Defeated Sanity are the German death metal heavyweights whose ferocious technicality and crushing slams have made them one of the most respected names in brutal death metal.
Formed in Bavaria by drummer Lille Gruber and his father, guitarist Wolfgang Teske, Defeated Sanity have spent decades perfecting a sound that's as cerebral as it is punishing. Their early albums Prelude to the Tragedy (2004) and Psalms of the Moribund (2007) came out on UK label Grindethic. A move to Willowtip Records then brought the acclaimed Chapters of Repugnance (2010) and Passages into Deformity (2013).
The band have never played it safe. Disposal of the Dead // Dharmata (2016) was essentially a split release with themselves. One half was pure, primal brutality. The other was a loving nod to old-school progressive death metal, with vocals from Max Phelps, known for his work with Cynic and Death To All. The fiercely complex The Sanguinary Impetus (2020) earned them a place on the Billboard charts. After signing to Season of Mist, they returned to their most brutal roots on Chronicles of Lunacy (2024). Gruber's astonishing drumming drives everything they do, and the band have toured extensively across Europe, the US and beyond. Their London shows have a reputation for some seriously wild pits.
