DISSECTION

The band's first song ever written was "Inhumanity Deformed", a Napalm Death-inspired grindcore piece, but soon they developed their own melancholic and atmospheric style of death metal. The band first disbanded due to Jon Nödtveidt's accomplice to a murder conviction. He was serving time in prison from 1997 until early 2004, and then reactivated the band. Jon Nödtveidt (aged 31) shot and killed himself on August 13th, 2006. Swedish police found him in his apartment, inside a circle of lit candles. It is believed that he killed himself because he felt he had achieved all that he could/was meant to in this life. According to some who knew him, this was probably planned ever since he got out of jail.
