Cali Death Podcast kicked off 2021 by welcoming on the champions of modern death metal: Defeated Sanity, who assimilated Cali Death influence into their multifaceted and ultimately unique style. Together with drummer & founder Lille Gruber, bassist Jacob Schmidt, and vocalist Josh Welshman, we covered all kinds of topics, including:
- How Odious Mortem used to listen to 2004’s Prelude to the Tragedy on the way to practice;
- Wolfgang Teske’s guitar style and how it shines through on 2007’s Psalms of the Moribund;
- Recruiting A.J. Magaña for 2010’s Chapters of Repugnance;
- How the band’s songwriting changed with 2013’s Passages into Deformity;
- Bringing the progressive material from 2016’s Dharmata on the road;
- How The Police inspired the vocal patterns on 2020’s The Sanguinary Impetus;
and many more!
