So, what are you listening to these days?

[Mendalla]

New music from Dutch symphonic metal act Delain. Their lead singer Diana Leah left them so they are trying a new format, having multiple guest singers rather than a fixed lead singer. We'll see how this goes. Band founder Martin Westerholt is pretty creative guy and the band has a history of working with guests singers so I'm not surprised to see him trying something like this. Vocalists are Swiss singer Fabienne "Fabi" Erni (Eluveite and Illumishade), Italian Paolo Ribaldini (who has worked with Martin before), and Israeli Noa Gruman (Scardust). I am guessing this is a "gap filler" and there will be a successor to Diana at some point.

As for Diana, no word yet. Maybe a solo career? She's a good singer so I am sure she won't just disappear. Born in Romania and a resident of Italy since she was 10, Diana actually lived in Ottawa for 5 years in her twenties.

One of Diana's last releases with Delain, also featuring Paolo.

So after I posted that, I discovered that I actually had a video in my recommendations from "DYYA". And realized from the cover image that it was Diana. DYYA is Diana Leah's solo act and dates back several months. So either this split happened a while ago but has only just been announced or she's been quietly preparing for going solo.
