Delain – release new single ”The Reaping” with video ahead of EP drop on Friday

Symphonic metal storytellers DELAIN will finally release their new EP, Dance With The Devil, this Friday, November 8th via Napalm Records and are all fired up kick off their UK tour in Glasgow on November 15th.

But first the synth-metal masters create a stir with a brand new song, “The Reaping”, cut from the new offering and available immediately today on all streaming services worldwide, accompanied by an electrifying official music video.

The gripping track offers a whirlwind of emotions; articulating foreboding and sorrow through hooky electronic melodies and modern heaviness. Its collective themes express disillusionment with society’s current path toward imminent and inescapable consequences.

Keyboardist, founder, and main songwriter Martijn Westerholt says, “’The Reaping’ is a very expressive song with a serious subject – where the world/society is heading and metaphorical storms on the horizon. Musically the song can be recognized as a typical DELAIN song filled with heavy guitars, but also with the very recognisable 80’s synth elements DELAIN is known for.”

DELAIN return to the UK and Ireland from November 15th for seven headline dates. Joining them for all dates will be West Mids rock squad STONE BROKEN and progressive metal musician DAMIAN WILSON. Tickets are on sale now for all dates here.
