Delain announce additional guitarist to line-up

Dutch metal band Delain have announced that Merel Bechtold is now a permanent and additional member of the band. In their announcement, the band stated that they decided to adopt Merel into the family and use double guitar power. This will no doubt add a heavier dynamic to Delain's sound.

Merel commented, saying:

I'm excited to become a permanent Delain member and hugely looking forward to the upcoming tours and albums. See you on the road!

Delain start their European tour later this month. Further details at this location.
