“Chronicles of Lunacy is 2024’s most vivid reminder of why I love death metal.” — Angry Metal Guy
“Defeated Sanity is one of the best in the game of absolute top-tier extremity.” – Metal Injection
Season of Mist is proud to announce that brutal death metal pioneers DEFEATED SANITY will embark on their 2025 European Tour this summer, bringing their critically acclaimed album Chronicles of Lunacy to stages across the continent!
From their devastatingly technical precision to their stomach-turning slams, DEFEATED SANITY have built a global reputation for their unmatched live ferocity. After reclaiming their throne with Chronicles of Lunacy — a record hailed by Loudwire, Angry Metal Guy, and MetalSucks alike — the Berlin-based band is ready to unleash sheer chaos with a 20-date trek that will carve a path of destruction across Europe.
Comprised of drummer Lille Gruber, bassist Jacob Schmidt, vocalist Josh Welshman, and guitarist Vaughn Stoffey, Defeated Sanity continue to shred expectations. Their shows are a masterclass in extremity, balancing jazz-infused chaos with old-school brutality.
Expect whiplash-inducing performances of new classics like “The Odour of Sanctity,” “Temporal Disintegration,” and “Accelerating the Rot,” and witness the unstoppable force that Chronicles of Lunacy has become.
