Aniek Jansses – Vocals/Flue | Coert Bouten – Guitar | Marcel Volleberg – Guitar | Roel Van Helden – Drums | Sjoerd Hoeijmakers - Bass
A metal band with a female singer, another one? Yes, but one without a ball dress, “tough” leather clothes, make-up or fake choirs on tape. Delphian are just a band with melodic, progressive and honest music that doesn't need a gimmick to distract your attention from the music.
Based in the south of the Netherlands quintet Delphian were founded at the beginning of this century by guitarist Coert Bouten and drummer Roel van Helden (also a member of Sun Caged). After a long search and a dozen musicians the current line-up was finally completed in the summer of 2003 with Marcel Volleberg (guitar), Sjoerd Hoeijmakers (bass) and Aniek Janssen (vocals/flute).
The further story is one with a standard course; Delphian did a lot of gigs; a demo CD was recorded which got a lot of positive reviews and made a deal possible with Finnish label Lion Music.
Their debut album “Oracle” (mixed by Joost van den Broek [After Forever, Star One/Ayreon, ex-Sun Caged]) will be released on July 22nd 2005.
A lot of reviewers have praised Delphian for their non-comparable unique sound consisting of dynamic and creative rhythms combined with melodic guitar riffs. This is built upon by the crystal clear vocals and flute playing of female singer Aniek. The songs are very diverse from up-tempo metal songs to mysterious acoustic ballads.
“Oracle” will be released on July 22nd 2005
