Editor's note

Charlotte Wessels, from Delain to solo Dutch metal

A Dutch singer who left symphonic metal band Delain to write her own songs, including 'Afkicken' and 'Superhuman'.

For a quick sense of her style, try 'Afkicken' for the Dutch-language depth and 'Superhuman' for something more anthemic.

She spent over a decade as lead vocalist for Delain, which she co-founded in 2007, and her solo work digs into personal territory. Songs like 'Afkicken' tackle addiction and recovery in Dutch, while 'Superhuman' shows her range. She's spoken openly about stage fright and anxiety, giving her music a grounded, lived-in feel.

She studied at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and helped start Delain in 2007. After leaving the band in 2019, she focused on solo albums like 'Tales from Six Feet Under' and 'Scarlet Symphony'.
