Separatist

Hailing from Hobart, Tasmania, Separatist is a five piece Death Metal outfit. Wielding their own impressively versatile style of playing, they've been described as Brutal Technical Death metal, Blackened-Death and everything in-between.

Separatist, having released their debut album "The Motionless Apocalypse" in May 2008, are currently working diligently at expanding their fan base around Australia and constructing a more prolific name for themselves within the metal industry.



Forming as a band in 2004, Separatist has been through many style and line-up changes; with roots in Nu-Metal/Metalcore, over the years they have transgressed past basic genres to become what they are today. Striking back with a new and improved line-up with the inclusion of Sam Dishington on vocals, Matt Carter on drums, Luke Ranson on bass and both James Brady and David Gilbert on both rhythm & lead guitars giving them what it takes to deliver acclaimed relentless and intense live shows.



Since emerging from their recording process they have supported major international bands such as; Skinless [USA], Malevolent Creation [USA], Dismember [SWE] and Krisiun [BRA] as well as renowned Australian acts Psycroptic, Alarum, The Berzerker, The Red Shore and I Killed the Prom Queen, they have also headlined Chaos A.C.T. IV festival in Canberra and secured a position on Adelaide’s renowned Against The Grain Festival in September 2009.



They have been a frequent feature in music magazines, radio stations and websites – with the inclusion of UK’s Metal Hammer magazine, Australia’s Blunt, BME, Sauce and Buzz magazines, Metalobsession.com, Canada’s Metalbite.com, 3RRR station, PBSFM and Adelaide’s Three D FM, and many more.



These accomplishments are only the initial steps on the road that lies ahead of Separatist in their musical career, with the support of their Melbourne booking agent Welkin Entertainment, and a pending contract with Adelaide’s Truth Inc. Records, there is nothing that will stand in the way of their metal onslaught.
