Disembodied (band)


Disembodied is an American hardcore punk band, formed in 1995 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Originally featuring Aaron Weseman, Justin James Kane, Tara Johnson, Joel Andrew Johnson and Mario Diaz de León, the band split up in 1999 and reunited in 2008 and 2018, respectively.

History

In 1995, Disembodied released their debut EP, Existence in Suicide through Furface Records, which was accompanied by the debut single "The Confession" in the following year. The band signed to Ferret Music prior to releasing their full-length debut album, Diablerie in 1997. The band subsequently embarked a North American tour to promote their EP If God Only Knew the Rest Were Dead. Disembodied's final releases before the split-up were a split release with Brother's Keeper and Heretic album, both released in 1999.
Following the split up, bassist Tara Johnson and her husband Joel Andrew Johnson formed the metalcore band Martyr A.D.. Drummer Joel Andersen formed the band Devilinside with guitarist Tony 'Tubes' Byron.
Disembodied reunited in 2008, after Brian Peterson, the author of Burning Fight, brought the band members together for an interview for his book. The band was also joined by Martyr A.D. guitarist Charlie "Chazma" Johnson. Releasing the compilation and rarities album Psalms of Sheol in 2009, the band extensively toured in the following year. In 2010, bassist Johnson stated that the band haven't started writing new material yet, although they had enough riffs to build songs from. The band played their last show in June 2011, but reunited in 2017 for that year's This is Hardcore Fest. On November 29, 2019, Good Fight Music released Transfiguration, a discography compilation which compiled the bands two full-lengths as well as the If God Only Knew the Rest Were Dead EP and the band's tracks from their Oxymoron split with Brother's Keeper.
