Defeated Sanity Release Ripping Bass Playthrough of “Amputationsdrang”
Posted on January 9, 2025
More information about Chronicles of Lunacy
Fans and critics have been losing their minds over Defeated Sanity. Last year, brutal death metal’s most relentless innovators returned to the raw brutality of their early classics, but the band’s new album has also taken their legacy to even greater extremes. Not only has Chronicles of Lunacy landed on notable year-end lists from across the world of metal, rock and pop. It’s also broken onto the Billboard charts.
“Germany’s gods of brutality never disappoint” Loudwire write in naming Chronicles of Lunacy one of the best death metal albums of 2024.
“Chronicles of Lunacy is 2024’s most vivid reminder of why I love death metal”, Angry Metal Guy’s Maddog howls, slotting the album at #8 on their year-end list.
“…it’s simply amazing that they can pull this insane shit off live!”, says Dave Davidson of Revocation, who named Chronicles of Lunacy one of his top albums from last year.
While known for their mind-bending jazzy interludes, Defeated Sanity aren’t ones to slow down. The band are slamming into 2025 with their first headlining tour of Europe in six years. To gear up for this 20+ date run, they’re releasing a new playthrough from Chronicles of Lunacy. “Amputationsdrang” opens their new album and it wastes no time before burying you underground. Even when Jacob Schmidt slips off into an oozing, bouncy groove, the tone of his Modulus Quantum bass keeps the song’s low-end nice and filthy.
Watch Defeated Sanity bassist Jacob Schmidt rip through “Amputationsdrang”.
The third pressing of Chronicles of Lunacy is now available on Season of Mist.

Posted on December 16, 2024Around this time last year, before the underground legends descended one last time into Menegroth, The Thousand Caves, Defeated Sanity felt like they were in need of an adjustment.
