This quartet has hit the right spot with a song titled ‘Prolonged Exposure to Delusion’. Asylum 213 from Richmond, City of Virginia, the very USA in news, gets the song to arrive at an apt moment. ‘Prolonged Exposure to Delusion’ will go down the history along with the current American Political Gump. The song matches the agonising pain one has in the brain right now. This hardcore rock band Asylum 213 forces one to face the brutality of reality through this song. To face the spiralling depths of the mind that is now healing from the delusion of eons.

This grunge alt-rock brings out the unsettled feeling that the human mind is traversing through currently. The haunting mix mirrors the lyrical theme. The anguish in the vocals is like explosive outbursts of the repressed voices of the collective. The shoegaze-inspired parts of the track offer a semblance of balanced structure in an otherwise volatile composition. Lyrically this song is a powerhouse. “Another delusion placate./ What was real and just what we think?/ You can never leave./But would you even try?” The words reflect such ominous and tragic state of a mind that has been in the grip of delusion for so long, and the urgency to become aware so as to heal it.
