The USA-based post-black metal outfit Deliria has unveiled the title track of its upcoming album, Phantasm, due on 3 May. The "Phantasm" lyric video awaits you in the player below.
Following its 2017 debut full-length, Nausea, Phantasm explores dark realms and the shadowy reality of everyday struggles.
Deliria is an evocative post-black metal band from the San Francisco Bay Area formed in 2017 by David Scanlon (Dawn Of Ouroboros). The band, a fundamental critique of consciousness, crafts ordinary life in endogenous melancholia. Quickly joined by vocalist Adam Rupp (Kill The Messenger), the duo sought drummer Jared Klein (Rivers Of Nihil) to record its debut album, Nausea.
Inspired by existential dread, Rupp's tortured misery and Scanlon's sombre melodies coalesce in bleak pessimism and gloomy aurorae. In 2018, the additions of guitarist Brent Rockwell (The Undying) and Jade Forsythe (Embrium) secured a live line-up, with Deliria performing alongside acts such as Tyr, Ulcerate, and The Zenith Passage.
The band re-entered the studio in 2020 to record its second full-length, Phantasm. Bolstered by Andrew Baird (Fallujah) on drums, Deliria expands its melancholic approach, this time highlighting its morbid and occult arrangements. Deliria's current line-up features the addition of drummer Brandon Clevenstine (Symbolik). Together, the quintet has gathered enthusiasm among fans of its influences, such as Katatonia, Blue Öyster Cult, and Fields Of The Nephilim. Link
