Incredible second album for the Delain project
April Rain is Delain's second album. The Delain project was originally started as side project for keyboard player and composer Martijn Westerholt. Their first effort was well recieved enough that it created a following, allowing him and Charlotte Wessels to create April Rain.
I liked their first record quite a bit. It didn't have the sharp edges that much of current Dutch "gothic" metal usually has, but it had a sweetness and musicality that I enjoyed.
