Hear snippets of all 8 tracks from upcoming release

Delain have released audio snippets of all eight tracks from their upcoming Lunar Prelude EP.

It’s out on February 19 via Napalm Records and features two new tracks, four live cuts, an alternative take on Don’t Look Back and an orchestral version of Suckerpunch.

The band said: “Our latest album The Human Contradiction has taken us on a great ride, performing hundreds of stages around the globe for all of you.

“We barely managed to catch our breaths from our most recent tours, yet we’ve already got some new music that we simply can’t wait to share.”

Lunar Prelude is available for pre-order from Napalm Record’s webstore.

The Dutch outfit will head out on a North American tour with Nightwish next week.
