Dissolution is based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and was formed in late 2003 by Ryan Forsyth and Dennis Mott, with Graeme Martin joining in mid-2004. After putting together a demo and a setlist, the three started playing a number of suprisingly successful shows with a drum machine (affectionately dubbed Robot Drummer), including an opening slot for Quebec underground heroes Quo Vadis and Augury. In mid-2005, Scott Patterson, also of Brandon, Manitoba-based instrumental metalcore band Beyond Betrayal moved to Winnipeg, and joined Dissolution, to solidify the lineup. In mid-2007, Dissolution released their long in-the-works debut LP "Dying. Dead. Undead." and soon after parted ways with Graeme Martin. Jean-Louis Wittinger (formerly of Fuck The Facts and currently of local grindcore act Putrescence) was recruited in late-2007 to handle bass duties. In mid-2008, Dissolution began writing the follow-up to 2007's "Dying. Dead. Undead.", and in the process of doing so released a 3-song demo. Due to scheduling conflicts, Jean-Louis Wittinger had to part ways with Dissolution in Early 2009. With the addition of Matt Stanicky to fill the bass position in mid-2009, Dissolution began work on their sophomore album, Dirt Skies, which was released August 10th, 2011.
