29th September 2024 0 By Laura Jane

Fast emerging tech-metalcore band Eschalon have released their new single / video, ‘Delirium’, a frenzied exploration of a mind teetering on the edge of psychotic collapse.

Produced by Jake Ten

Plunge into the depths of ‘Delirium’. This high-intensity track channels the raw, unfiltered chaos of grappling with the brink of sanity. ‘Delirium’ offers a visceral glimpse into a psyche battered and torn by life’s relentless assaults.

The band comment: “Lyrically, the song paints a harrowing picture of desperation and inner turmoil, where the narrator is trapped within a self-imposed prison of madness. Writhing under the weight of his own thoughts, he battles the urge to seek help, paralysed by the fear of social stigma and the terrifying consequences of revealing his inner demons. As the lines between sanity and mania blur, he longs for the release of a final breath to end his torment.”
