johnannihilator DEFEATED SANITY NEVER MISSES!!! Back at it with another incredibly technical masterpiece, I've listened to this album probably close to 100 times already, this album is nothing short of brilliant in terms of song writing and lyrics, love it!!! Favorite track: Condemned To Vascular Famine.

avajnelez1 Everytime DF drops a new album, I'm like "This is so gonna top the previous release"
And I'm right every single time.
Love the inclusion of simmons SDS on this one :D Favorite track: The Odour Of Sanctity.

Metallurgical Fire I’ve enjoyed everything from DS, And they have one of the best drummers to ever do it. That said, no album from the band has ever been essential for me. The ingredients never synchronized in a way that I completely resonated with. Until now. Chronicles of Lunacy does it all and does it well. The epitome of brutal technicality. Favorite track: Condemned To Vascular Famine.

about

The underground has always lost their minds over Defeated Sanity for the better part of three decades. The band are revered for infusing old-school death metal with jazzy chaos and the technical precision of a classical composer. But when these four maniacs were thinking about their seventh album, the idea was to go easy on the brainteasers and get back to snapping necks.
Chronicles of Lunacy isn’t Defeated Sanity for dummies. Whether he’s hammering blast beats or springing between crash cymbals, founding member Lille Gruber never stops changing tempos during lead single “The Odour of Sanctity”. But this album does draw a jagged red line back to Defeated Sanity’s brutal origins. Its concept is wrapped up in all the twisted ways that delusional thinking warps our mind.
“Alienation gives birth to an unceasing hatred”, Josh Welshman growls from the pit of his gut, as long-time bassist Jacob Schmidt pounds the mix with gravity-defying slams.
To recapture the raw low-end of fan favorite Psalms of the Moribund, in January 2024, Defeated Sanity entered Thousand Cave Studios with producer Colin Marston. “Accelerate the Rot” now stands as the fastest ass-beater in their canon thanks to new guitarist Vaughn Stoffey, who’s eerie, pig squealing dissonance shreds like a rusty butcher knife.
On Chronicles of Lunacy, Defeated Sanity return to brutality.
