DELIRIA is an evocative post black metal band from the San Francisco Bay Area formed in 2017 by David Scanlon (DAWN OF OUROBOROS). A fundamental critique of consciousness, the band 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 their debut album, Nausea.

Inspired by existential dread, Rupp's tortured misery and Scanlon's somber 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 lineup, with Deliria performing alongside acts such as Tyr, Ulcerate, and The Zenith Passage.

The band re-entered the studio in 2020 to record their second full-length album, Phantasm. Bolstered by Andrew Baird (FALLUJAH) on drums, Deliria expands its melancholic approach, this time highlighting its morbid and occult arrangements.

Deliria’s current lineup features the addition of drummer Brandon Clevenstine (SYMBOLIK). Together the quintet has gathered enthusiasm among fans of their influences, such as Katatonia, Blue Öyster Cult, and Fields of the Nephilim.

Lyrics (Written by Adam Rupp):

Come my demons I beckon thee
Hurtle me towards my ruin
Lay waste to monotony
Create my illusion
Plant seeds of deceit
Bring forth castigation

Suffering
Subsiding
Numbness is overtaking
Carrying, so gently
Renewed malignancy

My vision, enhanced
Can see clearly at last
I’m captured, enraptured
My vision I have mastered

Become one, my faith
Transcend this earthly state
But quickly it’s waining
They will not conquer me

It burns, it rips, it tears, I am consumed by abject terror, I feel them crawling inside me, the lesions growing everywhere
I claw I shred I fight, it’s all for their abject delight, I feel it all consuming me, there was no way I could forsee
And yet here I stand, no longer merely a man, in spite of all I gave they’ll know that I am no slave

I am no slave
