1) Dissection was a Melodic Death/Black Metal band from Strömstad, Sweden. The 2006 album "Reinkaos" is Conceptual Melodic Thrash/Death Metal or as Jon himself called it "The Metal Of Death". The band was formed in 1989 by Jon Nödtveidt (vocals / lead, rhythm & acoustic guitars). Other members were Ole Öhman (drums), Peter Palmdahl (bass), and John Zwetsloot (rhythm & classic acoustic guitars).
In 1990, Dissection played their first live show with death metal act Entombed. In the same year, they recorded and released their first demo titled "The Grief Prophecy". A year later the first EP "Into Infinite Obscurity" was released. In 1992, Dissection began work on a full-length album, "The Somberlain", which was released by the now-defunct Swedish label No Fashion Records.
During November 1994, Dissection signed a record deal with the German record label Nuclear Blast. Because he didn't take the band as seriously as the other members did, John Zwetsloot was replaced by Johan Norman on rhythm guitars. In 1995, the band's second full-length album, "Storm of the Light's Bane", was released, after which Öhman left the band to be replaced by Tobias Kellgren. The following year, Dissection also released a short EP titled "Where Dead Angels Lie". It was compiled from previous rare and import releases, and contained only cover songs and demo tracks.
In 1997, a compilation album featuring almost all old Dissection demo songs was issued, titled "The Past Is Alive (The Early Mischief)". That same year, Jon Nödtveidt was convicted of helping murder a 38-year old homosexual man in Gothenburg and the band disbanded. Jon was serving time in prison until early 2004 and then reactivated the band. Nödtveidt formed an entirely new line-up, consisting of Set Teitan (rhythm guitars & backing vocals; also in Watain) and Tomas Asklund (drums; also in Gorgoroth).
In 2006, Dissection released their third full-length album "Reinkaos" through their own label, in association with The End Records. The lyrics on "Reinkaos" contain magical formulae, based on the teachings of the book "Misanthropic Luciferian Order".
The band played its final European concert in Stockholm on Midsummer, 24 June 2006. Jon Nödtveidt (aged 31) shot himself somewhere between August 14th and 16th. Swedish police found him in his apartment the 16th of August 2006. He killed himself because he felt he had achieved all that he could and was meant to in this life. According to some who actually knew him this was probably planned ever since he got out of jail.
2) Dissection is a Canadian thrash metal band from Quebec City, Quebec formed in 1986 under the name Genocide. They released two demos under that name ("Chain Saw Slaughter" and "Black List") before changing their name to Dissection in 1987. Dissection released their debut album in 1988 titled "Final Genocide" through Fringe Product. In 1991 they released a cassette called "Garden of Stone" and split up soon after. Members of Dissection had previously played in the heavy metal band Outbreak and some Outbreak riffs were recycled for Dissection songs.
3) Dissection is a death/thrash metal band from Croatia, but changed their name to Aeon and split up in 1996.
4) Dissection is a death metal band from Lithuania. They split up in 1993, but in 2006 a compilation album called "Dissected Tapes" was released.
5) Dissection is a black metal band from Germany. Changed name after two demo tapes and released several albums as Tsatthoggua.
6) Dissection is a death/grind band from Poland, and split up a year after forming in 1990.
7) Dissection is a thrash metal band from Czech Republic that formed in 1985 and they are still around.
The Somberlain
Dissection Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could feel the dark embrace my soul
Agony was no more, and so was pain
At this point of solitude I knew I was there
There where I belong
Thus far a long journey through my souls infinity
It has been a journey far beyond mortality
I have found what I wanted, tranquility
I flew over crystal ground
My existence, numb
Over orchards of grievance,
sorrow and tears
This beautiful silence
calls me now
Black fog devours me but I can see it all
The monument of my past,
this land of seven horizons before my eyes
I reach the land of spiritual rest
Its the dawn of descending
I am the Somberlain
down to evil divine domain
Lord of infernal, gather my strength
Carry me through the gates
Its the dawn of descending
I am the Somberlain
down to evil divine domain
For I'm eternal night
I'm the Somberlain
Precede my evil divine domain
The lyrics to Dissection's song "The Somberlain" depict a journey towards darkness and evil, but also towards peace and tranquility through acceptance of one's true self. The singer describes falling deeper into a state of darkness, where agony and pain no longer exist, and they feel a sense of belonging. They have been on a long journey beyond mortality, and have found what they were searching for: a state of tranquility they will thrive on eternally, rooted in evil. They continue to fly over a landscape of grief and sorrow, before reaching a land of spiritual rest. The singer proclaims themselves as the Somberlain, a lord of infernal strength who descends into the divine domain of evil.
The song's lyrics are open to interpretation, but they seem to explore themes of self-discovery, acceptance, and embracing darkness. The singer has journeyed through their soul's infinity and found a place of belonging in darkness. They are at peace with their identity as an eternal night, and take on the mantle of the Somberlain with pride. The landscape they fly over, filled with sorrow and tears, could represent the pain and suffering of the world they are leaving behind, or a reflection of their own past. The song ends with the Somberlain descending into their divine domain of evil, ready to wield their infernal strength.

