“After the Storm” is DIANNE VAN GIERSBERGEN’s (ex-Xandria) long-awaited first solo single. Produced and co-written by Joost van den Broek (Powerwolf, Epica, Ayreon), featuring Isaac Delahaye (Epica) on guitar, Johan van Stratum (Blind Guardian, Stream of Passion) on bass guitar, Koen Herfst ( Van den Berg, Armin van Buuren) on drums and released under her own name “DIANNE”. It’s symphonic metal, it’s power metal and it’s topped with DIANNE’s characteristic, dramatic operatic voice.
“After the Storm” is a song about standing up for yourself and abandoning your position as a pawn in someone else’s war. The lyrics are autobiographical and discuss her emotional rollercoaster of anger, betrayal, deep regret but also the foresight of a new dawn and the goal to emerge stronger. A heartfelt story, captured in a cinematic video (by Blackbriar) that will accompany the single’s release.
“After the Storm” will be released on February 14th 2023, Valentine’s Day. A date deliberately chosen to highlight that she has come full circle with the last single she released with Xandria in 2017: „Queen of Hearts Reborn“.
