Breakdown of Sanity
A high-energy, homegrown metalcore artist.
A seasoned D.I.Y. extreme metal unit based out of Bern, Switzerland, Breakdown of Sanity employ a punishing blend of breakdown-heavy metalcore, post-grunge, and nu-metal. Founded in 2007 by guitarist/songwriter Oliver Stingel and vocalist Carlo Knöpfel, the band soon added bass player César Gonin, drummer Thomas Rindlisbacher, and second guitarist Sandro Keusen to the mix, the latter of whom was replaced in 2009 by Christoph Gygax. The band issued their debut LP, The Last Sunset, independently in 2009, followed by [MIRRORS] (2011), Perception (2013), and Coexistence (2016). Between 2020 and 2024 they released 5 singles: Traces (2020), Black Smoke (2021) , Collapse (2023), Echoes of the Void (2024) and Perfect Enemy (2024). During 2024, drummer Tom had to leave the band due to health issues and was replaced by David Stutzer. Also in 2024, Carlo decided to step down at the end of the year to pursue different creative paths. After a successful singer audition, the band presented their new singer Kivi Brändle, with whom they released the first single "The Hunt" in spring 2025.
