But after the success of debut album ''Lucidity'' a live band was created which recorded the album ''April Rain''. While Delain's previous album ''Lucidity'' featured many guest appearances, this album has only two: Maria Ahn, cellist from the Ahn Trio and Finnish singer Marco Hietala, who was featured on multiple tracks of ''Lucidity'' as well. "Virtue and Vice" is the only song on ''April Rain'' containing death growls performed by guitarist Ronald Landa, who also contributes clean vocals on "Invidia". Demo versions of "Stay Forever" and "Start Swimming" were already played live by Delain in 2007 and 2008. In November 2008, a version of the song "I'll Reach You" with alternate lyrics was performed live on a Dutch TV show to get attention for UNICEF & BT's "Inspiring Young Minds" charity. The original release date for the album was 9 February 2009, but in January it was announced that the release was postponed to coincide with foreign release dates. In February 2009, "April Rain" was revealed to be the first single from this album when it became available for purchase online.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Delain Discography - Singles )〕 On 13 March 2009, the Dutch website of Roadrunner Records put the entire album up for streaming, only available to residents of the Netherlands.() In October 2009, "Stay Forever" was announced as the second single from the album. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「April Rain」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
