Already got my hotel room for Delain's Montreal show this March booked in! All I need to get now is the flight ticket for a round trip, and I'm going the day after the band performs in Toronto which I am also going to with a friend. This will be the third time that I have come to Montreal to see a concert, the other two being Xandria back in 2017, and Helloween in 2018. Montreal is always fun to see a metal show, and the audiences are amazing. Probably a bit better than Toronto's. 😛

Anyone know the symphonic death metal band Fleshgod Apocalypse? Excellent band, who have had Veronica Bordacchini for a good long time now. She was fantastic when I previously saw this band in concert last month. Even got to meet the band in a VIP session before the show. Their new album Opera which came out this past August really kicks ass.

I've already listened to the album. Let's just say that I really was impressed and that it was amazing as always. 🥰

I got my CD copy of the new album in the mail today! I really cannot wait to hear it! 🤘 I'm going to listen to it on release day in the morning as tomorrow I am going to be seeing Fleshgod Apocalypse in concert. As of the moment, I'm taking this moment to hear both EFMB and Human. :II: Nature through their entirety to ready myself for the sounds of the new album.

Another one that slipped past me, a music video for "Lanternlight"! Honestly, I thought "An Ocean of Strange Islands" was the final one, but I was off once again! It hasn't premiered yet, but I will leave the link here.

Also posting the lyric video here, as I did in the album discussion.

And that'll be two meet and greets I will be attending this March in Toronto and Montreal! I'll more than likely have the EP signed in Toronto before I travel to Montreal the next day to see them again. In the Delain Facebook group I am in, I know there were requests for an alternate ending version for "Underland", so I think some are going to be happy about that. While I am sad that there are two songs, I look forward to hearing "The Reaping". But yeah, I wouldn't mind if Delain releases a live album in the future.

Obviously not released until tomorrow, but it turns out to be a lyric video coming in for the third and final single, "An Ocean of Strange Islands".

New single, "Dance with the Devil" is in! Along with that, another new EP from Delain, which is the same name as the single! The EP will be coming out on November 8, 2024.

Third and final single was announced: "An Ocean of Strange Islands", which comes out on September 10, ten days before the album is released. Looks like I was off on "Lanternlight" being the last single.

An orchestral version of the song has been uploaded by the band to YouTube which surprised me.

Some band news coming in, and just at the end of their festival performances for the year. Something close to be revealed? A new album? 🤫 Hoping that it is a new single, as I know Martijn was at the Rosko Campsite! https://www.facebook.com/delainmusic/posts/1060485852115675

I'll be busy with that album you're talking about. I'll definitely be saving Charlotte's album for after.

That'd be an amazing idea! 😆

Has anyone watched the animated show Hazbin Hotel? I started watching it around last month, though I did hear the music first at the end of Spring time. I'm really enjoying this show a lot, thanks to a few of my friends who introduced me to the show, although I knew about it beforehand through advertising. "Stayed Gone" and "Loser, Baby" are definitely in my Top Five Songs of Hazbin Hotel. No kidding, I binge repeated "Stayed Gone" a whole bunch of times, to the point where I couldn't get to sleep one night because it was way too catchy after a while, it got stuck in my head. 😅 Totally my fault that I really enjoyed that. "Loser, Baby" is definitely my number one favorite song from the show so far though.
