Dutch symphonic rock band Delain appeared at the 2012 Wacken Festival in Germany at the beginning of August, as part of the ongoing tour for their third studio release ‘We Are The Others’.

Metal-Trails.com caught up with Delain’s frontwoman Charlotte Wessels to get all the latest news from the band, and you can now view their twenty minute chat below.

‘We Are The Others’ was released via Roadrunner Records in June and provided the band with a top 5 success in The Netherlands.

Watch other interviews with Charlotte from April and May 2012 here and here.

Nickelback have released a new video clip for ‘Trying Not To Love You’, the fifth single from their double-platinum 2011 release ‘Here & Now’.

The clip stars ‘Seinfeld’ actor Jason Alexander and Baywatch’s Brooke Burns in a clip that has attracted some very negative criticism, much like everything else featuring Nickelback. In the video, Alexander works at a coffee shop and fantasises about Burns rolling about in coffee beans, in a scene which parodies the iconic dream sequence from the 1999 movie ‘American Beauty’.

You can watch the clip below.

…And then, to make up for it, you can also view a clip of ‘This Means War’, a vastly superior track from the same album, just below that.

As a founding member of The Posies, Ken needs no introduction to power pop fans. In October 2012, he releases a new solo album, ‘Danzig In The Moonlight’. If you can’t wait that long, you can hear a track from it below.

In addition to work with The Posies, Stringfellow has also been a member of the latter day Big Star, as well as performing session work with Neil Young and Death Cab For Cutie.

‘Danzig In The Moonlight’ is released on Lojinx Records on October 1st.
