FAR BEYOND ALL LIGHT – The Life, Death and Legacy of Jon Nödtveidt and Dissection

By S. Monleón

The long-awaited first and definitive biography of the leader of Dissection.

Jon A. Nödtveidt left behind two indisputable legacies; the first, musical. With unparalleled compositional talent, he shaped at will a hybrid between the two dominant styles of the early ’90s—Death and Black Metal. He gave this unique musical style a name, and he consecrated it to Satanism, achieving the complete fusion of music and intention. A bastion of authenticity. The second legacy, the one beyond music, concerns his spirituality.

And it goes far beyond wether the reader of these lines cultivates any form of spirituality or none at all, because the intrisic value of this legacy lies in the indestructible correlation of intention, thought, word, and action. What is known as "living and dying by one's own law". (...) Within art itself, specifically in the muscial style of heavy metal – where alsmot everything surrounding the music is a mere advertising pose and nothing more – the figure of Jon is a gem that shines in a sea of filth.
