Formed in the early Nineties by the father-son team of Wolfgang Teske and Lille Gruberand, Defeated Sanity began as a fairly typical brutal death metal act, albeit with a higher level of complexity than most. Now an international act with members spread across Europe and the US, the band have become one of the most influential and respected figures in technical death metal.

I spoke with bassist Jacob Schmidt about how technicality creates opportunities for originality, and his approach to playing bass for death metal. We also discussed why the band flew to New York to record their latest album Chronicles of Lunacy with Colin Marston, and whether this is the fastest album the band has recorded.

My thanks again to Jacob for speaking with me, and to you for listening.
