Separatist was a technical death metal band that formed in 2003 in Australia and is now a one-man project.
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.
[citation needed] Dave Gilbert left the band, and James Brady was later removed, following personal disagreements with Disho.
[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.
