DELAIN Debut Music Video For New Song ‘Ghost House Heart’
January 26th, 2020

Dutch symphonic metal group Delain have released a music video for the track ‘Ghost House Heart’, which can be viewed below. The clip was filmed in the dead of winter at Woolton Hall in Liverpool, which was built in 1704, meanwhile.

Vocalist Charlotte Wessels commented: “Going back to such an intimate song after the bombast of ‘Masters Of Destiny’ and ‘Burning Bridges’ feels a bit like switching gears, but I enjoy every minute of it. Singing this song is almost meditative, and I love the way voice, piano and violin weave together in the track. I hope our fans will love this change of pace as well, and I can’t wait to perform this song live on stage during our upcoming U.K. tour and our Valentine’s Day release show in Utrecht.”

“This song was created while spontaneously playing and singing together with Charlotte,” said Keyboardist Martijn Westerholt of its creation. “It seemed to create itself. It’s also a nice change of pace in relation to the other songs we have written for the new album. As a pianist, of course it is fun to play a piano song for a change. We worked with violinist Shir-Ran Yinon and I think the way the violin intertwines with the vocal lines is mesmerizing. The video was a lot fun to make and it was a beautiful set with a lot of history.”

Delain issue sixth full-length studio album Apocalypse & Chill on February 7th, 2020 through Napalm Records.

Delain commented: “We think this Apocalypse & Chill will surprise our listeners. It is heavy with new influences and we’re really curious to find out how our audience will respond to that.”

The effort explores topics of impending doom and human indifference.
