Untitled

We Are the Others is the third full-length album by the Dutch symphonic metal band Delain. It was released in the Benelux and Germany on June 1 and in the United Kingdom and France on June 4, 2012, by CNR Music, who took over Delain when Warner Music refused to release We Are the Others. The first single, Get the Devil Out of Me, was released on April 13.

History

During their 2011 live shows, Delain debuted three new songs from the album – "Manson", "Get the Devil Out of Me" and "Milk and Honey". In an interview with Sonic Cathedral, vocalist Charlotte Wessels discussed the inspiration she drew from the Sophie Lancaster case:

I remember when I first heard about it … it wasn’t on Dutch news, I just heard about it through Internet networks and the goth scene … there was this movie made about it, a short film of about four minutes. I saw it, and I just cried. It’s so incredibly sad! After seeing the movie, I didn’t really DO anything with it until we were working on “We Are The Others.” But the basic idea of the lyrics was there. It was just supposed to be a song about “we are the others” and a feeling of togetherness. On the one hand, being proud of whoever you are, whether you divert from the norm in whatever way you divert from the norm. But on the other hand, it is also kind of a song for “others”. We just wanted a song about acceptance.

Originally intended for release in early 2012,[2] the album's release date was unknown after Warner Music's purchase of Roadrunner Records[1] but it was announced via a facebook message on the band official page that the album will be released on the 1st June 2012 with the albums first single, "Get the Devil Out of Me", being released on 13 April 2012.[3] The song was released for listening online on April 3 on their official website.[4] The second single from the album has been announced as the title track, "We Are the Others", and a music video is currently being filmed.[5]

Early response to We Are the Others was positive. Indulge Sound considered the time that the album took to be released and stated that "for fans of Delain, this is worth the wait. For those unsure of their feelings towards this genre, we’d certainly recommend you give it a try."[13]
