DEFEATED SANITY - Chronicles of Lunacy [BLACK LP]

Black vinyl in gatefold sleeve.

About the album

"Chronicles of Lunacy" by Defeated Sanity is a visceral journey back to the brutal origins of death metal, infused with the band's signature blend of technical precision and chaotic jazz influences. Throughout its composition, the album treads a fine line between intellectually stimulating arrangements and raw, neck-snapping intensity. The record opens with "Amputationsdrang," setting a relentless pace that continues throughout the album. The lead single, "The Odour of Sanctity," showcases founding member Lille Gruber's masterful drumming as he effortlessly transitions between tempos, while Josh Welshman's guttural growls explore themes of alienation and hatred.

Recorded at Thousand Cave Studios with producer Colin Marston, the album seeks to recapture the raw energy of past releases like "Psalms of the Moribund." New guitarist Vaughn Stoffey injects fresh dynamics into tracks like "Accelerating The Rot," which stands as one of the fastest pieces in their repertoire. Lyrically, "Chronicles of Lunacy" delves into delusional thinking and its warping effects on the mind, making it a compelling listen for fans seeking both brutality and depth. With artwork by Jon Zig, this album is a must-have for aficionados of bands like Cannibal Corpse and Suffocation.
