Delain is a Dutch symphonic metal band formed in 2002 by former Within Temptation keyboardist Martijn Westerholt, intending for the band to be solely a project. Singer Charlotte Wessels was invited to join in 2005. The name of the band comes from the Kingdom of Delain in Stephen King's novel, The Eyes of the Dragon.[2] In February 2021, the members parted ways while Westerholt stated he would continue the band as a solo project.[3] In June 2021, Westerholt announced that there would be a new lineup involving former and new members,[4] with Diana Leah later being announced as the new lead vocalist in August 2022.
