Delain - We Are The Others
Vocals - Charlotte Wessels
The release of We Are The Others has been held up considerably following the take over of Roadrunner records by Warner Music. Fans were relieved to hear that tracks they had been tempted with during Delain's 2011 tour were finally going to make it to release when the band announced the 1st June release date. I recently saw them touring in my own city and have had the album on pre-order from Play.com with apparently a limited signed edition on it's way to me. Sadly it will probably be sitting on my doormat waiting for me to get back from the holiday. Am looking forward to getting back just for that! :)
The Agonist - Prisoners
Vocals - Alissa White-Gluz
The Agonist are a Canadian metal band formed in 2004. Prisoners is their 3rd studio album. The band stands out from the others thanks to lead singer Alissa White-Gluz's impressive ability to switch between clean and growl vocals. I would really like a chance to see the band perform live and have been looking forward to the new album release. It is also on pre-order and will probably also be waiting for me on the doormat when I get back from the holiday. Goddamnit!
Ephel Duath are also due to release an EP this month, On Death and Cosmos features new band members including vocals from Karyn Crisis. Ephel Duath are an Italian progressive metal band who have not only had a constantly changing line-up but also managed to fuse Jazz and metal effortlessly. Really looking forward to hearing the new line up on this EP.
