On Friday, melodic synth-metal masters DELAIN will finally release their new EP Dance with the Devil! As a final harbinger, the brand new song „The Reaping“ is released today together with an exciting music video.
With their new song, the band around founder and mastermind Martijn Westerholt unleashes a whirlwind of emotions and feelings, expressed through electronic synthesizer melodies and hard sounds. „The Reaping“ deals with collective issues and expresses disappointment with the current path of society – along with the inevitable impending consequences. The track is now available on all streaming services worldwide.
The new EP Dance with the Devil unites past, present and future. DELAIN present themselves more modern than ever and impressively underline their high status in the scene. An absolute must for every fan’s heart!
Martijn Westerholt on „The Reaping“:
„‚The Reaping‘ is a very expressive song that deals with a serious topic – where the world/society is heading and the metaphorical storms on the horizon. Musically, the song is clearly recognizable as a typical DELAIN track, full of powerful guitars, but also with the distinctive 80’s style synth elements DELAIN is known for.“

Dance with the Devil contains two completely new songs as well as many surprises and is DELAIN’s second release under a newly formed lineup. The quintet showcases a full, modern sound that fuels anticipation for all that is to come in the future.
Martijn Westerholt on the new EP:
„We are incredibly excited to finally be able to release our new material. In addition to the new songs, it was fantastic to capture some magical live moments from our European tour earlier this year as live tracks on this EP. We are definitely very excited about the release and can’t wait to bring this new music to the stage!“
