Banisher was formed in Rzeszów, Poland, in 2005 by Hubert Więcek (DIETH, ex-Acid Drinkers live, ex-Decapitated). Delivering a dynamic blend of diverse modern death metal, their sound is both musically mature and technically advanced, marked by groovy, catchy riffing, intense drumming, and aggressive, furious vocals. Inspired by dreams and nightmares, their thought-provoking lyrics evoke an oneiric atmosphere filled with bewilderment, fright, despair, and anger.
The band’s powerful lineup features members and ex-members of renowned acts such as Decapitated, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Belphegor, Vital Remains, and Hate.
Their last album, Degrees of Isolation, was released by Selfmadegod Records in 2020. In 2023 and 2024, Banisher unveiled three new singles and brought them to life during the Aftermath Tour, performing 12 shows across Poland.
As they prepare to release their highly anticipated fifth album in 2025, Banisher is also gearing up for a series of special events to celebrate their 20th anniversary - marking two decades of pushing the boundaries of modern death metal.
