW, beautiful lady with a beautiful voice. I absolutely love the chorus of this song. I have heard other artists harmonize with themselves before, but never set up in that way before. Whoever arranged it like that is a freaking genius. The video footage of the lava flows went very well with the music.
i loved Charlotte at the Front, and were somehow stunned as the Bandleader announced, he mix up the whole -again. Then i lost Sight of the Group, till i stumbled over this Vid today, afterwhat, 3 Years? Nice Song, normal Napalm over the Edge Announcement, but you Lady, are an great Performer, was an Pleasure to Watch and Hear your Part. Wish you all the Best for the coming Days of your Journey with Delain! Stay Healthy NW Army Bavaria North
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your incredibly kind words🙏❤

Welcome to the Kingdom of Delain as the new queen! You're amazing!
Welcome to Delain! You rock 🤘♥️
I just want to point out that the name 'Diana Leah' is an anagram for 'aah, Delain'. :)
omh she really was the chosen one
Apparently this is a new singer, and I am all here for it, this is the best song Delain has ever made!
Her name is Diana Leah😊
It goes from 100% to 100% the whole way through, it's so fucking good
The 100% right girl at the right place. Congratulations !!
This is seriously excellent, Diana Leah is a solid vocalist and the growling vocals remind me of Andrea Ferro from Lacuna Coil. That's a compliment. I like this, I'm glad Delain is back. While I miss Charlotte, Diana is an excellent singer and you couldn't have picked a better replacement.

Diana has more "innocence" in her voice and I think it matches perfectly with Delain!
Are you saying Charlotte was more..... "naughty"? Not that I'm complaining, just that it's not what I expected to infer from your comment.

"The Quest And The Curse"
Searching the skies, wonder why
So afraid I'll never know
Wasting away here on the ground longing to soar up to great heights
The beast that preys upon me
Casting my eyes down
Within the stars
Those spheres of light
But who can find the second to the right?
So far, my Neverland
It's the quest and the curse of us all
Reject, revoke, deny your own blame
I will now justify all you do
I am Deimos, Phobos of old days
I am the shallow grave hunting you
Hearts hunger for something more
Frightened by ghosts of our own creation
When we suffocate the aspirations that we scorn
The monster hunting me down
Will pull me under
Within the stars
Those spheres of light
But who can find the second to the right?
So far, my Neverland
It's the quest and the curse of us all
I am despair, your dread, your fear, shame
I am the parasite deep in you
I am Deimos, Phobos of old days
I am the shallow grave hunting you
How can I find the second star to the right?
I fear that I've forgotten how to fly
I face my greatest enemy within
Fear of falling my lullaby
Within the stars
Those spheres of light
But who can find the second to the right?
So far, my Neverland
It's the quest and the curse of us all
Within the stars
Those spheres of light
But who can find the second to the right?
So far, my Neverland
It's the quest and the curse of us all

Wo sind die ganzen deutschen Delain Fan's gibt es in Ingolstadt niemanden der wo die Band hört🖤🖤🖤🖤🎸🥁🤘😎? Lg Robert
Its lie if someone say that this song is not AMAZING, Diana Leah voice was so Fresh and i like it
This is Energetic!!!!!
First time i listened to delain music was when i was 18 . I'm 30 now , love this band
I still miss Charlotte but I'm looking forward to hear more of Diana.
3:18 - that's beautiful! 🙂

