This is a video of the NEW BAND of the Rhapsody of fire's drummer Alex Holzwarth and BlindGuardian's bassist Oliver Holzwarth called PERGANA (female gothic metal)
1 year ago I discovered this band. Two days ago, I went to their concert and had the privilege to meet them in person, talk to them and take pictures. They are great and were totally above my expectations! They are very friendly, funny and down to earth! I feel really privileged to have had the opportunity to meet them, and will definitely be going to another show again!!!
@xmorg That's a little presumptuous. I love Delain, but I dont' dislike Rebecca's Friday, considering there are shittier artists out there who are actually making money out of their so-called singing (ahem.. Rap.. ahem).
@topographicoceans11 No they're not Trolls - they are my genuine reactions to this music. But it is unfair to Delain fans so that comment's gone too. Any other comments I made - let me know and I'll delete those too (sorry - I must have swallowed a bitch pill that day!). The 'champ' has hit the deck with the referee counting .....
after hearing 'Start Swimming', ive been on a hunt for this album. seems only the first one is ever available. so its a sign for me to pick it up! then track down April Rain. :D
This band was not only heavily influenced by Nightwish, their studio recordings in 2006, 2008, and 2009 had Marco Hietala of Nightwish on bass and backup vocals
I agree that they're good, and will get much better, and I look forward to hearing them as they develop (maybe see them play with NW or Sonata Arctica some time? :D)
@DancingTofu2 Delain generally perform with other acts when they're here in the Netherladns. They were great as Sonata's supports, together with Winterborn.
I'm sure you'll get to see them sooner or later though, don't fret :P.
I love Evenescence, so I searched for similar bands and found Delain, and I now can't stop listening to Delain's album "April Rain". If you like these two bands, listen to Within Temptation. I bought their album "The Heart of Everything" and love it too... I know that I shouldn't , but I blast these into my head from my iPod because that's the best way to enjoy the bass.
This is going to be the NEW Evanescence and Within Temptation! But Delain has their own unique sound and that is what seperates them from the rest. Congrats on your 2nd album Delain, keep up the good work! :)
In my opinion Delain is one of the best symphonic metal bands.... and Agonist comming from another genre - they're melodic death/metlcore But this two bands have got really nice vocalists;)
Bleh. I only like one song from them - the one where she actually sings! Not a fan of death metal, even if it's a chick singing. Same with Arch Enemy.
@TOTTW Why, because you think people shouldn't express themselves? Would you want people telling you to be ashamed of yourself for just being who you are?
Nope. I was speaking from my standpoint, had I made the song and been looking back on it. People are free to be who they are, and feel as they wish to.
Weee, I'm Dutch too, and you're right, neither means anything in Dutch, but I do know Invidia means "Envy" in Latin (I have Latin classes at school XD) Which explains the song :D (btw, it's an amazing song, I love it! 5 *)
''Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres'' guess that means France is mine and i divided into 3 parts? (propably killed the phrase lol) great song btw
Little bit. "Gaul as a whole is divided into three parts." It's from Julius Caesar's "Commentarii de Bello Gallico," an excellent book which I'd advise reading. If you get it from Loeb Classical Library (publishers) then you can have both Latin and English versions of it.
He has great voice SHE and its not normal metal is melodic symphony metal so the pop influeces are supposed to be ;-) and yeah she has a voice like an angel
I do appreciate Delains music, but this songs seem a bit to.. pop. Not actually pop, because it's clearly metal, but.. a little to much pop-influences i guess.
Delain's music sounds about as epic as nightwish. before this new album it didn't seem like delain got much attention. Their previous album "lucidy" is awsome. I'm kinda glad the guy doesn't try to growl in the songs anymore he was bad at it. but the lead vocalist has a beautiful voice.
yea I kinda think their lyrics need to be more refined before ppl say they are completely as good as nightwish. Their sound is pretty good but because of their lyrics they fall short of being as good.
Their songs sound great but Delain's compositions are so easy and simple, to get to the level of other bands like nightwish still lack a lot ...

'April Rain' is a good album. Some songs do sound very Nightwish-like though, but not as complex or dark as Nightwish. Especially some intros...
Nonetheless, Delain is a good band, but not yet at the top of their game. I think their next album will be even better.

Delain's Vox is better than Sirenia.
Sirenia has better backup samples though.
Both use pop-based chord progressions, metal instrumentation and symphonic mastering though, so they're both more or less the same.
