BACTERIA (pre- DISEMBOWELMENT) ´´Septical Uproar´´ Demo 1989

DISEMBOWELMENT formed in Melbourne, Australia in November 1989 out of the ashes of two-piece band BACTERIA. Featuring Renatao Gallina on guitar and vocals, Paul Mazziotta on drums, and the session help of Dean Ruprich (from the band NECROTOMY) on bass, the band released its first demo "Mourning September" in September 1990
In 1991 Jason Kells joined the band on lead guitar. The song "Extracted Nails" was recorded in April 1991 at Double Tea Studios for a compilation on the German label 'Mangled Beyond Recognition'. The compilation featured THERION, GOD MACABRE, ROTTREVORE, CADAVER, CREMATORY, PAN.THY.MONIUM, CENOTAPH, and HYDR HYDR
On 3-4 August 1991 the band went back to Double Tea studios to record their 2nd demo, "Deep Sensory Perception Into Aural Fate". The demo sparked the interest of Relapse Records, who signed them and released the "Dusk" EP in 1992 (it was an edited version of the demo, which omitted the linking piece of music between the two tracks). It also included the first recorded version of "Cerulean Transience Of All My Imagined Shores", a third track not featured on the earlier demo.

At the end of 1991 Matthew Skarajew (ex SANCTUM, lead guitar) had joined the group on bass, and they recorded "Cerulean Transience Of All My Imagined Shores" the following year. In 1993 DISEMBOWELMENT released their debut studio album, "Transcendence Into The Peripheral". DISEMBOWELMENT split up after the album's release. Prior to breaking up, they had mentioned the possibility of a one-off live show that "would be an event, a unique concert". However it never happened. At the time they had rehearsed and prepared five cover versions for a potential EP. This featured Mazziotta on drums, Skarajew on guitars, and Gallina on vocals.

Gallina and Skarajew continued working together in the ethno-ambient act, TRIAL OF THE BOW, which Skarajew had initiated during his time in DISEMBOWELMENT. The group released an EP, "Ornamentation", and an album, "Rite of Passage". From 2004 Skarajew and Mazziotta formed a grind band called PULGAR. A related band, 'd.USK', formed in 2010 with original DISEMBOWELMENT members Skarajew and Mazziotta, and played some of their former group's material as a live band. In late 2011 d.USK split and re-emerged under the name INVERLOCH.
