Dissection was a Swedish extreme metal band from Strömstad, formed in 1989 by guitarist, vocalist and main songwriter Jon Nödtveidt and bassist Peter Palmdahl. Jon and some of Dissection's members were members of the Misanthropic Luciferian Order - a satanic occult order founded in Sweden in 1995 and later renamed Temple of the Black Light. The band split up in 1997 due to Nödtveidt's imprisonment for complicity in the murder of Josef Meddour. After his release, Nödtveidt reformed the band in 2004 with new members who he felt could "stand behind and live up to the demands of Dissection's Satanic concept." On August 13th of 2006, frontman Jon Nödtveidt committed suicide inside a circle of lit candles with a Satanic grimoire in front of him which is believed to be a copy of the Liber Azerate written by Frater Nemidial, leader of the MLO.
Dissection released a number of live albums and EPs before its final dissolution, and played a central role in the development of Sweden's black metal and death metal scenes.
