Charlotte Wessels

Music lovers will know Charlotte Wessels as the former lead vocalist for symphonic metallers Delain. In 2021 this band temporarily dissolved, leaving Charlotte free to pursue her own musical path. Known for her characteristic, pop-oriented voice, her solo work is still recognisable: the love of epic songs and symphonic arrangements is still present but both ‘Tales from Six Feet Under’ albums nevertheless take a broader approach, with contributions ranging from indie pop to synth-infused rock. Bathed in a nostalgic atmosphere, her most recent outing ‘The Obsession’ (2024) heralds a return to a heavier symphonic metal sound. On the new LP she is assisted by three former Delain bandmates and the operatic interludes help create a wonderfully balanced album. Simone Simons (Epica) and Alyssa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy) are among the guest vocalists. #GMM25
