Disarthia is a metalcore band from Rancagua, O'Higgins, Chile, formed in 2012 and rooted in the chaotic, dissonant end of the genre with comparisons drawn to early 2000s acts like Converge and Curl Up and Die. Their known recorded output includes the self-released album "Aggressive Lies" (2013).

Their discography of gore-themed, old-school death metal spans albums from 'Rhapsodies in Red' through to 'Santo Subito' (2022), and they consider themselves direct contemporaries of the genre's first wave.
