Delain announce new EP ‘Hunter’s Moon’
DELAIN have announced a new EP!
Titled, Hunter’s Moon, the upcoming EP is the final part of a trilogy, that also includes their EP Lunar Prelude and latest studio album Moonbathers.
The new release includes four brand new studio tracks, ten live songs, and a Blu-ray disc of those live songs, filmed at Utrecht’s Tivoli venue, during the band’s sold out Danse Macabre European tour in 2017 and featuring special guests including NIGHTWISH‘s Marco Hietala.
Speaking about the new tracks on the release, DELAIN says, “along with the live Blu-Ray are four new studio tracks. Two of these offer a preview of what we are working on for our new full length studio album, which we expect to release in 2019. Masters of Destiny is a dramatic, cinematic track, that we’re excited to shoot an equally dramatic video for this week. The title track Hunter’s Moon has more of a catchy feel and will hopefully appeal to our fans featuring heavy riffs, orchestrations, a large chorus and as a novel feature, Timo’s screams. Our guitarists stepped to the forefront on this release, in writing This Silence is Mine (Timo Somers) and Art Kills (Merel Bechtold). With fond live memories, classic and new sounds we’re excited to present Hunter’s Moon to the world!”

Continuing to speak about the live Blu-Ray, the band continues, “the Moonbathers tour has been a hell of a ride and the Danse Macabre shows were an absolute highlight. We are excited to share the footage of our show at Tivoli Vredenburg with you on this brand new Blu-Ray. It was great to finally perform all of our collaborations with Marco live, something our fans have been asking for for such a long time! Also gracing the stage were George Oosthoek who gave his signature sound to Hands Of Gold, and Elianne Anemaat who adorned Scarlet with her beautiful cello tones. The Tivoli show had such an amazing atmosphere and was one of the highlights of our career. Plus a home match for some of us! We are thrilled to have this Blu-Ray as a physical souvenir of the night and we hope that our fans will enjoy it as much as we did.”
Hunter’s Moon is set for release on February 22nd via Napalm Records.
