Separatist is a technical death metal initiative that began in 2003 in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. Originally formed as a full ensemble featuring Sam "Disho" Dishington on vocals, James Brady and Dave Gilbert on guitars, Luke Ranson handling bass, and Matt Carter on drums, they delivered their debut full-length record, The Motionless Apocalypse, in 2008. The group dissolved in April 2011 after experiencing lineup shifts and losing their second album due to a computer failure.
In 2014, Disho reactivated Separatist as a solo project, managing vocals, bass, guitar, and drum programming independently. He issued a double album comprising Closure and Motionless, which included new material derived from the previously lost second album. Revenue generated from these releases was directed to the A21 Campaign, an organization combating human trafficking. Additionally, Disho contributes to Departe, a band signed with Season of Mist that includes a former Separatist member.
