No band has flipped death metal on its deformed head like Defeated Sanity. The band’s uniquely potent concoction of punishing technical proficiency and jazz-infused chaos has delighted metalheads from their familial beginnings in Berlin to Maryland Deathfest and India. Now, after breaking onto the Billboard charts with their last album, these underground champions are returning to the brutal slamming that cemented their legacy.
Few bands in the halls of metal have marched to a beat that’s more brazen, brutal and bizarre than Defeated Sanity. Thirty years after their flaming, cataclysmic demo, the underground legends have repeatedly slammed death metal on its deformed skull. Each member is a certified lunatic when it comes to breaking brains with their fine-tuned instruments, but the band’s punishing headiness is led by drummer Lile Gruber, their fleet-footed co-founder and singular mastermind.
Ever since their maniacal mastermind picked up his first pair of sticks at the tender age of six, Defeated Sanity have found newly inventive ways to spin death metal on its deformed head. This band of technical headbangers have broken onto the Billboard charts with jazz-infused chaos and even recorded a proggy split with…themselves?
The underground has lost their mind over Defeated Sanity. With each repugnant chapter in the band’s 30-year history, these technical lunatics have discovered dizzying ways to slam old-school death metal on its deformed head. Heck, they even recorded a split LP with themselves.
Defeated Sanity slammed the realm of underground metal on its deformed head last week with the announcement of their upcoming seventh album. The boundary-breaking death metal band still hit from every odd angle, but on Chronicles of Lunacy, these technical maniacs return to sheer brutality.
Defeated Sanity have broken the minds of metalheads for 30 odd years. While their lineup has undergone relentless mutation, the band keep finding dizzying ways to slam old-school death metal on its deformed skull.

But on their upcoming seventh album, Chronicles of Lunacy, these technical maniacs wanted to work out the more depraved part of their brain.
