Фото | E-mail | В оффлайне | IPDISSECTION 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. взял с ннм.ру

В оффлайне | IPда, походу, не шутка - вот инфа с оф_сайта группы:
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!
WWW | E-mail | В оффлайне | IPМда, зашёл сегодня в магаз, а там на всех таблойдах об этом. Сначала не придал этому значения, ну мало ли какая там рок-звязда померла. Но фотка показалась мне знакомой. Посмотрел на подпись и стало как-то не по себе...
З.Ы. Есть ещё слух, что Kvarfort из группы Shining тоже решил отправиться в долгое "путешествие". Ждём-с официального подтверждения...
В оффлайне | IP...если и жаль, то только по-человечески (хотя, самоубийц я и не уважаю)... как музыкант, думаю, Йон уже мало интересного представлял...
...и действительно интересно, что же толкнуло его на такой шаг? ...вроде бы излишней сопливостью и отсутствием идейности он не страдал... а его друзья-знакомые не делали пока никаких заявлений?
...на всякий случай... у нас есть аж целая тема о Dissection... думаю, обсуждение самой новости нужно перенести туда... "
