Exclusive: DISSECTION Frontman JON NÖDTVEIDT Commits Suicide - Aug. 18, 2006
DISSECTION frontman Jon Nödtveidt has committed suicide, informed sources have told BLABBERMOUTH.NET. More details will be made available shortly.

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.

Found out about this when I logged onto Blabbermouth in the morning.
Dissection where one of the first extreme metal bands I really liked, and they did release two very important and influential albums. I can't help but think though, for someone who always talked about 'strength' it's kind of hypocritical that he went out this way. That's why it's such a suprise to me.

EDIT : Yeah, Reinkaos was a huge letdown for the fans, but Jon seemed confident about it. What really sucks is they cancelled their U.S. tour just recently, I was looking forward to seeing them. Looks like that's never gonna happen.

lmao yea i dont really care either

man that is shitty...and all those hating on the man are just jealous cause their band (if they exist) will never reach the level of dissection

Jealous? Hahahahahha. He's returned to dust in a most cowardly way. And as the good reverend would say, "Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life. The living being is only a species of the dead, and a very rare species."

As BLABBERMOUTH.NET exclusively reported earlier today, the surviving members of DISSECTION have now officially confirmed the death of the band's mainman, Jon Nödtveidt. The group's statement on the matter reads as follows:

"As rumours have started to spread we feel obliged to confirm Jon Nödtveidt's death.

"Jon Nödtveidt was a man who lived his life according to his convictions and True Will. A couple of days ago he chose to end his life by his own hands. As a true Satanist he led his life in the way he wanted and ended it when he felt that he had fulfilled his self-created destiny. Not everyone will have understanding or acceptance for his personal path in this life and beyond, but all must respect his choice.

"Those of us who have met him in his last days can assure that he was more focussed, happier and stronger than ever. It is our full conviction that he left this world of lies with a scornful laughter, knowing that he had fulfilled everything that he had set up for himself to accomplish. The empty space that he leaves behind will be filled with the dark essence that he manifested through his life and black-magical work. His legacy and Luciferian Fire will live on through those few who truly knew him and appreciated his work for what it really was and still is. As our brother's goal in life and death never was to 'Rest in Peace', we will instead wish him victories in all battles to come, until the Acosmic Destiny has been fulfilled.

"For the glory of the Dark Gods and the Wrathful Chaos! 218"


LOL

HE LEFT WITH SCORNFUL LAUGHTER AT TEH WORLD OF LIES

haha
but it was much better when he killed himself before murdering this algerian.
nazi satanist asshole.
