'''''We Are the Others''''' is the third studio album by Dutch [[symphonic metal]] band [[Delain]]. It was released in the Benelux and Germany on 1 June 2012 and in the United Kingdom and France on 4 June by [[CNR Music]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://site.delain.nl/shownews/component/Articles/show/article/id/2149 |title=Delain – Delain announce release date for We Are The Others |publisher=Site.delain.nl |date= |accessdate=2012-08-02}}</ref> who took over Delain when Warner Music refused to release ''We Are the Others''. The album was released in the US on 3 July. The first single, "[[Get the Devil Out of Me]]", was released on 13 April. The second single "We Are The Others" and its video was released on 11 September 2012. This is the first album by Delain without any studio songs with guest vocalist [[Marko Hietala]]. Live versions of "The Gathering" and "Control the Storm" are featured on the special edition of the album with Hietala singing his parts live.
==History==
During their 2011 live shows, Delain debuted three new songs from the album – "Manson" (which was later renamed to "Mother Machine"), "Get the Devil Out of Me" and "Milk and Honey".
In an interview with Sonic Cathedral, vocalist [[Charlotte Wessels]] discussed the inspiration she drew from the [[Sophie Lancaster]] case:
{{cquote|I remember when I first heard about it … it wasn't on Dutch news, I just heard about it through Internet networks and the goth scene … there was this movie made about it, a short film of about four minutes. I saw it, and I just cried. It's so incredibly sad! After seeing the movie, I didn't really DO anything with it until we were working on "We Are the Others." But the basic idea of the lyrics was there. It was just supposed to be a song about "we are the others" and a feeling of togetherness. On the one hand, being proud of whoever you are, whether you divert from the norm in whatever way you divert from the norm. But on the other hand, it is also kind of a song for "others". We just wanted a song about acceptance.|20px|20px|Charlotte Wessels|SonicCathedral.com interview<ref name="soniccathedral1"/>}}
