The Austrian death metal band Disastrous Murmur was formed in 1988 after Harald Bezdek left Disharmonic Orchestral. The following year their first demo tape was recorded. Line-up changes followed and shows in Germany, Sweden, Finland, Slovenia, Switzerland and Austria in 1990. In 1991 they signed a deal with the French label Osmose Productions and in 1992 their debut album was released. After a new album and some German concerts the band decided to split up in 1994.
