We Are The Others is the third full-length album by the Dutch symphonic metal band, Delain. It will be released in the Benelux and Germany on June 1 and in the United Kingdom and France on June 4, 2012, by Roadrunner Records. The first single, Get The Devil Out of Me was released on April 13.
History
During their 2011 live shows, Delain debuted three new songs from the album - Manson, Get The Devil Out Of Me and Milk And Honey. In an interview with Sonic Cathedral, Wessels discussed the inspiration she drew from the Sophie Lancaster case:
I remember when I first heard about it … it wasn’t on Dutch news, I just heard about it through Internet networks and the goth scene … there was this movie made about it, a short film of about four minutes. I saw it, and I just cried. It’s so incredibly sad! After seeing the movie, I didn’t really DO anything with it until we were working on “We Are The Others.” But the basic idea of the lyrics was there. It was just supposed to be a song about “we are the others” and a feeling of togetherness. On the one hand, being proud of whoever you are, whether you divert from the norm in whatever way you divert from the norm. But on the other hand, it is also kind of a song for “others”. We just wanted a song about acceptance.
