Action! Presents

Charlotte Wessels – The Obsession

Plus Special guest Melissa Bonny

After 16 years as the front woman for Delain, Charlotte Wessels started releasing music under her own name in 2020. Her latest album 'The Obsession' was released in 2024.

Wessels already made a mark with her earlier solo endeavors, Tales From Six Feet Under Vol I (2021) and II (2022). These pandemic compilations of songs written, recorded and produced in her basement home studio showcased her ability to blend musical styles and deeply personal lyrics. Upcoming album The Obsession builds on this foundation, offering an even more immersive and powerful musical experience.

While incorporating fresh and progressive influences, the album also marks a return to her symphonic metal roots. It features collaborations with former Delain bandmates Timo Somers (guitar), Otto Schimmelpenninck van der Oije (bass), and Joey Marin de Boer (drums), alongside pianist Sophia Vernikov and keyboardist/orchestrator Vikram Shankar. Guest vocalists include Simone Simons (EPICA) and Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy). The 2025 special edition added a duet with Asger Mygind (VOLA).
