Female fronted Dutch symphonic metal. Honestly, never heard them before, which is surprising considering my uncontrollable boner for Nightwish a few years back. Gimmie some pretentious stringy goodness!
Delain - The Human Contradiction
Track 1 - Here Come The Vultures
Bells and piano under a solid female vocal, into a pretty goddamn killer riff. She's a very strong mid range alto. So far she hasn't blown it up with crazy high notes, but the song hasn't really called for that. Her voice is solid and fitting for what they're doing. The symphonic stuff is intelligible but not overwhelming. Song ends the same way it started but muted.
Hmmm. Yeah. So that exists. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad. If you dig on female fronted symphonic metal then this is right up your alley, but don't expect any mold breaking or box stepping-out-of. I might check out the rest of the album later just to see if she has more range in her voice.
