Few bands in the halls of metal have marched to a beat that’s more brazen, brutal and bizarre than Defeated Sanity. Thirty years after their flaming, cataclysmic demo, the underground legends have repeatedly slammed death metal on its deformed skull. Each member is a certified lunatic when it comes to breaking brains with their fine-tuned instruments, but the band’s punishing headiness is led by drummer Lile Gruber, their fleet-footed co-founder and singular mastermind.
“Lile’s drumming can be described by his band’s appropriately chosen name”, Black Dahlia Murder drummer Alan Cassidy told Loudwire. “When you hear one of their songs for the first time you quickly become mentally exhausted with all the twists and turns of his extremely technical and groove-oriented playing”.
Whether he’s flaying his snare, pinging between cymbals, pounding out blast beats or riding a colossal groove, Lile ensures that Defeated Sanity’s new album flows like a never-ending stream of filth. To gear up for Chronicles of Lunacy, Sick Drummer are premiering a new drum playthrough of the band’s latest single. It’s still plenty twisted, but “Accelerating the Rot” now stands as one of the fastest songs in their torrid history.
Watch Lile rip through “Accelerating the Rot” for Sick Drummer.
Chronicles of Lunacy comes out November 22 on Season of Mist.
