The ravages of time always hunger for all that is animated, for fresh meat and warm blood. What is static or stationary they don t take a glance at. Founded in 2005, delilah are taking the thrill of vibrancy.
This art of being alive includes the test, the operation, yet many more tests and by definition not the exit. The experiment contra the haze of immortal repetition, the confrontation with the fragileness of curiosity.
Now their third record (12“ split with Men Killing Men – zach-records) is about to be released into the ears of those willing to be confronted. No deadlock and the eye of the beholder is mezmerized.
releases:
2007: „s/t“ EP, CDR, zach-rec.
2008: „ich bin mein zentrum“, EP, CDR, LP, self-distribution (promotion: trost-rec)
2008: „einfrieren“ kapu-sampler
2009: „men killing men/delilah“, 12“ split, zach-rec.
Shows in Austria, Czech Rep., Germany, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Hungary

"no holds barred, no guidelines respected, no genre markers interesting enough to be of any interest. the only rule is, there are no rules. [...] print these guidelines, hang them on the wall of the rehearsal room and then paint over it in thick blue and black with little sprinkles of red and white." - cracked (monochrom.at/cracked)
„[...] delilah schaffen es als eine der wenigen bands, mir im angesicht myraden an krachbands dies- und jenseits des äthers gitarrenmucke wieder näher zu bringen [...] ausgedehnte bis absurd lange groove-passagen scherzen unbekümmert mit den wildest-brachialen draufhauteilen auf den stufen vor einem musikverständnis-gebilde, in dem nur eines zählt: das feeling [...] es wird gespielt was gespielt werden muss [...] „ - ch. zollner (men killing men), kapuzine sept-okt 08
