Prelude to the Tragedy - that breakdown is classic. I think that breakdown/song is one of the last Wolfgang contributed to before his passing |
| 39 |  | Defeated Sanity
Psalms of the Moribund
Prelude to the Tragedy - this song appears on two full lengths so ill just put them here together. this version is better |
| 38 | | Defeated Sanity
Disposal Of The Dead // Dharmata
The Mesmerizing Light - the whole Dhmarta side was better than anyone thought it would be, and this is my favorite song off that side. this is absolutely peak for all lovers of Watchtower and Atheist |
| 37 | | Defeated Sanity
Chapters of Repugnance
Conceived Through Savagery - yo what now 🧐 |

Chapters of Repugnance
Coerced into Adultery |
| 32 | | Defeated Sanity
Chronicles of Lunacy
Accelerating the Rot |
| 31 | | Defeated Sanity
Prelude to the Tragedy
Liquifying Cerebral Hemispheres - it goes without saying most of Defeated Sanity’s discography eclipses this album. but this album stands on its own with a unique feel to it. sometimes I’d rather jam this album over Passages and Disposal.. its also just cool to hear the framework for the distinct sound they’d refine over the next couple of decades. my favorite, and probably the best song on Prelude to the Tragedy. |
| 30 | | Defeated Sanity
Disposal Of The Dead // Dharmata
Into the Soil - one of their biggest crowd pleasers that is a staple at every live show— or at least that I’ve been to, so three times.. PLAY SOMETHING ELSE. (we’re not seeing the album again until rank 11 wows) |
| 29 | | Defeated Sanity
The Sanguinary Impetus
Dislimbing the Ostracized |
| 28 | | Defeated Sanity
Psalms of the Moribund
Stoned then Defiled - gets you in the mood for one the best bdm albums of all time (spoiler hehe) |
| 27 | | Defeated Sanity
The Sanguinary Impetus
Driveling Purification - I love how this starts with that fade-in and then that solo into the gravity blast! and uhh that Christmas melody! (that’s not intentional right?) but the reason it isn’t higher imo is because it’s kind of uncharacteristically flashy or is that just me? |
| 26 | | Defeated Sanity
Chapters of Repugnance
Calculated Barbarity |
| 25 | | Defeated Sanity
Passages Into Deformity
Naraka - ok getting pretty serious now with this barely at 25.. this track is one of their catchiest ever and will always have a special place in my heart cos I discovered this band around when this album was released and this was the first song I latched onto |
| 24 | | Defeated Sanity
Chapters of Repugnance
Blissfully Exsanguinated - one of the only songs bookended by samples but FUCK does this song go crazy, a real sleeper jam that’s short and sweet |
| 23 | | Defeated Sanity
Chronicles of Lunacy
A Patriarchy Perverse - this song feels like the closest they’ve gotten to manifesting that Engulfed in Excruciation energy with all the brutal breakdowns and jumpdafuckup moments. catch me shouting ‘THE ONLY WAY I COULD HAVE THOSE GIRLS— WAS TO KILL THEM’ every time |
| 22 | | Defeated Sanity
Psalms of the Moribund
Artifacts of Desolation |
| 21 | | Defeated Sanity
Chronicles of Lunacy
Condemned to Vascular Famine - ooo yea they’re having lots of fun with this one |
| 20 | | Defeated Sanity
Psalms of the Moribund
Butchered Identity |
| 19 | | Defeated Sanity
The Sanguinary Impetus
Propelled into Sacrilege |
| 18 | | Defeated Sanity
Psalms of the Moribund
Fatal Self Inflicted Disfigurement - these riffs are pure genius |
| 17 | | Defeated Sanity
Passages Into Deformity
Martyrium - im surprised this absolute banger didn’t even crack the top 15. this song is a hotpot of everything Passages has to offer and some. hear me out: this album is DS’s Obscura, and I mean it in the way where both releases are the bands most popular and when the metal zeitgeist noticed they were doing something ‘weird’/different. getting a lot of feet in the door with these albums for sure, but at the same time, real fans know that they have like three better albums in their respective discographies (that’s where the similarities end, chill) |
| 16 | | Defeated Sanity
Psalms of the Moribund
Arousal Through Punishment - that stop-start introduction rhythm stays stuck in my head and those slide-y chords at the end ;__; |
