Breathtaking live

It's not often that a band exceeds live what they've put down on cd these days, but this is one of those bands!
Highly recommended, and I can't wait for the new album.

This was a totally amazing and definitely unforgettable show!! All the memebers of the band were great, the singer was fantastic, beautiful voice and style, very friendly and sweet, and the whole performance very thoughtfully and creatively set. Both support bands were very very good, as well, with Amanda Sommerville making the difference, with her incredible voice and presence on stage..

They did ok but this Eurogoth rock is better from many others. There was all too much "happy clapping" and insincere You're a great audience stuff. For children. I was disappointed.

Overall a thoroughly enjoyable night. First support band wasn't great, but Trillium the second support was fantastic (even got an autograph after).
Met some great likeminded people and the atmosphere was amazing.
Delain themselves were spot on, really professional and played mixture of new material and fan favourites which got a great response, judging by the singing and jumping around.
A friend I took along was very impressed also and a new convert to the world of female fronted metal bands.

It was the first time i had seen Delain, and also the first time i had been to the venue. Quite frankly the small sive of the venue made the experience so much better, It was quite an intimate gig being so close to the stage no matter where you stood. I will be seeing Delain and the supporting act Trillium again.

Love this venue, and Delain did not disappoint.
Was not a fan of April Rain as it always seemed a little to "clean" and over produced compared to the raw sound of Lucidity - a little too like listening to the Corrs!
But live, the songs took on a whole new meaning. The guitars were a lot more raw and powerful. The album now sounds a lot better as I hear the live show overlaying many of the songs.
If you like Delain, you will love the live!

I've been a fan of delain and all things symphonic metal for while now and didn't have any problem picking them as my first live band to see of this genre as their albums are awesome.
I'm happy to say that there as good live and they are on my ipod. The vocals were clear, powerful and made each song even better than the last. Charlotte Wessels was on top form and had a smile on her face for the whole gig and worked the crowd very well. Guiters were on form and the drums and keyboards were also top notch.
I've not got one bad thing to say about them. They also played my two favourite songs, Sleepwalkers dream and the Gathering, which were both epic so I went home a very happy man.
The support, Trillium and Halcyonway, were both good as well. Trillium had a good lead singer in Amanda Somerville and were a good warm up act for delain. Their last song coward was pretty dam good as well.

I was new to this venue. I've been to many a gig in London but never at the O2 Academy in Islington so I was keen to see what it was like.
Sadly, we missed opening act LOST IN THOUGHT, although did hear good things about their set. Thankfully though we caught SERENITY. I was looking forward to seeing them as I am a relatively new convert to their cause but am very much liking what I hear.
And SERENITY did not disappoint! This band has power, melody, harmony and song writing skills to get them to, and then keep them right at the top of their game. And in singer Georg Neuhauser, they have both a front man and a damn fine singer too!
To crown their excellent set, they were joined onstage by the lovely Lisa Middelhauve (ex Xandria), who showed anyone who didn't already know, that she is still a force, and a VOICE to be reckoned with.
The lights dimmed and to the thunderous appreciation of the audience (myself included) headliners DELAIN took the stage. What seemed like a million mobile phones flashed, and then did it again when singer Charlotte Wessels joined her bandmates. DELAIN set about the audience with little mercy, drummer Sander Zoer pounding out each song impressively, expertly utilising precise and driving double kick-drums when called upon to do so. New guitarist Timo Somers sported an almost constant grin, launching into the set as if he'd played the songs all his life, while exchanging headbangs, and occasionally places, with bassist Otto Schimmelpenninck van der Oije; the latter's mass of hair whirling about impressively.
Classics like Sever, April Rain, Go Away, Virtue and Vice and Stay Forever had the audience singing, jumping, swaying and headbanging, despite the rather packed house, all overseen by a relaxed and smiling Martijn Westerholt, from behind his keyboards.
Easing into a mini acoustic set halfway through, they delivered amongst others, a personal favourite of mine 'Start Swimming'. Two new tracks were aired; singer Charlotte Wessels exclaiming that these tunes were 'so new they did not yet have titles'.
The Gathering, from their first album 'Lucidity' saw the audience and then Charlotte singing the part originally dealt with by Nightwish's bassist/vocalist Marco Hietala. I came away singing this, and I still have it in my head three days later.
A first class gig from a first class band. Roll on the new album and the next tour!

This was a simply stunning night of symphonic metal at the Academy. Despite some glaring tech issues in LiT and on first Delain track all acts recovered to deliver fine performances. Lost In Thought covered 4 songs of their debut and put in a fine performance. Serentiy soon followed and whipped the corwd into a frenzy. The sound was colossal and the performsance spot on. FInally the main act......sound problems and mixing dogged Wessels in the first track but this was soon sorted. THe band again encountered at tech issue that put a small dent int he show, the banter regsarding a good joke to pass the time ahs already become legendary banter. But the problem was resolved and back to work they went. CLosing with the magnificent The Gathering the band whipped the crowd to their peak and delivered a memorable closing to the gig. First class fun despite the odd techie issue

The night was warmed up with good starting group Lost in Thought who got the atmosphere going. Serenity then took the stage and improved an already good night...lead singer got the people rocking.
Then...
Delain !
Absolutely brilliant! Not much more to be said. New guitarist Timo looked as though he was enjoying himself as did the rest of the band. Just a FANTASTIC night!!!
Thanx to Dealin for kindly giving me their autographs
