Overview

It all started way back in 1988 when Fred Estby and David Blomqvist started Dismember. After several line-up changes, joining members with Carnage, and even doing an album under the monicker Carnage (featuring Dismember-songs) released by Earache Records in 1991, Fred, David and Carnage-vocalist Matti Kärki resurrect Dismember. With members from Unleashed and Carbonized joining in Dismember scores a record-deal with Nuclear Blast based on the legendary “Reborn in Blasphemy” demo. In May 1991 “Like an Ever Flowing Stream” is released and the album explodes into the expanding Death Metal scene like a big bomb! June 1991… first European tour with Morbid Angel, 1991 Rock Hard X-Mass festivals with Death, Cannibal Corpse, Napalm Death and Pestilence. March 1992… “Pieces” EP, June 1992… tour with Napalm Death and Obituary. July 1992… obscenity trial in Norfolk, UK. More albums to follow, such as “Indecent & Obscene” and “Massive Killing Capacity”, each seen as classics. More touring with Meshuggah, Hypocrisy and Amorphis. At the end of the 90’s Dismember still releases excellent albums, but due to Death Metal being a bit “dead” they fall back into the underground a bit more again. 1999 shows the last sign of life with the album “Hate Campaign”. Many people thought it was their swansong, but now it’s 2004: Dismember is back!
