Un album avec seulement 9 titres, c'est déjà un bon point.

[Maxallica]

On connaitra les chansons pour le concert, c'est une bonne chose

[Mr. Sandman]

Et voici le premier extrait dévoilé :

J'avoue que j'ai un petit faible pour Charlotte.
Pas grand chose à manger musicalement mais dans le genre, ça reste plaisant sur 2 ou 3 morceaux par album.
En première partie de Within Temptation, ça risque de faire beaucoup de sucreries en une soirée mais ça sera toujours plus agréable à voir que Steel Panthers.

[Yathin Lizzy]

J'ai des potes qui vont faire le déplacement pour eux.
Ils viennent de l'ain....

[Metal Cat]

Y'a des gens qui habitent dans l'Ain ?

[Pierre]

Je n'ai pas écouté l'album mais je trouve "Stardust" particulièrement putassier...
Cela étant, j'avais vu le groupe au Wacken 2012 et j'avais bien aimé sur scène donc ça devrait faire une bonne première partie

[the fab]

J'ai des potes qui vont faire le déplacement pour eux.
Ils viennent de l'ain....

de l'ain ou de l'aisne ?

[Maxallica]

L'album est EXCELLENT! Pas mal de duo, Marco Hietala (x2), George Oesthook et surtout Alissa White-Gluz pour la chanson la plus réussie de l'album. Vivement les 2 dates françaises auquel je vais assister.

[ominergy]

Je me suis jamais penché sur ce groupe après les avoir vu en première partie de within temptation (tournée heart of everything) mais je trouve ce morceau vraiment excellent, l'album est-il dans la même veine ?

[Maxallica]

C'est la plus "FM" des chansons IMO. Mais le reste de l'album, tout en étant différent, est tout aussi efficace.

Changement de batteur en vue :

Drummer Sander Zoer has left Dutch female-fronted metallers DELAIN "due to some major recent changes impacting his personal life." The band states: "Though he will be stepping out of the limelight, we are happy that he will still be active for DELAIN behind the screens and our friendship will continue off stage.

DELAIN's new drummer, Ruben Israel, previously toured with the band on their U.S. tour with KAMELOT last fall. DELAIN states: "This is where we got to know Ruben as the great guy and great drummer he is. We are confident that he will do an absolutely fantastic job and warmly welcome him to the DELAIN family!"

Ruben will replace Sander behind the drums in time for DELAIN's U.S. tour with SONATA ARCTICA this fall. Sander will perform all festivals with DELAIN until September, except for the June 6 show at Luxor Live in Arnhem where Ruben will fill in. There will also be a special gig with Sander in his former hometown of Groningen on October 24.

Sander states: "Eight years ago I took place on the DELAIN drum chair and this is the best choice I've ever made, but now the time has come to take some steps back. I need more time for my other activities in DELAIN behind the screens, to develop myself, other projects and jobs, and family. However, I will not completely disappear from the radar; you might see me behind the drums at some venues or festivals from time to time.

"I want to thank the DELAIN family for all the good times, and a very big thanks you to all fans around the world!"

Adds Ruben: "When DELAIN asked me to join them on their U.S./Canada tour last year, I didn't want to let the opportunity go by. I enjoyed every minute of the tour, the country, the music, and the fans we met on the road. Also I became good friends with the band.

"Needless to say, when the question came, I didn't have to think twice about stepping in officially and join the team to play the drums with DELAIN.

"I can't wait to start this new adventure with DELAIN and meet you all!"

[Mr. Sandman]

[Everflow]

Attention y'a des gros mots.

Blague à part, moi qui trouvait ce groupe inutile à l'origine, je trouve ça aujourd'hui plutôt plaisant dans le genre, ça a le mérite d'être catchy et pop et de s'assumer tel quel.

[Mr. Sandman]
