Biography

Disbelief (sometimes decapitalized to "disbelief") is a German death metal band from Hesse. Their music has melancholic tendencies and is influenced by other genres, including sludge metal and doom metal.

History

The band was formed in 1990, but did not have a solid line-up for several years. They began with Karsten Jäger, Oliver Lenz, and drummer Markus Gnap, with guitarist/bassist Denis Musiol joining later. They released their first demo the following year. After two more demo tapes, five years, and the replacement of Gnap and Musiol with Tommy Fritsch, Jochen Trunk, and Kai Bergerin, they released their self-titled album in 1997.

A year later, they replaced Fritsch with Jan-Dirk Löffler and signed a new contract with Massacre Records. After a few more albums, they signed to Nuclear Blast, which distributed their 2004 record, Spreading the Rage, to North America and helped them gain a wider fanbase. After reinstating Fritsch into the band, they released 66Sick in 2005, also in North America. Lenz left the band in late 2006 and Jonas Khalil replaced him.
