Separatist was a technical death metal band that formed in 2003 in Australia and is now a one-man project.

History

[edit]

Separatist began in 2003 in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia as a full band consisting of Sam "Disho" Dishington on vocals, James Brady and Dave Gilbert on guitars, Luke Ranson on bass and Matt Carter on drums. The band released a full-length album in 2008, titled The Motionless Apocalypse.[citation needed] In April 2011, the band split up.[citation needed] Dave Gilbert left the band, and James Brady was later removed, following personal disagreements with Disho. The band subsequently lost what would have been their second album to a computer malfunction and disbanded.[3] Disho left the band and the band broke up shortly afterwards.[4]

In 2014, Disho took up the mantle of Separatist but as a solo project, with him recording all vocals, bass, and guitar and programming all the drums. After Disho took control of the project, he released a double album, under the titles Closure and Motionless.[3] The albums' profits were donated to the A21 Campaign, a campaign to support the war against human trafficking.[3][5] The songs were all original compositions from their original second album.[6] Disho is currently working on a band called Departe, with a former member of the band, which is now signed to Season of Mist.[7]
