Delain the human contradiction 32011/8/2022 Delain and their albums are among the most frequent. States Marco: "I´ve done quite a few visitations on select albums during my career. We love his contributions on The Human Contradiction”. The band states “After our collaboration with Marco on our first two records we can’t help but hearing Marco’s voice in some of the songs we write. Prominent is the much anticipated return of vocal force Marco Hietala on the powerful number "Your Body Is A Battleground" and the melancholic "Sing To Me". One of the signature trades of DELAINs records has been the presence of guest musicians, and "The Human Contradiction" is no exception. Whether it is otherness within our species, so towards people who are perceived as ‘different’ by other people (which was "We Are The Others" main focus) or in our attitudes towards non-human ‘others’, which is the lyrical addition made by our new record.” in a way, "The Human Contradiction" presents a broadening and deepening of the lyrical concept of We Are The Others: ‘otherness’ and how people relate to this, has had my interest for years. This human contradiction causes an ‘us versus the others’ mentality, which in the book - as well as one could argue, in reality - proves to be a most self-destructive attitude. A post-apocalypse story, in which the fact that humanity did not last is explained by our two most contradictory qualities the fact that we are as a species both intelligent and hierarchic. These dark edges run along both the instrumental and lyrical world, of which Wessels states: “The title "The Human Contradiction" is taken from one of my favorite books Octavia E. Elaborate orchestral sounds and the return of prominent grunts are prevalent on the album which features longer, elaborate tracks, with dark edges. The result is a massive sounding collection of songs in which you will be able to recognize DELAIN’s recent sound, but which forefronts the more dark symphonic approach of their earlier work. The record was mixed by Fredrik Nordström and Henrik Udd at the legendary Fredman Studio’s (In Flames, Soilwork, Amon Amarth) and mastered by Grammy Award winning Ted Jensen of Sterling Sound, whose impressive credits include everything from Madonna and Billy Joel, to Muse, Marilyn Manson and Slipknot. And I’m so much looking forward to present it to our fans!" Also thanks to the mixing team of Fredman, and our guest artists. This was fantastic teamwork! I think this is the heaviest albums we made so far. He states: "It was a very special and inspiring experience, to create this new album together with Guus, Charlotte, my other bandmates Timo, Sander, Otto. Besides relying more heavily then ever on the team effort of DELAIN’s writing team consisting of DELAIN founder and keyboardist Martijn Westerholt, singer Charlotte Wessels and their long time musical partner Guus Eikens, DELAIN takes matters in their own hands by having Westerholt back in his trusted producer chair. If anything, this productive flow of creative juices comes from DELAIN taking matters into their own hands for the creation of "The Human Contradiction". Against the backdrop of this massive touring and releasing their special record "Interlude" which was introduced to the masses less then a year ago, DELAIN find themselves at top productivity with their upcoming 2014 release of "The Human Contradiction", which is set to meet and exceed expectations set by its predecessors.
