The Delusion Cycle is the latest album by Aberrated, a band known for their unique take on progressive metal. The album is a journey through the mind of a tormented individual, exploring the themes of mental illness and the struggle to maintain a grip on reality.
The album opens with the haunting track "Delirium", which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The intricate guitar work and complex drumming create a sense of unease, while the vocals add to the overall feeling of despair.
As the album progresses, the listener is taken on a journey through the various stages of mental illness. "Obsession" is a frenzied track that perfectly captures the feeling of being consumed by one's own thoughts, while "Hallucination" is a trippy, psychedelic track that explores the surreal world of delusions.
Despite the heavy subject matter, there are moments of beauty and hope throughout the album. "Revelation" is a stunning instrumental track that showcases the band's talent for creating intricate, layered music, while "Acceptance" is a poignant track that deals with coming to terms with one's own mental illness.
