Concert Review
Featuring Charlotte Wessels performing with her project The Obsession at Dynamo Metalfest.
Former Delain vocalist Charlotte Wessels continues to explore new creative territory with her solo project The Obsession, and this electrifying performance at Dynamo Metalfest 2025 captures the full intensity of that artistic evolution.
Taking the stage with a powerful band and a striking visual presence, Wessels delivers a performance that blends symphonic metal, alternative rock, and cinematic atmospheres. From the moment the Intro begins, the crowd is pulled into a dramatic musical journey that highlights both her dynamic vocal range and the emotional depth of her songwriting.

The set launches into “Chasing Sunsets,” immediately setting a melodic yet powerful tone. Tracks like “Dopamine” and “Ode To The West Wind” showcase the modern sound of The Obsession, combining electronic textures with heavy guitar riffs and soaring vocals.
One of the most memorable moments of the show arrives with “The Crying Room,” where Wessels delivers an emotional performance that resonates deeply with the audience. The song’s haunting atmosphere perfectly contrasts with the energetic punch of “Vigor + Valor.”

Later in the set, “Breathe” and “Praise!” create a powerful emotional arc, building toward the intense finale “The Exorcism,” a dramatic closing track that leaves the audience energized and captivated.
Throughout the performance, Charlotte Wessels proves once again why she remains one of the most respected voices in modern symphonic and alternative metal.

The Good
Outstanding vocal performance from Charlotte Wessels
Strong mix of melodic, electronic, and heavy elements
Energetic festival atmosphere
Modern sound that expands beyond traditional symphonic metal

The Not-So-Good
Setlist is relatively short due to festival time limits
Fans of older material from Delain might wish for a few classics
Some atmospheric songs lose a bit of subtlety in the open festival setting
Still, when a vocalist with this much stage presence commands a massive metal crowd, even a shorter festival set becomes a memorable experience.
