History

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]
