Monarch Of The Sleeping Marches
DisincarnatePart of the underground d**h metal movement of the early '90s, Disincarnate was led by one of the genre's best-known guitarists, James Murphy, who has also lent his six-string talents to such other outfits as d**h, Obituary, Testament, Konkhra, and Cancer, among others. Joining Murphy in the lineup was Bryan Cegon on vocals, Jason Carman on rhythm guitar, and Tommy Viator on drums (Murphy doubled as the band's ba**ist, as well). The band only issued a lone album during their existence, 1993's Dreams of the Carrion Kind (on the Roadrunner Records label), and while the lyrics/subject matter were your standard grizzly d**h metal fare (sample song titles include "Beyond the Flesh," "Soul Erosion," and "Deadspawn"), some of the band's music detoured into prog metal. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
