DEFEATED SANITY was formed c.1994 as a project of Wolfgang Teske (guitar) and Lille Gruber (drums) with the intention to play the
most brutal and intense Death Metal possible. The band started playing shows in
1996 with the help of session musicians Jonas Gruber (bass) and Robert Colnik
(vocals). With this line-up the band also recorded 2 demos ‘Devoured By The
Black’ (1996) and ‘Withdrawn From Beauty’ (1998).
The next step was to find musicians able to play
the very complicated and difficult songs. Those guys were Tino Köhler (bass) and
Christian Münzner (guitar). In 2001 Czech label
GRODHAISN PRODUCTIONS released a split cd with POPPY SEED GRINDER with
vocals by Marcus Keller. Also recorded in 2001 was the ‘Collapsing
Human Failures’ contribution to the Split 7” EP with IMPERIOUS MALEVOLENCE,
which would be the last containing guitarist Christian Münzner (who then became
part of NECROPHAGIST).
In late 2004 the band released their
debut full length album, 'Prelude To The Tragedy' on UK label
GRINDETHIC RECORDS.
Defeated Sanity has now undergone further line-up changes with Jens Staschel
joining on vocals, Christian Kuehn on guitar and Jacob Schmidt filling in on
bass. In August 2006 the band entered Soundlodge Studios and recorded
their second album, 'Psalms Of The Moribund' which is due for release on
GRINDETHIC RECORDS in early 2007. The new album contains the bands most
crushing material yet. |
