This album is the first work of Delenda Est. Its sound is heavily influenced by early 2000s bands, such as Evanescence and Linkin Park, and the heavy riffs of the 90s music. It tries to offer a unique musical experience that runs from any preconception about what a metal album should be. Heavy distorted metal riffs, pounding drums and energetic rhythms are mixed with elaborated melodies full of beauty to create this musical journey. This album tells de story of a character called The Odd One Out that will be the guide of the listener through a world of light and darkness in search of self-knowledge, personal growth and, all in all, a place in life.

about
“I can´t go further” thought The Odd One Out and the bleeding feet and the burning lungs agreed. “How much time have I been running from fear, uncertainty, loneliness and, all in all, pain? Hours? Decades?” It seemed a whole life. A whole life trying to avoid those feelings that, in the end, where always waiting around the corner, inside every loved person or just inside the Odd One Out´s heart which was kept immersed in that sick and endless hunting game.
“But I am not the prey. There is no prey. There is no hunt” thought the Odd One Out turning around. Those shadows, those fears and that pain, they all were there, silently standing, mercilessly judging. The Odd One Out sat down, holding that look that was like looking into the deepest abyss and said:
- Now I can listen to what you have to say.
And that conversation finally happened for the first time in their lives. There was pain in the words, also tears and, above all, there was a lot of feelings that finally where discovered, unleashed. And when the talk finished, tears of joy where dropped to the ground like the seeds of a new life.
lyrics
8. Alive:
[Verse]
I feel alive
I needn’t hold this feeling
The more I tried not to believe it
The more my heart turned a piece of ice
Opaque enough not to see through
Not thick enough to hide the truth
Long time hiding in the dark
From myself
Now I know who I am
Hold on to what you have
There’s no need for looking back
Don’t conceal your feelings
Happy to cry, happy for living
[Chorus]
Sometimes water sets the fire
Burning inside of your mind
Sometimes gloomy, others healing
Giving you a deeper insight
Wash away that pain you’re feeling
Leaving your fears aside
I feel alive
[Verse]
Never run from what your guts say
Never be afraid from pain
Your wounds are lessons to be learnt
Don’t feel ashamed, nor stupid or upset
You’ll be stronger than you were
No more hiding your scars
That would be hiding all that you are
You will learn from your pain
Why to kneel, why to fight till the end
No more keeping
What you are feeling
No more keeping pain inside
[Chorus]
