Jon Nödtveidt's dead!?!

Post by MS_39455 » Fri August 18th, 2006, 9:18 am

According to Brave Words and Bloody Knuckles this morning, Jon Nödtveidt has apparently killed himself. I can't find much else about it, so it must have just happened. I guess Reinkaos really was the "final chapter."

blabbermouth.net is where i found this

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 â€â€￾ "The Somberlain" (1993) and "Storm of the Light's Bane" (1995) â€â€￾ 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.

well...luckily i got to see dissection 3 times on their storm of the light's bane tour in berlin germany....once with dismember, once with satyricon and gorgoroth and once with cradle of filth, dimmu borgir and in flames...
it's a shame he killed himself - dissection was one of the best death/black metal bands in my opinion....jon will be missed :evil:

Indeed, Storm Of The Light's Bane is one of my favorite albums of all time in any genre.

Apparently he killed himself through ritualistic suicide, since he was found dead in a circle of candles with a bunch of satanic notes and books laying around opened. While that's one of the most fucking retarded things I've ever heard, and even though their last album was pretty bad, it sucks someone involved with one of the best albums I've ever heard is gone.
