Jon wasn’t one of these typical atheist musicians in the industry who use satanic imagery for shock value and attention.

Jon Nodtveidt was deeply involved in the occult, specifically the Misanthropic Luciferian Order, or “Temple of the Black Light”. It was the final chapter in his twisted saga. It was the album Jon wanted to be remembered for. It wasn’t until Dissection frontman Jon Nodtveidt committed suicide that fans began to understand what ‘Reinkaos’ truly was. But what fans didn’t realize was that this album was much more than that. For Dissection fans, it seemed that ‘Reinkaos’ was definitely one of those albums, because even though it was very much a Dissection album, it was also a drastic change in creative direction. It’s the mark of every great band the desire to transcend and evolve despite how their fans may react to it. I love it when a band decides to change direction, and try new things, or change their style even if it doesn’t work out in their favor.

If you’ve been following me on this site, you may have come to the realization that I’m a fan of albums that mark a pivotal time in a band’s musical journey.
