Dismember are a Swedish death metal band from Stockholm, formed in 1988 by Robert Sennebäck, David Blomqvist and Fred Estby. They are one of the originators of the Swedish death metal sound - built around the "chainsaw" guitar tone of the Boss HM-2 pedal and Tomas Skogsberg's Sunlight Studios - and are widely regarded as part of the genre's Swedish "big four" alongside Entombed, Grave and Unleashed. Their 1991 debut Like an Ever Flowing Stream remains a landmark of the genre. After disbanding in 2011, the band reunited in 2019 and has been active on the festival circuit since.
In an interview from June 2025, singer Matti Kärki confirmed that the band is working on material for a new album, with members composing individually in three different countries.
Dismember are confirmed for the South of Heaven Open Air festival in Maastricht (June 6, 2026), which is their only currently announced performance.
In April 2025, the band performed at the Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest in Philadelphia.
In August 2024, Dismember performed a special show at Brooklyn Monarch in New York, where they played their entire debut album Like an Ever Flowing Stream.
In August 2023, the Nuclear Blast label released reissues of the first three albums (Like an Ever Flowing Stream, Pieces, and Indecent & Obscene) on vinyl, CD, and cassette.
