Jon Nodveidt admits Reinkaos is the final Dissection

[BenMech]

found in that fan interview on his messageboard

I have such a strange feeling lately, that Dissection will quit after the Midsummer Massacre. I mean, what else after Reinkaos, what else after the great comeback?
"What we have in front of us now are a few extremely select concerts that will mark the end of Dissection, out of which the Dissection Midsummer Massacre in Sweden on the 24th of June will be the only European concert, as well as the last. We will also make our first and last concert in Israel, as well as two final concerts on the American continent.
I have reached the limitations of music as a tool for expressing what I want to express, for myself and the handful of others that I care about, and I will now move along to other realms of practice.
"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. I want to thank my brothers in battle, Set and Tomas for making this possible. Salve Satan! Salve Azerate 218!"

fuck.

Huh, sort of a cool way to end I guess. I still need to spend more time with this album, but I do enjoy it. Black Dragon and the title track in particular.

 

[Claws of Perdition]

rightio, im going to listen to SotLB...

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

Somberlain for me!

 

[Claws of Perdition]

SotLB > Somberlain /openingcanofworms

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

I used to agree but it changed at some point.

Jon has done something wonderful for the metal community here: proven that even once you're a washed up ex-con, as long as you released good music a decade ago, tens of thousands of metalheads will willingly pad out your wallet and allow you to indulge in whatever kind of "Satanic rituals" you wish until you're an old, grey dude sitting in an armchair musing to yourself about how you badly you fleeced all those bastards :lol"

you mean he's basically turned us(the fans of metal as a whole) into the mental and economic twins of pop music fans?

edit: btw, i didn't buy his new stuff because what i'd heard of it was crap.

 

[JayKeeley]

I like the new stuff, I'd give it a 7.5/10. If it grows to an 8.5 I'll consider buying it. [/jew]

By the way, were those tour dates in the US real? I'm not sure if they were ever confirmed just because it'll be IMPOSSIBLE for him to get a US entry visa.

that missive is living proof that preachy egotism can come from any point on the compass.

hahaha, nice.

 

[lizard]

fleecing consumers is so satanic it isn't even funny! look at Enron!

 

[JayKeeley]

We await the day an all black/jewish band releases an NSBM album "incognito".

 

[MFJ]

see, the problem is that the new album is totally fucking awful. like... really bad. normally i'm a man of opinion, but this is NO matter of opinion. shit album.