With Charlotte it was good while it lasted, now with this girl she also promises, and she plays the role well in Delain, we as fans will hold you, a good voice and fits perfectly in the band. Go girl, we want to see you, we need the Delain alive with a new claw. Thanks for the choice. Best wishes.
Can’t stop listening to this song yeah I’ll miss Charlotte but Diana’s vocals are amazing
First wish: Delain back - DONE!
Second wish: Delain tour Australia - well, hurry up! :)
I second that motion.
Symphonic metal music is my favorite music
Watching Diana Leah going from trance music to symphonic metal is amazing, her voice range is truly remarkable ! Love the new singer already!
Welcome to the Metal Symphonic World Diana Leah, great voice not just saying because we following you since works like "RAM & Garderffi with Diana Leah - Turn Back The Time" - So now let shows us your power in this new adventure 🤘🤘🤘❤
New solo music from Charlotte and now new music from Martijn and Delain. Life is good. Looking to see the new line up live.
This is such a level up for DELAIN! Can't wait for Dark Waters. Love the new singer and how the song is done.. So rich, dynamic - it pulls me in..
Xandria also great band
New singer is amazing too ❤️😁
@@azidihaqeem7882 right. I'm just like damn these Romanian ladies have come out from left field to take these bands to the next level. I thought both Xandria and Delain were done but now they have risen like Phoenix's from the ashes to take Symphonic Metal to the next level.
@@saramaria7481 I agree ✅💯
Diana and ambre is amazing 👍🔥🖤😁
Wow. If I didn't know Charlotte left the band and someone would play me this song on spotify I wouldn't notice she's gone... and it's a compliment ! :) Great voice, I like the song, can't wait to hear more !
Every member left or was kicked out of the band except for the keyboardist who said he wanted to return to a band with session members, then he quickly changed that and got full time members, some of which were actually in the band before. Now it's basically a whole new band and I'm sure he has more control. Charlotte was a co-owner of the band and had say in what they did prior to all of this.
i also hear her sound like Charlotte pretty much. And i am also surprised
Diana Leah is beautiful and she has the voice of an angel.
but I'm all pumped up again!!! Diana is the perfect singer for this project
Diehard Charlotte fan here, supporting her on Patreon! Well, count me back in. This sounds good; Diana's voice and vocal delivery fits well! Looking forward to what's to come. Welcome aboard, Wonderwoman!
Delain has chosen Diana Leah! Welcome! Can't wait for the new album!
I listened to this song so many times on Spotify that it became top 1 of my Wrapped 2022 😅 And now going towards top 10 songs of my wrapped of 2023 bc I cant stop listening to the whole album
This might actually end up being the first year that Nightwish get toppled off my most listened artist. I never thought I'd see the day.
Talk about extremes! Between my disappointment of the disbanding and the joy of seeing this band arise with a Vengeance! Martjin made a good choice of you, Diana. Look forward to what else you have in store for us Delainers
Normally, when you change one musician, it changes the whole sound of the band. When I found out the Martjin was having to replace the whole band, I was certain that that was the end of the Delain sound. I'm so glad I was wrong!!! DELAIN IS RISEN!!!
I love the voice of Charlotte but this new voice of Diana is wunderful too. And a very nice new song. You indeed still have a bright looking future Delain ! Many congrats !
Little correction. It's not a very nice song, it's an awesome song. Wonderful !
Indeed, Charlotte is one of a kind, but they couldn't have picked a better vocalist to fill in her shoes. Rock solid song, one where the growling vocals instantly made me think of Lacuna Coil, a band that hasn't lost its edge since going full-blown heavy metal, and if anything has only gotten even heavier as time has gone on. I expect the same thing with Delain and Diana, that over time, they will get even heavier as they polish their unique sound down to a science. This is great stuff without a shadow of a doubt.
That's no substitute, that is quite the original
How the heck did you pull this off? If you close your eyes and only listen to the music it's almost like it's Charlotte singing, but not quite? Diana FITS! Damn good job and awesome song too, the more you listen to it the better it gets...
The new Delain is, without question, the current standard-bearer for Symph-metal. Virtuosity. Diana's vocals are masterfully employed.
👅
I would give Epica that honor
Heavy metal !! Welcome Diana 👍👍🤟🤟🤟🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
HUGE shoutout from Czech republic! You are all really awesome! Good job Diana, you sound like a goddess!
I heard that song first without watching the video and for a second I thought: "Huh, why don't I know this old song with still Charlotte singing? Luckily it only took me a few seconds to realize that it isn't she, but your new singer. Don't know where you found Diana Leah, but a great choice you've made there. She fits in immediately and perfectly, and while I normally have to get used to a new band member and especially a new vocalist, her voice caught me immediately. And dammit, by all means, keep those growls coming, I really hope that this is the direction you're going. Great, great song.
Sweet vocals Diana Leah you rock Delain did well when they found you.
I am amazed, I always loved Delain, since his start, Love Charlotte voice, but omg, this lady fking rock it!!!! Keep it Going Delain, and Diana, thank you so much for being here to make Delain come back!!!
Diana's voice still gives me shivers down my spine. Such a beautiful voice, purely angelic voice. Not to mention the dynamic between her and the guitarist/bassist. It's just an unbelieveable song
I’ve only just now learned about the new lineup. This song is epic. Welcome to the band Diana! Amazing performance.
Yeey! A new Delain song! I can't express how happy I am today. Wish you all the best and see you soon. ❤️
Honestly flat out i didn't even know Charlotte was even gone from Delain. Diana Leah if you ever read this comment. Your voice literally is fantastic, and thank you for sounding almost close to Charlotte, i couldn't slightly tell the difference. You have honestly made every true Delain fan happy!, and we can not think you enough. Keep up the work i know you wont let us down! :). Can't wait for your new album i know you will surprise us all.
I legit listened to a huge list of mixed Delain songs and didn't realize some of them were off the new album with the new singer. Love all their work, it's great!
