DEFEATED SANITY have pushed the boundaries of extreme metal for 30 odd years. The band execute jazz-infused chaos with mind-bending precision, while also slamming together so many memorable breakdowns that they cracked the Billboard charts. Their upcoming seventh album still hits from every odd angle, but on “Chronicles of Lunacy”, these technical maniacs return to sheer brutality. The new record is set to be released through Season of Mist on 22 November 2024.

“The last few DS albums leaned heavily on the proggier side of our sound”, says the band’s drummer and founding member Lille Gruber. “We still like to experiment, but on our new album, we wanted to get back to the raw slamming that our fans love about Psalms of the Moribund or Chapters of Repugnance”.

Watch below the official music video for lead single “The Odour of Sanctity”. “We wanted to keep some of the fidelity that’s associated with modern death metal”, the band says, “but Chronicles has more of the raw production style that stood out on Psalms and Chapters”.
