"It’s time to make an end to all rumour and speculations, today we’re anouncing our new guitar player. We’re happy to introduce Timo Somers as our new guitarist. Timo’s been rehearsing with us for quite some time and we’re very confident that we’ve found the best possible new Delain team member in him; this guy’s got music in his blood. You’ll be getting to know more about about Timo in the upcoming weeks through our updated member profiles and through the shows of our upcoming European tour, where he’ll make his debut. For now you can learn more about Timo by reading our blog where you can read a little more about his background. We’re looking forward to our first shows with Timo on tour, see you on the road!"
