Dissection

Dissection is heralded as one of the founders of the so-called Gothenburg sound, which basically adds a melodic touch (often in the form of Maiden-ish twin guitar riffs) to death metal. Both of their albums are regarded as death metal classics, with Storm Of The Light's Bane getting the nod as the better of the two. Though the band's popularity was still rising, by 1997 internal strife amongst the band members led to most of the band leaving the band for one reason or another (two of them, Johan Norman and Tobias Kellgren, eventually formed Soulreaper), leaving founder to prison, effectively putting Dissection on indefinite hold.

put back in action. Former Emperor nucleus of a new lineup, but he left after only a couple of months. A new lineup eventually stabilized, and the comeback album, Reinkaos, was released in the spring of 2006. Rather abruptly, however, the band announced that a concert in late June would be their last, and later that year (August) thus marking the official end of the band.