They sound similar.. If you're listening on a phone from 20 ft away.
WAIT... WHAT? My favorite band is back? What rock have I been under?
Welcome Diana!
Well, thinking it’s not right to compare Diana with Charlotte I just say, loved Delain, still do. It’s „new“ now and, if I wouldn’t know better, I’d say, I fell in love with the moves, the voice, the whole habitus Diana is presenting! Absolutely brilliant. Thank you, Delain 👍😊
Good old Delain is back. Diana Leah's voice is great.
this is Delain, the band that I discovered in 2014 when I was 16 years old. I missed you a lot.
After the incredible Apocalypse & Chill, DELAIN is back and always at the top inspired ! Great voice with Diana ! Wait for the new album ! All the best from France !
Iam 54 years old and this band is awesome
I love how Diana's voice meshes well with the dynamic of Delain. She's bringing a fresh voice while keeping the original vibes! Keep it the good work.
Can't wait for Dark Waters. Much love from the USA
Well this has been a big relief for me. Somehow I missed the news that the band had split and only found out a few weeks ago. As Delain are one of my favourite bands I was really sad about it. But then this happened. This is not the same band and I will miss Charlotte but this definitely has the sound of Delain. It's a departure from more recent releases, sounding more like their earlier stuff. But as someone who has followed them since Lucidity and loved every album they have released I definitely don't mind. I love it and the new singer is awesome.
Welcome Diana - perfect vocals for Delain - love the new song - can't wait for more.
Just WOW!!! Delain 2.0 is just Amazing!! The new singer has some serious skills!! Cannot wait for the new album
My friend Hektor just led me here.
Great recommendation as always.
This sounds amazing, and a beautiful front woman to boot.
So in sync.
I listened to Martijn's interview about the burnout and break up while playing Muspelheim in God of War. Volcanoes, ash, lava, heat. This feels like it's come full circle. Welcome Diana!
Yay! I've a ticket for the London gig. 🤘😀
I've been a Delain far for a long time. I was concerned that I wouldn't like the new line up. I have to admit, I am pleasantly surprised. Diana sounds great, and the mix of harsh vocals mix great with the epic sound of the song and the clean vocals. I look forward to hearing more. Charlotte will be missed and I eagerly wait her next venture, and am happy that Delain will continue putting out awesome music as well. Great job guys!!!
New fan of Delain, and i can't stop listening to this song. Amazing all around
What do the bands Thundermother and Delain have in common? Not a lot musically of course, but rather that the band members got so pissed off at the founder member that they all walked out, leaving said member with just the band name. This was probably because said founder members were not very nice. So if you're going to re-launch the band from scratch, you'd better do a good job, because you've got a lot to prove. In both bands, the re-launch has been a total triumph.
You can't argue with great music, and this clearly is. Superlative Symphonic Metal, with everything you want to hear in a SM song. Diana Leah is a fine vocal talent and a great discovery. And she fronts a most excellent number that scores top marks in all departments. It's a must-own. My Score: Excellent 5*
That the founder members were not nice is an assumption. Fact is we don't know what actually happened indoors because we weren't there, so the rest is speculation. We can judge, but that isn't fair to the people involved. Everyone has their own experience and perspective. I completely agree with you, you can't argue with great music!
Welcome back, love the singer. I was hoping you wouldn't break up for good. Thanks for a great song.
DELAIN is back !
Searching the skies, wonder why
So afraid I'll never know
Wasting away here on the ground
Longing to soar up to great heights
The beast that preys upon me
Casting my eyes down
Within the stars, those spheres of light
But who can find the second to the right? (To the right)
So far, my Neverland
It's the quest and the curse of us all
Reject, revoke, deny your own blame
I will now justify all you do
I am Deimos, Phobos of old days
I am the shallow grave hunting you
Hearts hunger for something more
Frightened by ghosts of our own creation
When we suffocate the aspirations that we scorn
The monster hunting me down
Will pull me under
Within the stars, those spheres of light
But who can find the second to the right? (To the right)
So far, my Neverland
It's the quest and the curse of us all
I am despair, your dread, your fear, shame
I am the parasite deep in you
I am Deimos, Phobos of old days
I am the shallow grave hunting you
Shed your fear of falling
The beast haunting you
Hear your star is calling
Time won't wait for you
How can I find the second star to the right?
I fear that I've forgotten how to fly
I face my greatest enemy within
Fear of falling my lullaby
Within the stars, those spheres of light
But who can find the second to the right? (To the right)
So far, my Neverland
It's the quest and the curse of us all
Within the stars, those spheres of light
But who can find the second to the right? (To the right)
So far, my Neverland
It's the quest and the curse of us all!
Here's hoping we get another Marco Heitala guest appearance. A duet with him and Diana would be epic.
I was going to stop listening to delain but Diana epic job I will remain a fan
i was on her youtube page before she joined Delain...she was doing Within Temptation covers...never thought shed be singing for these guys...not surprised either...wishing her and the band mega success...
This sounds like Delain! I'm pleased they're back to their roots.
It's just cool!!! You are our idols! Our dream is to perform with DELAIN on the same stage!
What a great song ... in my book one of the best of Delain. Love it. Love also the new singer and the two guys growling... that duo sounded great..... great job guys!
Great song, great video. Diana Leah, omg just WOW, beautiful lady with a beautiful voice. I absolutely love the chorus of this song. I have heard other artists harmonize with themselves before, but never set up in that way before. Whoever arranged it like that is a freaking genius. The video footage of the lava flows went very well with the music.
i loved Charlotte at the Front, and were somehow stunned as the Bandleader announced, he mix up the whole -again. Then i lost Sight of the Group, till i stumbled over this Vid today, afterwhat, 3 Years? Nice Song, normal Napalm over the Edge Announcement, but you Lady, are an great Performer, was an Pleasure to Watch and Hear your Part. Wish you all the Best for the coming Days of your Journey with Delain!
Stay Healthy
