DELAIN will not only enthrall Symphonic Metal Fans with their fourth album The Human Contradiction, but also will bring listeners new to the genre. The band revolving around the supreme Charlotte Wessels have confirmed two special guests for their upcoming release.
The first guest vocalist is Marco Hietala of Nightwish/Tarot, he provides guest vocals on the tracks "Your Body is a Battleground" and "Sing to Me".
The band commented on working with Marco Hietala again:
"We are very excited about the much anticipated return of vocal force Marco Hietala on our upcoming record. After our collaboration with Marco on our first two albums we can't help but hearing his voice in some of the songs we write! We love his contributions on The Human Contradiction: Marco adds greatly to the power of "Your Body Is A Battleground" as well as to the melancholia of "Sing To Me".
Marco added: "I've done quite a few visitations on select albums during my career. DELAIN and their albums are among the most frequent. If you listen to their stuff, you´ll know why. Martijn and his group seem to have plenty to say both musically and lyrically. Keep it up mates!"
The second special guest on The Human Contradiction is Alissa White-Gluz of The Agonst. The band and Alissa spoke about the collaboration:
DELAIN: "We are really excited about Alissa's addition to our new record! Alissa needs no introduction: we love her great, versatile and powerful vocal style and after spending time on the road with Alissa on our tour with Kamelot last fall, we simply needed her awesomeness :) Both Alissa's clean vocals and signature screams are featured on the record's finale "The Tragedy Of The Commons". We can't wait to share the song with you!"
Alissa: "After a couple days of touring with DELAIN, I HAD to go buy a CD or two. This band blew me away with their intelligent songs, energetic yet extremely precise live show and overall charisma. Sure enough, after buying an album at their merch table and listening to it on repeat while working out, my suspicions were confirmed: DELAIN IS AN AWESOME BAND! I'm very flattered and honored to participate in their upcoming album. I see DELAIN going very far, I wish them nothing but success and I'm glad to contribute my share!"
The album will be released in North America on April 8th via Napalm Records; pre-order opportunities will be made available soon.
In support of the album DELAIN will return to North America this fall for a tour with Sonata Arctica and label mates XANDRIA. Tickets are on sale now. A complete list of dates can be found below.
