[edit] Details

Delenda brings two new unique differences to the band's sound. The first is the shortness of the band's songs. On their debut EP The Cassandra Complex, the song length ranged from five to eight minutes, while on this release the longest song is barely five minutes in length (the last three minutes of "mourning for morning" is silence, not actual music, making it roughly five minutes in length). The other new difference is the addition of clean vocals. The Cassandra Complex was either screamed or growled vocals in its entirety. About half the tracks on Delenda feature Will singing cleanly, and this new addition is most obvious in the song "Ghosts Over Japan" which is in fact clean vocals entirely.

• This is the first record featuring the band's current vocalist Will Jackson.
• Delenda is a concept album.
• Inside the booklet each song (excluding track six) has an added title to keep with the theme of the album's concept. They are as follows:

1. 1. Acknowledgement: The Right
   2. Soft Green Fields (Expired Terra Coffins)
   3. Release: A Piece of History Written in English
   4. Mourning: Dark Waters of Thought
   5. Anguish: Oracles And Doorsteps
   6. For Those Lost
   7. Oblivion: The Crusher
   8. Acceptance: Ghosts Over Japan
   9. Self-Actualization: These Lights Above Us
   10. Infinite Being: Mourning For Morning
