Alkoholen Delirium (Alcoholic Delirium) is the debut album of Bulgarian rock band Hipodil, released in 1993 under the Unison-RTM label.[1] Although some tracks were included in the band's Tu'pest compilation in 2000, the album was only released on audio cassettes.
The album immediately attracted the attention of the public with its explicit lyrics and punk musical stylings, which, though not unknown in Bulgaria, were rarely recorded and performed. The album also reflected the changes in Bulgaria, which was desperately trying to cope with the legacy of the recently overturned Communist regime. Hipodil enjoyed and even abused this newfound freedom, a fact that is quite visible in their self-produced debut. They also rode a wave of scandal provoked by their explicit lyrics, which helped create a cult following, mainly in Sofia and some other big cities.
Analysis
The music was inspired heavily by Slayer and Judas Priest. Using only Bulgarian lyrics, rich in slang and puns, Hipodil managed to transcend their shortcomings in musical talent and the poor quality production work. Inexperienced as they were, Hipodil smartly invited an assortment of musicians, which greatly added to their music's appeal.
The biggest hit was "Jnata" ("The Woman"), which was the first to get airplay and even had a music video. But, the audience chose the quasi-ballad "Momicheto" ("The Girl") which quickly became a gig favorite despite misogynistic lyrics.
