i dont know if this is bullshit or not knowing blabbermouth


DISSECTION frontman Jon Nödtveidt has committed suicide, informed sources have told BLABBERMOUTH.NET. Nödtveidt's death was confirmed by the Swedish distributor Sound Pollution, whose staff has worked with DISSECTION throughout the band's career. A posting on the Sound Pollution web site, www.soundpollution.se, reads: "RIP Jon Nödtveidt 1975-2006. Condolences from Sound Pollution & Black Lodge."

Nödtveidt formed DISSECTION in 1989 and released two full-length albums with the group — "The Somberlain" (1993) and "Storm of the Light's Bane" (1995) — before he was convicted in Sweden of felony murder of 37-year-old homosexual Algerian Josef Ben Maddour in 1997. He was released from prison in 2004, at which point he restarted DISSECTION.

DISSECTION announced in May that it would split up imediately following its final performances in support of its recently released CD, "Reinkaos". The band was subsequently forced to cancel its two previously announced appearances in North America (Sept. 1 at the House of Blues in West Hollywood, CA and Sept. 6 at B.B. King Blues Club in New York City) after Nödtveidt was denied legal entry into the United States as a result of his conviction.

DISSECTION's most recent album, "Reinkaos", was released in May on The End Records.

If it's true, it's very sad news. Dissection was a great band, even though it was that guy's own stupidity that caused them to only have 2 albums.

storm of the lights bane FUCKIN RULED.


Quoted for truth. An amazing album.

[al885]

Cant really say i feel bad since he was a murderer

[25133WhooOoAH]

i mean thats some NEWS! haha , storm of the light's bane is the best black metal album ever......IMO

That's so fucked up , but its probably a rumor.....Just got out of jail and he kills himself? Fuck it, he was a murderer, no use for sobbing over this dipshit/genius : )

[locallounge]

Wah! Fuck em!


Maybe now he will get anally ***** by the gay dude he helped to kill.

[pointblankJ9]

What goes on in that scary land of meatballs and modular furniture? I just don't get it.

[Death Metal Moe]

I do want to say that I always liked Dissection because I felt they weren't stereotypical Black Metal. I felt they had much better production on their CD them most Black Metal bands and had a little of a Death Metal influence.

But my problem with Black Metal has always been the same. People taking themselves way too seriously, and sometimes putting image before the music.

If you have to fucking be in corpse paint all the time, wearing spikes and leather, acting like you're the hardest thing since diamonds, it's kinda stupid after awhile. I always liked Death Metal because the musicians take their music extremely seriously, but off stage they're just like you and me, even musicians that have been in the game for decades and seen the world.

This guy took his Black Metal image to an extreme, murdered a gay guy, and fucked his whole band's future up for it. Good job. We could have expected a few more albums from you, but all we get is silence.

If he did kill himself, I feel sad out of respect for the 2 great albums he put out, but it ends there.

yeah dissection were like melodic death/black metal so creative and original and beautiful at times........

And then could get brutal and dark in an instant.

They really were a very good Metal band, too bad image too precedent over music.

[25133WhooOoAH]

The main reason why i hate black metal, They take it as a Religion..Look at Mayhem fucking Scum of the earth right there.

Was that the guy that started composing operas while in prison, or was that a different Swede death metal guy who was in jail for killing someone?

Fucking Swedes...

[Death Metal Moe]

No idea about a Black Metal guy writing Operas in jail. I know this guy and one or two guys from the old Emperor line up burnt down churches up in that area of Europe. There is also the old Count Grishnak/Euronymous thing.

Too much fucking drama bro. Just play your fucking music for your fans.
