LetÆs stay in the same style, but darkerà Dissection was born under Jon
N÷dtveidtÆs impulse (guitar/voice) in 1989 in Sweden, with an inspiration
dictated by inhuman forces.
Truth ? No one will know and thatÆs what made legend. A first break happens
in 1997 after Jon was detained for murder conviction, but right after his
release he calls Tomas Asklund on drums (ex-Aborym, ex-Bloodline) and the
french man Brice Leclercq on bass (Ages, ex-Nightrage, ex-Satyricon). Erik
Danielsson (Watain) fills on bass for live shows during 2005.
The band breaks in 2006 after the release of their third full-length, right
after their leaderÆs suicide. Jon N÷dtveidt is found dead by gunshot inside
a circle of candles with a satanic grimoire near from him, because he ôhe
has reached his peak in life, when he has accomplished everythingö,
following satanic precepts. We will obviously focus on the last record,
Reinkaos, released months before JonÆs suicide. A Masterpiece that switches
between Melodic Death Metal and Melodic Black Metal, with Erik Danielsson
and Whiplasher (Deathstars, ex-Swordmaster) on choirs, and also Nyx 218 on
female vocals. I let you enjoy the record if you switch off the light.
The album slowly starts with the instrumental track Nexion 218. A clean
sound melodic and worrying track that leads us to a solid and violent
rhythm part. Beyond The Horizon begins and knocks us out with a warlike
blast beat and a deep rhythm riff. A mesmerizing lead guitar takes over
until Jon N÷dtveidtÆs raw voice. In good shape after his incarceration, he
took time to work on his riffs and his lyrics. Starless Aeons wonÆt lose
any moment to offer us the first solo right on the beginning. Jon screams
his lungs out on jerky riffs, while the swedish inheritance forms itself.
Black DragonÆs slow introduction will be anchored in your mind just like an
arrow in the flesh, while Dark Mother Divine focuses on deep and
atmospheric sounds to convince us. For our greatest pleasure, we discover
some sharp and agressive riffs on Xeper-I-Set, with distant and low choirs.
It sounds a bit like a different universe that we had on the whole album,
but it fits perfectly to the band. A mesmerizing interlude with Chaosophia,
and letÆs go again with God Of Forbidden Light and its perfect lead guitar.
A melodic monument.
The eponymous track, Reinkaos, is also full of melody with both guitars for
a wonderful instrumental track, before leaving us on Internal Fire. The
bandÆs heavy and jerky sounds are coming back with more violent than ever
before screams until the final. I think there is no extreme Metal fan that
donÆt know this song. Maha Kali, the universal ode to destruction. On the
break, Nyx 218 melts her voice with Jon N÷dtveidtÆs one for a specific
ambient sound. Even if this track is really captivating, it the recordÆs
and Dissection discographyÆs last one.
As I said before, itÆs only few months after writing and recording this
masterpiece that Jon N÷dtveidt took his own life. Dissection lets us a vast
heritage. Simultaneously for their violent rhythm parts, enchantress
melodies or dark lyrics. Unfortunately, itÆs often by death that a band
becomes a legend, and the swedish band isnÆt an exception to the rule.
Frequently covered, but never matched, they still reign nowadays over
Melodic Black Metal alongside with Emperor.
