The Profile

Delain is a Dutch symphonic metal band formed in 2002 by former Within Temptation keyboardist Martijn Westerholt. The group rose with albums like Lucidity and We Are the Others, long fronted by vocalist Charlotte Wessels, and later returned with a renewed lineup on Dark Waters (2023).

Origin: Netherlands. Founder: Martijn Westerholt (ex-Within Temptation). Notable vocalist era: Charlotte Wessels (2005–2021). Debut album Lucidity (2006) featured high-profile guests. The band continues active with releases including Dark Waters (2023).

Two reviews size up Delain from different angles: Lucidity earns a cautious pass for strong openings and star guests, but is critiqued for derivative writing; April Rain is panned as forgettable and symptomatic of genre stagnation. The writeups highlight founder Martijn Westerholt (ex-Within Temptation) and vocalist Charlotte Wessels, plus guests like Sharon den Adel, Liv Kristine, and Marco Hietala. Overall tone: skeptical of symphonic metal’s originality in this era.
