Formed in the spring of 2005, Dissentient is epic death metal from Canada's capital! Phill Campbell has been writing metal since 2002 in various projects of his own. In 2002-2003 he did a solo release called "Stygian Fortress". It was a more black metal approach. In 2004 he started adding more of a death metal feel to things and recorded 2 demos. In the start of 2005 Phill contacted James Mace (of Tribunal at the time, and previously Deamon) to talk about starting a band. The two jammed for about 6 or 7 months before bringing other members. By the end of 2005 the full lineup was complete: Phill Campbell - Guitar/Vocals, James Mace - Drums, Igor Grebenkov - Guitar, and Michelle Gotch (Nihility)- Bass. They did a couple local shows that were well recieved. In July-August of 2006 Phill and James recorded 11 songs. Phill took the duties of recording all the guitars, bass, vocals, and some synth while James played drums, and synth and was responsible for the mixing and mastering of the upcoming release. Then Phill decided to move to Calgary, AB and the band was on hiatus. It didnt last long...
In the spring of 2007 Phill returned to Ottawa and continued Dissentient. A new bassist joined at that time named Shawn Morisette.
After a couple more shows in the summer, James informed everyone that he was moving to Toronto. The songs that were recorded were not finished the mixing process, so Dissentient independantly released a 7 song demo.
Dissentient currently has a new drummer and long term friend (Dan Mollema). Dissentient is currently looking for shows!
