Dismember

A death metal band from Stockholm, Sweden, formed in April 1988 (initially as Dismemberizer) by David Blomqvist (guitar), Robert Sennebäck (vocals, bass, guitar) and Fred Estby (drums). Dismember recorded two demo tapes, "Dismembered" in 1988 and "Last Blasphemies" in 1989, after which the band split up as Estby joined Carnage and Blomqvist joined Entombed. After Carnage disbanded Estby, Blomqvist and Kärki reformed Dismember and recorded the "Reborn in Blasphemy" demo in 1991. Then Sennebäck came back and bass player Richard Cabeza joined the band. They were signed to Nuclear Blast and released the debut full-length"Like an Ever Flowing Stream" later in 1991. This was followed by "Indecent And Obscene" in 1993 and "Massive Killing Capacity" in 1995. After the release of "Death Metal" (1997) Magnus Sahlgren replaced Sennebäck on guitar. Cabeza left the band before the recording of "Hate Campaign" (1999), which featured Sharlee D'Angelo on bass. Cabeza however came back in 2000, but left again after "Where Ironcrosses Grow" was released in 2004. For a while the band operated with one guitarist as Sahlgren left in 2003 and wasn't replaced until 2005 when Martin Persson joined. Founding member Fred Estby left the band in 2007 and was replaced by Thomas Daun. Band's last album to date, "Dismember", was released in 2008. On October 16th 2011 Dismember announced that they had disbanded. In January 2019 the band announced the comeback of the original line-up.
