Delain release new music video for ‘Ghost House Heart’

DELAIN have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Ghost House Heart, is taken from the band’s upcoming new album Apocalypse & Chill which is scheduled to be released in February.

The new music video was filmed in the dead of winter at Woolton Hall in Liverpool, which was built in 1704 and has been left to decay for the last few decades. Woolton Hall’s alleged haunted halls provided the perfect backdrop for the song.

Speaking about the song, vocalist Charlotte Wessels says, “going back to such an intimate song after the bombast of Masters of Destiny and Burning Bridges feels a bit like switching gears, but I enjoy every minute of it. Singing this song is almost meditative, and I love the way voice, piano, and violin weave together in the track. I hope our fans will love this change of pace as well, and I can’t wait to perform this song live on stage during our upcoming UK tour, and our Valentine’s Day show in Utrecht.”

Keyboardist Martijn Westerholt adds, “this song was created while spontaneously playing and singing together with Charlotte. It seemed to create itself! It’s also a nice change of pace in relation to the other songs we have written for the new album. As a pianist, of course it is fun to play a piano song for a change. We worked with violinist Shir-Ran Yinon and I think the way the violin intertwines with the vocal lines is mesmerising. The video was a lot fun to make and it was a beautiful set with a lot of history.”

Apocalypse & Chill is set for release on February 7th via Napalm Records.
