Teasing for the album has already begun. News about the new album could be soon enough as is.

Charlotte Wessels will release a third solo album later this year, and this one is significant as she will be joined by three former Delain band members. While the new album will probably not sound like Delain, this is still Delain's "other half" getting together to record and play new music.
That is very much interesting. Although I'm more hooked on Delain's recent material, I might give the former vocalist's material a peek to see how it sounds.

Last night's show in Toronto was awesome, just like the last time I saw them a couple of months ago when they opened for Kamelot. They didn't have a set list with them, and I did arrive early to see their tour bus arrive. Though because of the cold weather, I had to go off to use the washroom and I ended up missing Ambre coming out from the tour bus. Oh well, I at least got to do that last time they came around with Kamelot. (They were sharing the same bus as Battle Beast.)

Let's see now which happens first: the album release, or Delain returning to Canada? My bet is on Delain! 😁
I'd say that Delain returning is most likely to happen. You never know though, anything is possible.

During the recent North American shows Xandria have introduced a new song called 'Universal', presumably to be released on their next album.
The only recording I have found has poor sound, but no doubt there will be an official single release soon?
It is! 🙂 The single, "Universal", is set to be released on April 16, in a few days time. I imagine by then we will all hear at the same time news about their upcoming album around the single's release. They are currently touring with Wind Rose, so it'll be fun and interesting to hear the song performed for a glimpse into the album.
And hopefully I will be able to get a tour shirt, because when I last saw them opening for Kamelot, they didn't have any shirts with them.

Mikko is a damn good mixing and mastering engineer. I look forward to hearing how the new album sounds with all of the double mastering he is doing at the moment.

Well, when Delain returns to North America (if it happens this year), I will have to ask him how the album sounded.

I will say this: I was very surprised to find this out about Ewo.
When I met him back in March 2018 at the Toronto show during the Decades tour, me and him spoke for a bit and he even gave me one of Emppu's guitar picks. That's pretty much all that I can remember from meeting him.

Well, well. Some news of the day. Looks like Nightwish is still sticking around with their label Nuclear Blast for a little longer than expected, and it is even their 20th anniversary with them since they signed with them back in 2004 around the time Once came around.

This May, I will be going to see Blind Guardian in concert. I have never seen them in concert, and now I will have the opportunity to see them perform live, just like I saw Avantasia back in 2016.
One of my favorite songs from Blind Guardian, off from their album Nightfall in Middle-Earth:

No big news, but I saw on FB a report from someone meeting Troy and learning straight from the horse's mouth that Auri will do an European tour in 2025.
Probably means that a North American tour might not happen.

I'm surprised that you ranked Apocalypse & Chill so low! It's not my favourite album, but it does have some of my favourite songs, including Masters Of Destiny (ok, it was previously released on an EP), We Had Everything (I love that 'Boys Of Summer' 80s melancholic vibe!), Creatures (such a Queen rip-off!)... On the other hand, there are songs on this album that I don't like, so I wouldn't rank it first either.
Oh no doubtingly that I enjoy "Masters of Destiny"! I also enjoyed "Vengeance" which features Yannis Papadopoulos as well as "Ghost House Heart". For some reason, I tried to like the rest of the album, but just couldn't get into it. Oh well. 🤷♂️
On 2/25/2024 at 1:19 PM, Fugazi said:Oh and also, Delain now have a North American online merch store.
They have mentioned on FB that all of their shirt designs are hand drawn by their bass player Ludovico Cioffi. 👀
I didn't know that Ludo did all of the shirt designs! That's awesome!

If you had to rank the studio albums of Delain by most to least favorite, what would they be? Here is my ranking of most to least favorite Delain albums:
- Dark Waters
- April Rain
- Moonbathers
- The Human Contradiction
- We Are The Others
- Lucidity
- Apocalypse & Chill
I think it is safe to say that Dark Waters was easily the best album in my opinion. 😁

So Kai has officially joined the band, are they planning a tour, more albums or something? 👀
Hopefully a tour! It'd be cool to see Kai and Tuomas performing again!

Also, Mika is throwing a fit at entitled fans:
Wow, some fans are really impatient when it comes to having to wait for the new material! I am impatient to hear the new album as well or see Nightwish tour again, but I don't go and hassle the mastering person and make demands for albums to sounds like "this" or "that". When the band says it's ready, then it will be ready.
Anyways, that's the end of my short rant. Still, the album is going to take a little longer to come out because of the vinyl pressings, so in the end - it is still estimated to be a summer to fall release for the album.

Kamelot announced another leg of their Awaken the World Tour in North America. HammerFall and Ad Infinitum are set to join them as opening acts.

I guess it is to be expected that a minority of the fandom will never move on past Charlotte. Some Tarja fans are still trolling Nightwish social media to this day. 🙄
It almost reminds me of the comments I'd see on a band who have had changed their lineup, for example, I'd be seeing comments on Kiss going "It's not Kiss without Ace or Peter!" or Journey not being Journey without Steve Perry. I did notice a few Tarja fans doing that! They would be begging for Tarja to come back, and I already know that is never going to happen, as it has been almost 20 years since she was fired and even she has stated that she will not be rejoining Nightwish and that she does not pay attention to Nightwish anymore.
On 2/2/2024 at 12:14 AM, Fugazi said:I mean, I love Charlotte and I'm a paying member of her Patreon, but... I must admit that I also enjoy the new material and Diana's voice and stage presence. Besides, I'm sure she will get even better as she grows into her role. Also, the better part of the new Delain album was written-composed before Diana was even chosen as a vocalist, so I expect the next album will take even better advantage of her vocal talents.
I agree wholeheartedly. Next album that comes out (which is in the works based on the picture of the band at Rosko Campsite in Finland) will definitely bring out more of Diana's talents. I too am also enjoying the new material and stage presence, as I do consider Dark Waters one of Delain's best albums they have put out. I'll definitely have to rank my Delain albums from most favorite to least favorite at some point.

Hopefully Wintersun will go touring again! It'd be nice to see Kai performing again.

Looks like mixing is done, and that mastering is already on the way according to Finnvox's Mika Jussila himself.

Anette's work with The Dark Element is fantastic, and I own both of those albums. I honestly wish I could see Anette in concert again, as I did back in September 2012, but the chances of that happening are extremely low.

I had a rough time sleeping last night, and have only had a few hours of sleep. But hearing this news is enough to wake me up! I really am looking forward to hearing the new material when it comes out!
