Arch Enemy’s Alissa White-Gluz & Delain’s Charlotte Wessels Team Up On New Song “Lizzie”
Arch Enemy’s Alissa White-Gluz and Delain’s Charlotte Wessels have joined forces for a new song titled “Lizzie.“ The full track is available on both of their Patreon accounts.
White-Gluz commented:
“Today is the day!
I’m so incredibly proud to share the project that has kept me bubbling with ideas and not sleeping for the past couple weeks – “Lizzie”!
Just now, on both @charlottewessels and my own @patreon pages (links in our bios) we are sharing the music video for our song “Lizzie”, which is actually a three-way, all-woman collaboration with the deceased artist #ElizabethSiddal .
Doing this kind of thing ON TOP of our main bands is an incredible amount of work, but so rewarding! It is made possible by the support of our patrons (my #Beastlings!)
So – in return, the members of my FanClub and Charlotte’s page get all sorts of perks and today they get the whole song, the whole music video and even isolated stems so they can remix the song or sing and play along with us.
Thank you, Charlotte, for this amazing experience!!Please feel free to head over to #Patreon and check out more, we would love to have you.
Enjoy!”

Delain Premiere “Ghost House Heart” Music Video
Delain have premiered a new video for their new song “Ghost House Heart.” This track is from the band’s new album “Apocalypse & Chill,” which will be released on February 7.
Vocalist Charlotte Wessels commented:
“Going back to such an intimate song after the bombast of ‘Masters Of Destiny’ and ‘Burning Bridges’ feels a bit like switching gears, but I enjoy every minute of it. Singing this song is almost meditative, and I love the way voice, piano and violin weave together in the track. I hope our fans will love this change of pace as well, and I can’t wait to perform this song live on stage during our upcoming U.K. tour and our Valentine’s Day release show in Utrecht.”
Keyboardist Martijn Westerholt added:
“This song was created while spontaneously playing and singing together with Charlotte. It seemed to create itself. It’s also a nice change of pace in relation to the other songs we have written for the new album. As a pianist, of course it is fun to play a piano song for a change. We worked with violinist Shir-Ran Yinon and I think the way the violin intertwines with the vocal lines is mesmerizing. The video was a lot fun to make and it was a beautiful set with a lot of history.”
