The band played its final European concert in Stockholm on Midsummer (24 June) 2006.
Shortly after the release, in May 2006, in an online chat interview, Dissection announced plans to split following a short tour, including only two US dates (Though the US dates were cancelled due to Nödtveidt's incarceration, forbidding him from entering).
In 2006, Dissection released their third full length album "Reinkaos" through their own label, in association with The End Records. Subsequently, Dissection recorded one two-track EP entitled Maha Kali and toured heavily with the "The Rebirth of Dissection" tour. Since then, Nödtveidt has formed a new line-up for Dissection with none of the previous members participating. In 1997, Jon Nödtveidt was convicted for helping to murder a 38-year old homosexual man in Gothenburg. It was compiled from previous rare and import releases, and contained only cover songs and demo tracks. The following year, Dissection also released a short EP entitled Where Dead Angels Lie. In 1995, the band's second full-length album, called Storm Of The Light's Bane, was released. It was formally dedicated to Euronymous, the then-guitarist of Mayhem, who had been murdered earlier that year.ĭuring November of 1994, Dissection signed a record deal with the German record label Nuclear Blast. The album was finished and released the following December.
Because of coordination problems among members, the entire band moved to Gothenburg, Sweden (where they shared a rehearsal space with At the Gates) in the summer of 1993. In 1992, Dissection began work on a full-length album, The Somberlain. Later that year, Dissection accepted the deal and recorded Into Infinite Obscurity. The Grief Prophecy was soon spread through the underground, and the French record label Corpsegrinder Records offered Dissection a deal to record an EP. Dissection also played a live show in his honor, at which they performed the Mayhem song "Freezing Moon". The special release featured album art drawn by Dead himself. A special edition of The Grief Prophecy was later released in memory of Dead, the former vocalist for the notorious Norwegian black metal group Mayhem, who committed suicide in 1991. It contained three songs and featured illustrations by the artist known as Necrolord, who has since created nearly all of Dissection's album art. In the same year, they also recorded and released their first demo, The Grief Prophecy. In 1990, Dissection played their first live show with death metal act Entombed.
