The Profile

Delirium are an Italian progressive rock group formed in Genoa in the early 1970s. Known for the hit “Jesahel”, they blend theatrical, narrative prog with melodic sensibilities and have continued activity in various lineups, including the current I.P.G. incarnation.

Formed in Genoa in the early 1970s; Italian progressive rock band; reached the pop charts with “Jesahel”. The review highlights Ettore Vigo (keyboards) and Martin Grice (woodwinds) and notes the album Sesta Strada lungo il Tempo released via Black Widow Records.

A reflective review of Delirium’s Sesta Strada lungo il Tempo highlights a narrative, old-school prog approach. The 22-minute “Schiavo della Viltà” anchors the album as a mini-opera. Themes revolve around time and lives at the margins, with storytelling vocals. Ettore Vigo and Martin Grice carry the classic sound, while production by Black Widow Records remains clear yet unvarnished. A work of continuity rather than reinvention.
