Jon Nödtveidt, main man of Swedish melodic black metal warriors DISSECTION was found dead 8/16/2006 of a self inflicted gun shot wound, surrounded by candles and a suicide note in Sweden, at 31.
In December of 1997, Jon Nödveidt was arrested for the murder of Josef Meddaour and served seven years for accessory to murder and possession of an illegal firearm.
The 2006 movie KEILLERS PARK (also a book) recounts the events that led to the murder of Josef Meddaour.
Director of KEILLERS PARK Susanna Edwards, tells Aftonbladet, Josef Ben Meddaour was a naive and open person with a big heart," says Edwards. "He was a victim of a grotesque act of homophobia."
DISSECTION unleashed "Storm of the Light's Bane" (1995)" and re-activated DISSECTION in 2004.
Jon Nödtveidt's brother Emil is the guitarist/keyboardist of industrial metal warriors DEATHSTARS.
ITP V.06 EDITORS NOTE: This is pretty much of what I was informed of yesterday..Remember the Waco compound in Waco, Texas last decade? Yes, the Waco (Wackos from Waco) compound were a cult, and Jon of Dissections suicide is similar to the behavior in cult mass suicides.. I wouldn't be surprised if other

MLO, is a new satanic off shoot (no pun intended) cult in Scandinavia that rejects Christian beliefs and also rejects Anton Levy's satanic ideals for a"'new" form of satanism, including human ritual sacrifice. When I, personally got into extreme metal in the later 80's, metal for me was about individualism. Also finding a passionate community in that alienation in all that is in extreme metal. If any religions sect or order, or anyone else said, it is "cool" to commit murder or/and suicide I would REJECT any indoctrination, for I am an individual, I think for myself, and checking ones head seems appropriate if you agree that this behavior of this sect is "normal". These actions of the MLO are self defeating in that the "Be like me and brainwashed" by some religious sect is exactly what they hate in other religions (hypocrites, followers and not leaders) including Christianity. Lack of individualism, and independence makes people SHEEP.
Most in the Scandinavian black metal scene did not view Jon of Dissection's suicide as an act of "depression" (although psychiatric and psychological issues may be closer to the truth speaking of self hatred) as much as brainwashing by way of the MLO.
Many young ex cons are vulnerable after serving time to gangs, cults ect..No one could cover up how psychologically disturbed Jon of Dissection was in some esoteric/satanic propaganda . Jon was particularly weak, an alcoholic, vulnerable to any "cult" dogma/indoctrination and misguided in his actions.. It was of Jon's weak will that his gun was used to torture and murder a gay, Algerian black man in (Sweden) the 90's.
Since the 90's, Scandinavia has been searching for a new cultural identity around the thousandth anniversary of Christianity in Norway. Black metal is the sound track to casting out years of religious repression (Christianity) in Scandinavia. Since the church burnings in Norway (in the 90's )by a very YOUNG circle of black metal musicians and friends, these acts, (although I don't condone) has been considered their "Columbine" as teen terrorists. .
We are all, searching for something, but horrified, sickened and ultimately saddened by the actions of the Varg Viekernes/

Metal heads, readers, please don't go down the road of Jon of Dissection and the MLO Be independent, and think for your self... Trust the art and not the artist.
FROM AGALLOCH MY SPACE BULLETIN:
formed DISSECTION in 1989 and released two full-length albums with the group â "The Somberlain" (1993) and "Storm of the Light's Bane" (1995) â 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. From a post on the Blabbermouth.net comment section: (I agree BTW): You have to understand that Jon was a founder member of MLO, which by all definitions is an extremist sect - actually one of the few satanic orders (along with ONA, which they have close ties to) that condones human sacrifice and the extermination of mankind. If a couple of Dissection fans now perform copycat suicides, they'd probably consider it a good thing.
Clearly they are nuts, and I don't for a second agree with these views, but you have to put it into perspective. This is no ordinary joe killing himself in a fit of depression or something.
