About the Band
Delain is a Dutch symphonic metal band formed in 2002 by keyboardist Martijn Westerholt. After his departure from Within Temptation in 2001, Westerholt formed Delain the following year, intending for the band to be solely a project, but stopped after the release of one demo. In 2005, Westerholt restarted Delain alongside singer Charlotte Wessels, and released the debut studio album, Lucidity, in September 2006. The band began to perform publicly following the positive reception the album received. After the release of the band's sixth studio album, Apocalypse & Chill, in February 2020, the members parted ways the following year, while Westerholt stated he would continue the band as a solo project.

Album Review
Delain's second studio album 'April Rain' solidified their place in the heavy metal scene with its symphonic and melodic sound. The album seamlessly blends powerful guitar riffs with Charlotte Wessels' enchanting vocals, creating a captivating atmosphere that keeps the listener engaged from start to finish. Standout tracks like 'Stay Forever', 'Control the Storm', and 'I'll Reach You' showcase the band's ability to craft memorable melodies and anthemic choruses. The production quality on 'April Rain' is top-notch, with each instrument shining through clearly in the mix. This album marked a significant step forward for Delain and cemented their position as one of the leading bands in the symphonic metal genre.
