At the end of 2007 Delain stated that they intend to release a second album in 2008, so far, the band has begun playing two new songs live: “Stay Forever” & “Start Swimming”. In November 2008, it was announced that the new album “April Rain” would be released on February 9th, 2009. Also they played a new song on Dutch television called “I’ll Reach You”. In 2009, “April Rain” was delayed until March 2009, while the single is still to be released in February.
