Delirium MT Releases "The Deceased" with Official Music Video

Heavy metal trio, Delirium MT, just released their newest single, "The Deceased," along with its accompanying official music video. The band is made up of members, Noel Zarb (vocals/guitar), Aidan Falzon (bass), and Karen Micallef (drums). Originally formed in 2022, the band is following their 2022 album release, "State of Delirium".

Their new single explores themes of self-inflicted pain and self-sabotage as the music video builds a dark overall atmosphere that reflects the lyrical content of the song.

Delirium MT begins with fuzzy heavy metal guitar tones that remind me of a classic metal sound, before being joined by booming drums and vocals that alternate from ferocious lows to shrill high screams. Interestingly, the sludgy, doom-esque vocals take a different sound than expected alongside the extreme vocals, creating a sound that reminds me of a mix between Black Sabbath and death metal. Delirium MT captures a unique balance between modern heaviness and a nostalgic, classic metal sound that is still so beloved today. Technical instrumentation is matched by chugging, creating a mix between more progressive and heavy elements.

Mirroring the instrumentals, throughout the music video, we watch the protagonist struggle against harmful habits and themes of addiction before injecting himself with something, as dark hooded figures appear to rub blood all over the man. He eventually wakes up, smashing objects around his room before crumbling to the ground, looking defeated. The music video shows the story of a man hitting rock bottom before realising that he must pull himself together and seek help.
