Moonbathers is the fifth studio album by Dutch symphonic metal band Delain. It was released on 26 August 2016 worldwide.
It features one guest appearance from Alissa White-Gluz. Just like We Are the Others, this album does not feature Marko Hietala. It is the only studio album with Ruben Israel on drums and Merel Bechtold on rhythm guitar.




Background


According to lead singer Charlotte Wessels, the lyrics on the album have a theme of death. This was unintentional and she only realized this after reviewing the lyrics she had written. Wessels has said that the title of the album comes from the idea that "Even in a dark place, there can also be that comfort in the dark." The songs "Danse Macabre" and "Chrysalis (The Last Breath)" were inspired by a film script, however she didn't specify which one.

"Scandal" is a Queen cover.
"Turn the Lights Out" was inspired by DC comic series "The Sandman" by Neil Gaiman.
"Hands of Gold" contains fragments of "The Ballad of Reading Gaol" by Oscar Wilde.
"Suckerpunch" and "Turn the Lights Out" were previously released on Lunar Prelude.
