Official Lyric Video for Spellcraft, off the upcoming Deliria album, Phantasm. The album will be released on May 3, 2024 on Vinyl, CD (Digipak), and digital formats.
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):
Begrudgingly, trudging through boscage to toil in seclusion
No sin is forgiven, no evil is risen, but still I have been cast away
Prostration in vain, beating my chest as I call out his name
But it makes no difference, pernicious influence, I’ll meet my remaker today
On my knees, oblation serves to make me heard by the spirit of the trees
She suffers me, all fades to black, no coming back, I've finally been set free
Shaping the mountains, shaping the breeze
Shaping her own reality
Unnatural beauty sings to me
Grotesque forms are returning
Shaping the mountains, shaping the breeze
Shaping my new reality
Forced to endure a rebirth
Forced to become her creature
Body in ruin, rotting, decaying, dying flesh
All at her behest
Made to suffer, made to bleed, made to enjoy the agony …...more
