Artist: Dissection 
   Title: Rebirth Of Dissection
   Label: Escapi Music

Recorded at the bands sold out gig at Arenan in Stockholm back in 2004, in their hoards of die hard fans from all over the globe, this concert was a chance for many of the band's fans to catch the band live after some seven years out of the shadows.  The reasons behind this were mainly due to front man Jon Nodtveidt’s conviction for being an accomplice to murder back 1997.

The band paved the way for many of the European black metal bands back in the late eighties and early nineties and although they only released two albums during that time before Nodtveidt's imprisonment, the band had built up a strong and sizable worldwide fan base.

The band officially split shortly before Nodtveidt's conviction, although this was only a minor set back in the eyes of Nodtveidt.  As he explains in a frank interview his goal was always to return to Dissection on his release, but with a new line-up.  However, sadly just after the band released their latest album 'Reinkaos' in May on the bands own label Black Horizon Music, Nodtveidt's announced the band would in fact be calling it a day.  

So sadly this DVD will be the only chance many of the band's fans will ever get to capture the whole live Dissection experience.  As a band that Nodtveidt himself described as one of the most hated rock bands in history because of bands belief that ... “Dissection is a satanic tool to express and explore yourself and your inner darkness”.

This is a must buy purchase for all fans of not only the band themselves, but of the whole black/dark metal genre.  As pioneers of the whole European black metal scene Dissection have definitely left their mark on the world, whether it be for all the right reasons or not, only time will tell.
