Dismember was originally formed as a trio in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1988 by David Blomqvist, Robert Sennebäck and Fred Estby.
Within 18 months they had released two demos called "Dismembered" and "Last Blasphemie", both of which became very popular.
The band has since then undergone several line-up changes.
In late 1989 the band broke up with Blomqvist and Estby joining the new upcoming band Carnage.
In early 1991 Carnage broke up when Michael Amott left to join the British Carcass.
The remaining Carnage members Estby, Matti Kärki and Blomqvist decided to resurrect Dismember.
The band's long-enduring logo was created by Nicke Andersson from Entombed.
According an old interview, the band had originally used multiple band names
amongst them Asphyxiator, Nicke Andersson came up with the name Dismemberizer,
but as the name didn't fit on the first demo, so the band shortened it to Dismember.
Dismember didirikan pada 1988 di Swedia sebagai Trio oleh; David Blomqvist, Robert Sennebäck and Fred Estby.
Band kemudian bergonta-ganti personil beberapa kali.
Pada akhir 1989, Band bubar karena David Blomqvist dan Fred Estby bergabung dengan band baru Carnage.
Pada awal 1991, Carnage bubar waktu Michael Ammot (Guitar) keluar dan bergabung dengan Carcass. Anggota yang tersisa, Fred Estby, Matti Kärki dan David Blomqvist memutuskan untuk membangun kembali Dismember.
Band Logo dibuat oleh Nicke Andersson (Entombed).
Pada sebuah interview dijelaskan, sebenarnya band pernah memakai berbagai macam nama, salah satunya Asphyxiator, Nicke Andersson kemudian menawarkan sebuah nama Dismemberizer, tetapi karena nama itu gak muat di sampul Demo pertama mereka, Band memendekkannya jadi Dismember.
