4Disgorge are an American Brutal DeathMetal band hailing from California. However, they were important in the scene in that they were (arguably) pioneers in the sub-SubGenre known as Slam Death Metal due to the gurgled/low pig-squealed vocals and rhythms over leads, with the latter being almost non-existent.
5
6Originally starting off as a three piece, they eventually evolved into a four piece, then a five piece, with [[IAmTheBand Ricky]] being the only member playing in all albums.
7
8They split up in 2006, reasons unexplained. It wasn't sure of what had happened to the band until they announced their reunion in 2011, with a new vocalist and bassist. They are currently working on a new album, entitled ''Hymns of the Fallen'', although they are still having issues getting the album out.

36!! Tropes that apply to Disgorge:
37* [[DeathMetal Brutal Death Metal]]: Occasionally borders on slam, moreso on earlier albums.
38* DarkerAndEdgier: When ''Cranial Impalement'' was recorded in 1995 and 1996, it was easily among the harshest and most intense (if not ''the'' most intense) death metal to date.
39* {{Gorn}}: Of the anti-religious type
40* IAmTheBand: Ricky Myers
41* IndecipherableLyrics: Matti Way is a particularly notorious offender of this with his extremely low-pitched gurgles
42* LeadBassist: Marlin was a Type C and arguable Type A while Bryan Ugartechea was a type B. Soira as of late has been a type A in his work with Music/BrokenHope.
43* LeadDrummer: Myers is essentially the band (though Sanchez is the main writer), in addition to being one of the finer drummers.
44* MinisculeRocking: "Compost Devourment"
45* NewSoundAlbum:
46** ''She Lay Gutted'' dropped some of the more obvious slam present in their debut album and focused more on a disturbing sound.
47** ''Consume The Forsaken'' was faster and brought some of the slam influences back.
48** ''Parallels of Infinite Torture'' greatly increased the technical musicianship and was [[EpicRocking overall much longer.]]
49* NobodyLovesTheBassist: Zig-Zagged. Marlin was a type A LeadBassist while Ugarthechea was a type B. After both of them, none of the bassists seemed to get any recognition.
50* OneSteveLimit: Averted with the two Diegos (Sanchez and Soria).
51* RevolvingDoorBand: They really can't seem to keep a vocalist and a bassist.
52* SpecialGuest: Erik Lindmark of Deeds of Flesh did backing vocals on ''She Lay Gutted''.
53** Plenty of the members, past and present have been one, with Way being one for Music/{{Abnormality}} while Ochoa has been this for Cerebral Bore.
54** Ricky was the touring vocalist for Music/{{Suffocation}} from 2014 to 2016, ducked out in 2017, and returned to the spot in 2018.
55* TheBandMinusTheFace: Although Myers is technically in charge of Disgorge, Sanchez was at one point missing from the band post-reunion. Let's just say that fans weren't happy.
56* {{Troll}}: Ed uploaded what appeared to be a preproduction single for the upcoming album...only for the video to be a rick-roll.
57* UncommonTime: Always present in their music, but it's all over the place in Parallels, to the point where it almost reaches Progressive/Technical Death Metal complicated.
58* VoiceOfTheLegion: Lindmark's screams on ''She Lay Gutted'' give this vibe.
