Metal band Defeated Sanity have released a playthrough for the song “Accelerating The Rot” by drummer Lile Gruber, showing the band co-founder’s singular genius. It was filmed for Sick Drummer Magazine. The song is the latest single from their upcoming album Chronicles of Lunacy which arrives November 22nd, 2024.
Black Dahlia Murder drummer Alan Cassidy told Loudwire the following about Gruber:
Lile’s drumming can be described by his band’s appropriately chosen name. 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.
“Accelerating the Rot” is also one of the fastest songs in the band’s history.
To celebrate Chronicles of Lunacy, Defeated Sanity are embarking on their first headlining tour of Europe since 2018. They’ll be performing songs off their new album alongside Wisconsin’s Putrid Pile and To Violently Vomit Forth, a tribute to Disgorge that features current and former members of the BDM band.
Iniquitous Savagery, Strangle Wire, Asylum and Embryonic Devourment round out the two legs of the bill.
