Wouldn't you like to know
I haven't seen this posted here so I fingered I'd inform the masses. According to Jon, after Dissection play these few select dates they have planned they will be breaking up and ending Dissection for good. For some details you can read about it here. I personally think this sucks ass but whatever. Jon is a nut anyways.
 
Well no one saw that coming...

With all the hype and right after the 'Rebirth of Dissection' he decides to end the band. But whatever, its Jon's decision. I wonder what hes going to do now that hes out of the music scene.

Im looking forward to the new DVD and live CD, as well as the reissues of The Somberlain and Storm of the Light's Bane though.
 
Jon Nödtveidt has to be one of the most ridiculous people in the metal scene ever.

"'Reinkaos' has been our only focus for such a long period of time and all the work and fanatic dedication put into the band by each member has been directed into this album. With 'Reinkaos' finally recorded and released I also realize that there is nothing left for me to do with DISSECTION. We have succeeded with our task to manifest, in essence, a truly Satanic record blessed by the dark gods and we have succeeded with our goal to manifest a truly Satanic band! My goal was to bring back DISSECTION with full force and to make it the Satanic unit I always wanted it to be and the tool for completing the personal black magical work that was started many years before. With 'Reinkaos' this has all been achieved and I’m very, very pleased with the result. It wouldn’t even be desirable for me to follow it up since everything that I ever wanted to express is in there. That's why we now have decided that this is the time to move on and where DISSECTION no longer will be an active band. So it's a great victory for me to move beyond this phase of personal becoming. With 'Reinkaos' we have reached the ending chapter. DISSECTION's work is done and this is our legacy."

Translation: "The new album sucks and no one is buying it (both the album and our ridiculous over-the-top Satanic meanderings) so we finally realize that we have completely lost it and give up."
 
Oh people are buying it all right. People are swallowing it hook, line & sinker, and I can almost promise you that this new record has sold far more than either Somberlain or SotLB did in the same amount of time
 
ending dissection is a smart decision. if he wants to end it all now,why fucking record a new fucking album ?
the band should have stayed dead and never to be resurrected.
 
Fuuuck... why did he bother returning with the band only to kill it off???

I understand he wanted to express himnself differently, and the new album is mediocre melo-death instead of the atmospheric Dissection of old, but if he was just going to end it he should never have returned at all... unfortunately the band is now tainted with a weak album to end their stellar career
 
I heard a new song that did not sound like them. The song was not awful regardless.

The Somberlain :rock:
