Delain announce new album details

Symphonic metal band DELAIN have announced the first and highly anticipated details for their upcoming fifth studio albums titled, Moonbathers.

The album will be released August 26 via Napalm Records and a nice follow up from the bands EP, Lunar Prelude, that was released earlier this year. On top of that DELAIN will be celebrating their tenth anniversary as a band.

DELAIN had this to say on the new album and 2016 for them as a band:

“We have never had so many milestone events in one year. The release of our EP Lunar Prelude, our fifth studio album Moonbathers, our upcoming 10 year anniversary celebrations and Live registration, and there is still more to come. All of this wile playing our most heaving touring year ever. We are on a roll, and our new album Moonbathers is here to embody that. We hope you will enjoy this new effort and join us on our endeavours making 2016 the biggest year for DELAIN ever!”

Moonbathers, which is mastered by Grammy award winning Ted Jensen, will squash your hunger for symphonic greatness. On top of that, there will be varied tracks ranging from a cover of classic rock band QUEEN and a reappearance of Alissa White-Gluz as a special guest on opening track, Hands of Gold.

The artwork for Moonbathers was courtesy of longtime collaborator Glenn Arthur.
