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.
Where Dead Angels Lie
Dissection Lyrics

lyrics: J. Nödtveidt
In the dawn an angel was dancing surrounded by aura of light
But in the shadows something was watching and with patience awaiting the night
Angel whispers: "Mournful night, attractive night, your dark beauty obsesses me"
An angel bewitched by the shadows
Seduced by the whispering lies
Chorus:
A spell was cast and the sky turned red
The angel´s heart froze to ice
The blackness that falls is coming to stay
Under the snow lies angels so cold
Dusk has passed and a cold morning breeze is sweeping all over the plain
On the ground lies an angel with skin so pale
On her face an images of pain
Snow is now falling to the frozen ground
The angel is covered by white
Frost is spreading across the plain to welcome the eternal night
The dress is white with crystals of ice and frozen roses so red
Roses of blood from an innocent soul
On the plain lies an angel dead
Chorus:
A Spell was cast and the sky turned red
The angel's heart froze to ice
In the gloomy sky black clouds where gathering
The silence was broken by cries
A spell was cast and the sky turned red and the angel's heart froze to ice
In the gloomy sky - The silence where dead angels lie
Touch the snow... Caress the lifeless sculptures
Die!!!
Chorus:
The blackness that falls is coming to stay
Under the snow lie angels so cold
Yet with each crystal of frost that is falling another story is told
A spell was cast and the sky turned red
The angel's heart froze to ice
In the gloomy sky - The silence where dead angels lie
In the song "Where Dead Angels Lie", Dissection describes an angel who was dancing in the morning. However, something was watching in the shadows, waiting for nightfall. The angel was fascinated by the dark beauty of the night and whispered mournful words to the darkness. The shadows cast a spell on the angel, seducing it with their whispering lies. As a result, the sky turned red, the angel's heart froze to ice, and the blackness fell upon the earth. The snow covered the ground, and the angel was cold.
The next morning, the snowflakes have fallen on the ground. The plain was swept by cold wind, and the angel was now lying on the ground pale-skinned, with a face filled with pain. The snow was now falling to the frozen ground, and the angel was subsequently covered by white. The frost was spreading all over the plain to welcome the eternal night, and the angel was now dead, dressed in white with crystal ice and frozen roses so red. The frost on the ground was the blood of an innocent soul with silent cries broken by the gloomy sky where dead angels lie.

The blackness of eternal night is here to stay, with cold, dead angels buried beneath the snow. Each frost crystal tells a tale. Another spell turns the sky red, freezing hearts, and leaving just the silence where dead angels lie
