Lunar Prelude is the first EP by Dutch symphonic metal band Delain. [3] It was released on 19 February 2016. This is the first album with Ruben Israel on drums and Merel Bechtold on guitar. The track "Turn the Lights Out" is inspired by Neil Gaiman's The Sandman. [1]
Sputnik Music gave the album 3-stars, but wrote "Nothing on Lunar Prelude is going to surprise you. Symphonic metal with huge hooks is the order of the day. If you like Delain, you’ll find plenty to enjoy here, too. If you don’t like this band, there isn’t a single thing Lunar Prelude can do to change your mind." [2]
All lyrics are written by Charlotte Wessels [1]; all music is composed by Martijn Westerholt, Charlotte Wessels and Guus Eikens, except "Turn the Lights Out", co-written by Hendrik Jan de Jong [1]
