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
“By this time I should be there” Thought the Odd One Out, sitting next to a pond that rested close to the path. “I should have reached a place where I feel comfortable, a place that I feel like home. I should have achieved something, any goal. But still, I am on this endless road. What have I been doing? Just walking, just going through so much but still aimlessly.” The reflexion that the water showed seemed unfamiliar. “Why can´t I find my place? There is no rest for me or the little rest I find never lasts more than a couple of hours. It feels as if I had been condemned to walk forever, not belonging anywhere.”
The Odd One Out examined the unfamiliar reflexion on the pond. “I don´t recognise that face, but I do recognise those new wrinkles. Those are worry lines for my uncertain future, those are for laughing and those are for crying. I do also recognise those scars made by the risks I took, calculated or not. Those tired eyes that look at me, perhaps sadder but wiser, are still mine. Yes, definitely, this is me. This is me with all my dreams, the ones that came true and the ones which didn´t. This is me with all my failures, forgiven or not. This is me, with all the lessons I have learnt and the ones I still need to. This is me, accompanied or alone. This is me, with my demons and with every inch of beauty I have inside waiting to enlighten the world as long as I am able to. I am still The Odd One Out and being here right now, alone with my own story feels so much like home”.
lyrics
10. The Odd One Out
[Verse]
How can I feel such a freak, such a god dammed outsider for just being myself?
Blamed for whatever I am, for whatever I stand for, for what I am not
Judged and found guilty of being such a broken persons
A black sheep in the herd you hate to see
Keep closing your eyes still I won't disappear ´cause this is me
Weird!
Strange!
You can´t explain
[Chorus]
No, there is no way I change you'd better accept
Open your eyes and see what's to be me
No matter what you say this won’t change
Open your eyes and see what`s to be me
[Verse]
Feeling like the odd one out in an endless journey to find my heart
Lost in the mist of illusions of that I should be disappointing you
Never crushed by the dreams left behind
A swimmer against this tide we're forced to love
Weird!
Strange!
But never changed
[Chorus]
