Comment on Delain – Interlude by Fanny D.

Regarding the limited edition digipack, I’d like to warn people about the FSK 0 sticker. It’s glued on the front of the cardboard and when trying slowly and gently to pull it off, the cardboard tore. I tried to pull from another side and a small piece also tore. I ended up placing my flatiron close to the cardboard and was able to pull it off but the “D” from Delain is loose.
I would suggest people try the flatiron tip from the start, like when trying to pull off a stamp, getting the steam close to the cardboard, not with the flatiron touching it of course.
I contacted Napalm about this. They are not willing to do anything about it. The sticker has to be there because of the DVD (to say anybody can buy it, how useless!). But still, those stickers aren’t made for cardboards (others are or it could be printed directly on the back) and that’s the responsibility of the company to me… Delain didn’t react (yet?).
Plus, it seems on the live songs on the DVD the sound wasn’t the one recorded in that performance. You can hear Charlotte hold a note sometimes yet she’s stopped singing on the video (or it’s an editing issue).
Otherwise, love the album and DVD!

A truly awesome night.. Great to see a true legend of rock at last – been waiting more than 20 years for that – .. and what a night. Spent a lot of time behind a camera to record it all so if you need a cost free pic let me know. Great review bang on.

I went to the same gig, did not have the problem with the sound, stood to the back, right of stage seemed fine although I was deaf when I left. I saw Enuff Z’Nuff last week at same venue and sound was awful for EZN but excellent for the the 2 support acts!
