About
The Human Contradiction is the fourth studio album by the Dutch symphonic metal band Delain. It was released on April 4, 2014 in Europe and on April 8, 2014 in North America. According to lead singer Charlotte Wessel, the album's title was inspired by Octavia E. Butler's science fiction trilogy Lilith's Brood. 'The Human Contradiction' refers to humans in general being highly intelligent and hierarchically structured at the same time. The songwriting, however, was not influenced by Lilith's Brood but continues the theme of being different that was portrayed by Delain's previous album We Are the Other.
