well BW&BK has "Swedish sources" to confirm it
probably the biggest metal record store in stockholm, sound pollution, sent out an e-mail today to people on their mailing list stating

"Jon Nödtveidt 1975-2006
Kondoleanser från
Sound Pollution & Black Lodge"

sound pollution has ties with black lodge, who re-released "the somberlain"
 
One day, one friend asked another,
"How is it that you are always so happy?
You have so much energy,
and you never seem to get down."


With her eyes smiling, she said,
"I know the Secret!"
"What secret is that?"
To which she replied,
"I'll tell you all about it,
but you have to promise to
share the Secret with others."


"The Secret is this:
I have learned there is little I can do
in my life that will make me truly happy.
I must depend on God to make
me happy and to meet my needs.
When a need arises in my life,
I have to trust God to supply
according to HIS riches.
I have learned most of the time
I don't need half of what I think I do.
He has never let me down.
Since I learned that 'Secret,' I am happy."


The questioner's first thought was,
"That's too simple!"
But upon reflecting over her own life
she recalled how she thought a bigger house
would make her happy, but it didn't!
She thought a better paying job
would make her happy, but it hadn't.
When did she realize her greatest happiness?
Sitting on the floor with her grandchildren,
playing games, eating pizza or reading a story,
a simple gift from God.


Now you know it too!
We can't depend on people to make us happy.
Only GOD in His infinite wisdom can do that.
Trust HIM!
And now I pass the Secret on to you!
So once you get it, what will you do?


YOU have to tell someone the Secret, too!
That GOD in His wisdom will take care of YOU!
But it's not really a secret...
We just have to believe it and do it...
Really trust God!
 
While I've been a Dissection fan for many years, my only reaction to this is "ummm... buh?"
 
The news means nothing in such a shithole, but the fact that they've shut the Dissection-forum...

EDIT - I love when people say the guy was an asshole, but I would have loved it even more, if they would have confort Jon and said it directly to him.

why, was he some kind of badass I should be afraid of?

just my opinion, man, that's all.

When I met him, he seemed to be very strong-minded and firm. Usually people doesn't seem like that to me, but he did.
 
Erik said:
it does mean something coming from sound pollution/black lodge records, though

And from Shamaatae.

It seems Jon was strong enough to go beyond the things he preached, usually I despise people commiting suicide, but this had a different meaning.

Still waiting for something official.

NP: Reinkaos <--- Ironically I've listened this record whole week when going to work and really started to enjoy the whole fucking album!
