Delirium Xtremens
is a 5-piece outfit from Italy playing death metal the old way. The 5
songs on the album called “Cyberhuman” are equally good in intensity and
roughness, except for the third song titled “Delirium 9991” which is a
lean back tranquil ballad with an atmospheric guitar. This is probably
the lighter song when Delirium Xtremens hits the road from time to time.
 This
fine band has been a part of the Italian metal scene for app. 7 years
now. And during that time, they have experienced several changes in the
line-up. They are still on the prowl for a label to sign them, but I’m
convinced that this release is an important step in that direction. Let
me emphasize – for starters, the vocal by Alberto “Ciardo” Da Rech. |
Here’s a guy who knows how to growl with a guttural twist, but he is
still making the lyrics understandable without ever loosing the edge and
roughness. The guitars work is kick-ass as well as the skin bashing.
Since I got the record a few days ago, I’ve listened to it a couple of
times. There are no glitches or flaws in the music itself, and the
record as a whole, appears to be very well produced, and with some
impressive artwork done by Francesco Tarlá, who obviously is into this
shit in a darn good way. All in all a pretty neat album, that has
already received some well deserved reviews both in Italy and abroad.
This review is –as far as I know, the bands introduction to the
Scandinavian audience, whom I am convinced will welcome this band
positively. |

The line-up is
this: Matteo ”Pondro” De Mori on the fourstringer, Lorenzo Baldan on
guitar, Thomas Lorenzi på skins and kettles, Fabio ”Med” Della Lucia on
guitar and Alberto ”Ciardo” Da Rech as the voice of the band..
