... DISSECTION suffered the loss of Forwald in November 2005, a press statement revealing the bassist had vacated his position "in order to focus on his esoteric and exoteric work in Norway". Rejecting rumours of a band split, as Erik Danielsson was introduced on bass, Jon Nodtveidt stated "We are now heading into a new phase, a darker phase". The following month the album title of 'Reinkaos' was announced, the comeback album bowing in suitably on Walpurgis night, April 30th 2006.
The End Records unveiled an expanded re-issue campaign of re-masters for June. 'The Somberlain' added the 1990 'The Grief Prophecy' and 1991 'Into Infinite Obscurity' demos plus live tracks and rehearsal sessions, whilst 'Storm Of The Light's Bane' was enhanced with a second disc comprising the 1996 'Where Dead Angels Lie' EP, previously unheard 1994 demos and a completely different album mix.
On May 22nd Jon Nodtveidt put out a statement signalling the end of DISSECTION, explaining "I have reached the limitations of music as a tool for expressing what I want to express, for myself and the handful of others that I care about, and I will now move along to other realms of practice. Dissection's work is done and this is our legacy. Salve Satan! Salve Azerate 218!" The band's final performances came with a Swedish concert, their first and final Israeli gig and a brace of dates in the USA. DISSECTION's June 24th show in Stockholm, dubbed 'Midsummer Massacre '06', has been filmed and recorded for a DVD and live album.
