#323: Delain's Charlotte Wessels and Martijn Westerholt

Delain vocalist Charlotte Wessels and keyboardist Martijn
Westerholt join us on the podcast this week. We discuss the band's
new record, Apocalypse and Chill, their ideas for the best possible
apocalypse experience, the hopeful vibe that the lyrical approach
on the record conveys despite the dark subject matter, the use of
technology in the making of the album, the importance of never
planning a direction when creating music, Charlotte’s desire to
sing the album’s ballad live on stage, and the heavier presence of
electronics this time around. We also discuss Martijn's trip to Las
Vegas to get married and the romantic milestones we endure to
celebrate our partners. Petar, Brandon, and Jozalyn tackle yet
another sad death in the metal family with the death of Corrosion
of Conformity drummer Reed Mullin, as well as Kobe Bryant's passing
and the metal community's reaction to it. Songs: Corrosion of
Conformity - “13 Angels," Delain - “One Second” and “Burning
Bridges” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
