Disown is a four-piece Industrial rock band originally from Cleveland, Ohio formed in 2000.
Along with guitar riffs and electronic synths similar to Nine Inch Nails or Linkin Park, Disown adds an arrangement of melodic, emotional lyrics similar to A Perfect Circle or Tool.
Disown has shared the stage with HIM, Atreyu, Lacuna Coil, Static-X, Orgy, Godhead, Crossbreed, Mushroomhead, Trust Company, KMFDM and The Apex Theory.
The original lineup consisted of Joe Rover on vocals and guitar, Mitch Langford on guitar and sequencing, Jesse Rohrer on bass, and Gerry Lakarosky on drums.
In 2004, Disown appeared in an article of the Daily Kent Stater written by Mark Bodkin[1] documenting the recording process of their first release "Angels and Atheists." Later that same year, they traveled to the Recording Workshop in Chillicothe, Ohio to demo three songs with Eric Rickey that would later appear on "Requiem of One." That same year, Disown replaced drummer, Gerry Lakarosky with Scott Kaczmarek.
In 2005, Disown performed on the OzzFest 2004 tour performing in front of more than 30,000 people.
In 2005, the band secured business with Cleopatra Records and their cover of Depeche Mode's, "Policy of Truth" was featured on "Goth Electro (Tribute To Depeche Mode)".
In 2006, Disown began their east coast tour of 13 states and 39 cities. The band acquired new bassist, Krystle Carter and guitarist Mikal. The band continued to open for several huge national acts. As well, Disown was named Top 20 best artist on Myspace and selected for a chance to place a track on Vivendi/Universal's upcoming PC game, Scarface: The World Is Yours.
In 2007, Joe Rover began working on Disown's 3rd full-length album entitled "Grave New World". Disown received sponsorship by Sam Ash Music and endorsements from Halo Guitars. The band was also nominated for Best Goth/Industrial Act three years in a row by the Cleveland Free Times.
In 2008, tragedy struck on March 4, as their guitarist, Mikal, was involved in a fatal car accident in Michigan, and died on March 6, 2008. Mikal's funeral was held on March 11. The band members refused to comment on the situation. Since then, the band has been under the radar.
In 2010, the band's music, specifically the track Medicinal, was set to appear as one of the tracks shipped with APB by Realtime Worlds. It was unclear whether this track was handpicked by the developers or submitted by the band via the Artist Program.[2][3]