| 15 | | Defeated Sanity
The Sanguinary Impetus
Entity Dissolving Entity |
| 14 | | Defeated Sanity
Chapters of Repugnance
Lurid Assimilation - the second half of this song is just an extended breakdown where the song feels like it’s actually breaking apart, dissembling |
| 13 | | Defeated Sanity
Passages Into Deformity
Perspectives - and there we go, the final song from Passages to be included didn’t quite make the top 10. unassuming within the song list initially, this song really snuck up on me and once it grabbed hold it never let go, a jam that seasoned listeners of DS will appreciate |
| 12 | | Defeated Sanity
Chronicles of Lunacy
The Odour of Sanctity - professionals doing what they’re good at |
| 11 | | Defeated Sanity
Disposal Of The Dead // Dharmata
Consuming Grief - hmm, this is where Disposal of the Dead is bowing out of this ranking, just short of the top 10. this is easily my go-to song when I’m in the mood for DS with this production work. murky and calculated |
| 10 | | Defeated Sanity
Chronicles of Lunacy
Extrinsically Enraged - no nonsense all business DS, the whole song is densely packed with brutal riffs but that bit at 2:40 is absolutely wicked |
| 9 | | Defeated Sanity
Chapters of Repugnance
Consumed by Repugnance - their best intro song that’s an actual song if that makes any sense. that drum break into the main riff again but h a r d e r with the added pinch harmonics towards the end goes crazy |
| 8 | | Defeated Sanity
Chronicles of Lunacy
Hereditary Violated - are you fucking kidding me?? that infectiously catchy snare and it being one of the heavier songs on this album. this is their victory lap, they’re the best in the game and they’re playing here like they know it too |
| 7 | | Defeated Sanity
Chapters of Repugnance
Engulfed in Excruciation - this is probably one of their most well known songs, and for good reason. that transition to the slam riffing at 0:21 is so orgasmic, and that ending breakdown. the stuff of legends |
| 6 | | Defeated Sanity
Chronicles of Lunacy
Temporal Disintegration - this is my favorite song off of this album, it’s so uniquely DS and it’s one of their longer songs that just keeps giving and giving. I wouldn’t call this ‘mid-paced’ per se but it has a lot of groove and it’s not as urgent, a bit more reserved in a way I can’t quite articulate. when I think Chronicles this is the song that comes to mind first |
| 5 | | Defeated Sanity
Chapters of Repugnance
Salacious Affinity - oof this song is amazing, that main chorus riff is sooooo brutal and then that snare-roll into that breakdown at the end ‘IN TERRORrrrrrr’ *chefs kiss* |
| 4 | | Defeated Sanity
Psalms of the Moribund
Engorged with Humiliation - this is arguably DS’s most violent song compositionally and lyrically. they’re firing on all cylinders here and that little solo back into the blasting never fails to give me goose-bumps. the mid section is insanely catchy too, one of the best bdm songs evr |
| 3 | | Defeated Sanity
The Sanguinary Impetus
Insectia Incendium - this album’s themes are about the scary and unforgiving ways nature and animals have evolved to survive. this is far and away my favorite song on The Sanguinary Impetus, it’s so otherworldly. no one else is making brutal death metal like this. in a league of their own |
| 2 | | Defeated Sanity
Psalms of the Moribund
Hideously Disembodied - the main riff/chorus is god-like. the kind of riffs that can make someone a fan for life. the ending breakdown is one for the ages too. as sick as they get |
| 1 | | Defeated Sanity
Psalms of the Moribund
Psalms of the Moribund - ok so when I first thought of making this list I already knew what 1 was going to be honestly but it was interesting seeing what would get close to the top. theres no other song that has received more plays from me by them, this track is absolute perfection. that break a minute and half back into the main riff is unreal, and the build up to the crescendo breakdown at the end is just nutty too. it’s absolutely killer stuff and I couldn’t ask for more in DS song, this is Defeated Sanity at their most direct and violent. the best song and their best album imo. ill say it again, perfection.