Black Horizons
From my Tower I behold the landscape below
I see the river of blood in fury flow
I stare into the night, yet my vision's clear
From the distant villages every word I hear
I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide
I am the great shadow and from daylight in my tower I hide
I have seen the abyss and all that lies within
I am the great shadow and I was born in sin
Thy shadow swept by like an angel fading to grey
Thy eyes were like weakening candles leaving the flames to die
Thy pale cold face, once so full of life
Now it's torn as of thorns of ice
Thy towers fell to the ground
I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide
I am the great shadow and from daylight in my tower I hide
I have seen the abyss and all that lies within
I am the great shadow and I was born in sin
Shadows over a dark lost kingdom
The dark clouds are neverending
Yes, this is the land, the land of the black horizon
Where the shores are covered with the bodies of thy followers
Triumphal vengeance, dethroning the shape of thou
Fade I say, wither away
I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide
I am the great shadow, no daylight over my kingdom ride
At the black horizons, my eyes and soul's the wind
I am the great shadow and I was born in sin
I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide
I am the great shadow, no daylight over my kingdom ride
At the black horizons, my eyes and soul's the wind
I am the great shadow
Behold my land of sin!
The Somberlain
I fell deeper and deeper as light now was gone
I could feel the dark embrace my soul
Agony was no more, and so was pain
At this point of solitude I knew I was there...
There where I belong
Thus far a long journey through my soul's infinity
It has been a journey far beyond mortality
I have found what I wanted, tranquillity
I'll thrive on evil, eternally
I flew over crystal ground
My existence, numb
Over orchards of grievance
sorrow and tears
This beautiful silence
calls me now
Black fog devours me but I can see it all
The monument of my past
The land of the seven horizons' before my eyes
I reach the land of spiritual rest
It's the dawn of descending
- I am the Somberlain
Down to evil divine domain
Lord of infernal, gather my strength
Carry me through the gates
It's the dawn of descending
- I am the Somberlain
Down to evil divine domain
For I'm eternal night
- I'm the Somberlain
Precede my evil divine domain
A Land Forlorn
The mountains below we reached by our will
The flames of our swords are burning still
Tempted by the night to spread hate and fear
We're the revenge the blackest, Their soul is our prey
Storms of evil, thunder and might
Their moon's in our eyes, a guiding sight
We're the march of profanity
The darkest breed, again we'll rise
forth against the flocks of the weak
We'll approach a land forlorn
Our hordes arrived / O hordes of white,
Watch us take your lives
As false you'll fall, falseness disappear
(The Land) where eyes are blind we have found
Battle sign under the shape of mine
Darkest souls now set free
We rose again, damnation's reign
Watch me absorb your thoughts
See me ruin your halls of light
Weltering in your sadness for infinity
We're the march of profanity
Your tragedy, flames will rise
forth against the flocks of the weak
No return, A land forlorn
Heaven's Damnation
Striking over oceans of blood
Over kingdoms in fears
Where the night bred it's cold
Dark the winter drew near
Watch the sky, the crimson tears of heaven
The darkened mist of burning hate
Ashes of the past, Years that fell into oblivion
Visions so dim they had, memories of a time
yet to come
Watch the sky, the crimson tears of heaven
As damnation reaches the hidden lands
Through forest of profanity
The sound of cries
Brought forth by the night sky
Invoked by their own tongues
Yes they're truly awake now
The souls that were sleeping under the tree of death
And I laugh as I burn down the pearly gates of light
And forever I'll be within the arms of abomination
Embracement of eternal dark
With the ancient souls at the sides
Wastelands bathed in evil...
are one with the blackened sky
Watch the sky, the crimson tears of heaven
fade to black and welcome the night of all nights
Frozen
beyond all light
Within the black and the coldest breeze
Caressed by the dark, I had my sleep
Awakened by the moon
Nocturnal life, my powers to be
Keeping myself alive by sucking you mortals' blood...
Frozen winds of immortality
as I drown in obscurity
Still feeling the taste of blood
It makes me so strong
I spread my wings
Into soul winter I fly
Tears in my eyes turns into fire
as where I belong
The cold within, it chills my skin,
my heart and soul
In ecstasy I shred myself
to release what's held within
In solitude I'm having my pride
I, Transylvanian son
Frozen winds of immortality
as I drown in obscurity
I fall deep into what's for me unseen
Eternal flames lick my face
In purgatory I'm all within
But I'm forever bound to my frozen soul
In the Cold Winds of Nowhere
Search for my subconscious
Lead me into myself
A need to discover the dark
A will to enter these gates
Oh, this temptation
to end this empty life
In my dreams I saw my real side
A journey through forever
my vision's, O so bright
Watching eternity open
as I turn out life's light
Oh, this temptation
to leave this earthly shell
Deep inside, the toll of death's bell
In the cold winds of nowhere
With a sigh I pass away
Falling, into harmonic sleep
Then I'll find my prophecies wasn't lies
Falling, into the abyss I come
I... I am dying
Death does heal me
In the cold winds of nowhere
The Grief Prophecy / Shadows over a Lost Kingdom
I - have travelled through eternity
I will - reign once again
You will never rule again!
Hunger - A thirst for your pain
I will - see your kingdom burnt by sins
Join my crusade of a time left to come
To spill the blood
You're the ones who never saw the sun
Now I hear it, the calling
I hear the calling of the mist
The ancients and their slumber
Eenai, will rise again from the sea
Prophecy
From the sea
Mistress of the Bleeding Sorrow
So dark, I'm facing my destiny
As far as pleasure led my disciple was me
For ages I have been searching for my bride
Since she passed away grief became my guide
As darkness falls above
- It will be there for centuries
My mistress of sorrow she will hear my call
I sort of entered the other side
when those words were called up to the sky
As darkness falls above
- It will be there for centuries
Mistress of sorrow, please hear my call
As darkness falls above
- It will be there for centuries
No mistress of sorrow ever heard my call
