Delain played a great set. This is the "new" reconstituted Delain, so all or most of the personnel are new aside from the keyboard player, who is the band leader. Diana sounds very much like Charlotte, so I'm assuming that's part of why she got the job. They played a lot of old material, i.e. from the original Delain, which surprised me a little bit, but I guess that makes sense since the band, in one form or another, has been around for more than a decade.
The Forge is a tiny venue, but that does make it more "intimate" than a larger venue. If the house capacity was even 500 people, I'd be surprised. It's probably more like 300 I would guess.
