Asunder was a notable funeral doom/death metal band that formed in 1998 in Oakland, California. Their dummer/vocalist, Dino Sommese, has also been a member of Ghoul, and Dystopia, as well as being a session musician for Wolves in the Throne Room.[1] Guitarist John Gossard was also the guitarist and vocalist of Bay Area black metal band Weakling, as well as another band entitled The Gault.[2] Salvador Raya currently plays for the band Laudanum[3]
In 2010, the band announced that it had split in November 2009. In the wake of the band's demise, John Gossard has formed a new black metal band, Dispirit. The fate of the band's final work, a collaboration with Corrupted, is unknown, although a live version recorded by a radio station has surfaced on the Internet.
