Delirium Veil is the debut studio album by Twilightning, released April 22, 2003, on the label Spinefarm Records.




Background


In 2002, Finnish metal group Twilightning signed a recording deal with European label Spinefarm Records. In September 2002, the group entered the studio with producer Anssi Kippo and began recording their debut album. After just three weeks, the group exited the studio for unknown reasons, but resumed recording after five weeks off and recorded for another 10 days, finishing in early December 2002. The album was mixed the next month by highly regarded Finnish musician Timo Tolkki and then was released in April 2003. The critical response for the album was positive, with reviewers making comparisons to Edguy, Stratovarius, and Sonata Arctica. The Japanese edition of the album was released with alternative cover artwork and two bonus tracks: "The Escapist" and "Affection Seeker." The album takes its title from the fourth track "Delirium Veil."




Content and musical style


After the song "Jester Realm," there is a keyboard interlude entitled "Trip to the Dale Beyond the Delirium Veil," written by Ville Wallenius, Tommi Sartanen, and Mikko Naukkarinen. Guitarist Tommi Sartanen stated in an interview that the song "Masked Ball Dalliance" was about a ballroom dance that turns into a giant orgy. Despite their complexities, all songs from this album have been played live by the group. The song "Seventh Dawn" is about hangovers, and the song "Jester Realm" is about the Finnish military service.
