Part of the underground death 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 Death, 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 bassist, 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 death 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
