DEFEATED SANITY are hitting North America hard this fall. The German brutal death metal innovators have announced a 27-date tour running September 10 through October 10, 2026 — their first North American run since the release of "Chronicles of Lunacy" and the first time they'll be playing Canada since 2023. They join as direct support for REVOCATION, who are celebrating their 20th anniversary, with FUMING MOUTH and WEEPING also on the bill.
Fresh off a headline run through the United States last month, DEFEATED SANITY arrive at this tour with serious momentum. "Chronicles of Lunacy," their latest album on Season of Mist, has already made its mark on the Billboard charts — an unusual achievement for a band operating at the punishing end of the death metal spectrum, and a clear sign of the genre's growing audience.
Guitarist Vaughn Stoffey didn't mince words about the run ahead: "We are thrilled and humbled to join the legendary Revocation in celebrating their 20th anniversary this coming fall. We'll be playing a fresh set of DS classics for all of the true sickos across North America."
The tour opens September 10 in Worcester, Massachusetts and closes October 10 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, threading through Canada (Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Regina, Edmonton, Calgary, Kelowna, Vancouver) and across both US coasts. The routing covers major markets and underground venues alike — from Los Angeles's 1720 and Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg to smaller rooms like Asheville's Eulogy and Pittsburgh's Preserving Underground, where brutal death metal finds its most devoted crowds.
REVOCATION's 20th anniversary is the anchor of the package, and it's a significant one. The Boston-based technical death/thrash act have spent two decades relentlessly evolving their craft, and the celebration feels well-earned. DEFEATED SANITY, FUMING MOUTH, and WEEPING each bring their own distinct take on extreme metal to the lineup, making for a bill with genuine depth across the brutal underground spectrum.
