Disma is an American death metal band originally founded in 2005. The recording lineup was formed in 2007/2008

History
Disma was founded in the fall of 2005 by Ex- Incantation, Body of Christ guitarist Bill Venner. After compiling many riffs and music ideas with local friends, it was finally time to complete the band with a proper lineup. Bill then contacted old friend Daryl Kahan to see if he would be interested in joining and creating music. After Funebrarum recorded its album The Sleep of Morbid Dreams in 2007, the band took a break which lasted much longer than guitarist Daryl Kahan expected. Frustrated with the situation he agreed to join with his old friend, guitarist Bill Venner. After Venner and Kahan had a few song ideas down, they started rehearsing with Funebrarum's drummer Shawn Eldridge. With this line-up they wrote "Lost in the Burial Fog", "Chaos Apparition" and "Vault of Membros". Soon after, bassist Randi Stokes was asked to join the band. Disma continued as a four-piece for several months refining the songs that became the demo. Craig Pillard, an old friend of ours saw a rehearsal video of Disma at Randi's house and immediately asked to join the band on vocals.
