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.
Unhallowed
Dissection Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Grim is the truth that hides behind the fading light
The eyes of the beholder stares empty silent and cold
For the deeds of the dark ones are fearful to behold
With liftened dreadful swords we swear allegiance to our lord
We're the unhallowed usurpers of the throne
Superior mighty warriors of pure unhallowed blood
Shoulder to shoulder they reign in the darkest of nights
Together at the edge of time, brought forth to slay the light
Thy majesty, our majesty
Sole superior evil itself
We'll be your instrument
And the blade of their damnation
So futile humas on the knees for the satanized
Burning high at the stakes with the love of Christ
Do not rest in peace, may your souls all burn black
Your sons and daughters I will kiss....with a poisoned smile
Sing out the pain of your roots that you cannot deny
And we'll crush your worthless prayers of the weak forgotten
Lie
The apocalypse is here, oh fools of the withering sky
Encounter darkness as you fall into the endless fire
The jaws of darkness, open wide, lost souls scream out in vain
All will writhe eternity's perpetual infernal pain
With liftened dreadful swords we swear allegiance to our lord
We're the unhallowed usurpers of the throne.
The lyrics to Dissection's "Unhallowed" describe a group of people who have pledged themselves to a dark force and will stop at nothing to carry out its will. The first few lines set the tone of the song with references to pain, plague, and pestilence that will sweep through people's sight. The truth that hides behind the fading light is grim and terrifying, leading to the emptiness, silence and cold stares of the beholder. The deeds of the dark ones are so fearful that people can only look on in horror.
The song then moves to describe the unhallowed usurpers, a band of warriors who have pledged their allegiance to their lord. They are ready to bring destruction and mayhem as they reign over the night. Shoulder to shoulder, they march on the edge of time, intent on slaying the light. The chorus repeats several times, emphasizing the theme that they are the unhallowed usurpers of the throne, sworn to carry out their lord's will.
The final verses describe the apocalypse and the endless pain that awaits those who stand in the way of the unhallowed usurpers. They will crush the worthless prayers of the weak and forgotten lie. The song ends on a note of eternal punishment, with lost souls screaming out in vain as they writhe in perpetual infernal pain. Throughout, the lyrics weave a tale of darkness and terror, depicting a group of people who will do anything to carry out their lord's will.
Line by Line Meaning
Pain, plague and pestilence shall sweep through your sight
Suffering, disease, and destruction will be visible in front of you
Grim is the truth that hides behind the fading light
The reality lurking behind the light is ominous and scary
The eyes of the beholder stare empty silent and cold
The observer's gaze is blank, soundless, and indifferent
For the deeds of the dark ones are fearful to behold
The acts of evil beings are terrifying to look at
With liftened dreadful swords we swear allegiance to our lord
We pledge loyalty to our dark master with terrifying weapons
We're the unhallowed usurpers of the throne
As rebels without morals, we have taken power from rightful leaders
Dusk will bring the gathered ones upon the feeble men of god
At twilight, we'll assault the weak followers of the divine
Superior mighty warriors of pure unhallowed blood
Our supremely strong fighters are from corrupted lineage
Shoulder to shoulder they reign in the darkest of nights
Together, they dominate in the pitch-black times
Together at the edge of time, brought forth to slay the light
Their mission is to eliminate brightness at the brink of eternity
Thy majesty, our majesty
You and we share the same regal power
Sole superior evil itself
Your darkness stands alone and reigns supreme
We'll be your instrument
We'll be your tool to carry out your plans
And the blade of their damnation
We'll be the cause of their condemnation
So futile humans on the knees for the satanized
Humans are helpless and bow down to Satan
Burning high at the stakes with the love of Christ
They will suffer from being burned alive for their faith in Christ
Do not rest in peace, may your souls all burn black
Your souls should experience eternal agony, not peace
Your sons and daughters I will kiss....with a poisoned smile
I will deceive and harm your offspring with a fake expression of goodwill
Sing out the pain of your roots that you cannot deny
Express the agony of your origins that you can't avoid
And we'll crush your worthless prayers of the weak forgotten
We'll destroy the meaningless pleas of the ignored feeble
The apocalypse is here, oh fools of the withering sky
The end of the world is upon us, ignorant sky followers
Encounter darkness as you fall into the endless fire
Meet the darkness as you plunge into infinite flames
The jaws of darkness, open wide, lost souls scream out in vain
The darkness engulfs souls who cry out in vain
All will writhe eternity's perpetual infernal pain
Everyone will suffer a never-ending hellish agony

So sinister yet painfully melancholic. These tremolo pickings hurt my fingers. Godly song, an immortal band. R.I.P. Jon!

The interlude/solo will break you down, crumbling you to dust, elevate you and enthrone you back to solid granite in fucking heaven.
