Satanist musician kills himself

From Chartattack, this link to a story about a Swedish musician who also worshipped Satan.

Swedish police who found the singer/guitarist's body have confirmed that he shot and killed himself on August 16 — which is the same day that Elvis Presley died 29 years ago, if that means anything.

Dissection formed in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1989 and released two albums, 1993's The Somberlain and 1995's Storm Of The Light's Bane, before Nodtveidt was convicted of brutally murdering an Algerian homosexual in July 1997. He was released from prison in 2004 and reformed Dissection with a new lineup to record the group's third studio album, Reinkaos, which was released by The End Records in May.

A more disturbing tribute to the man can be found in the "official statement" on the Dissection website. Here's what it said:

"As a true Satanist he led his life in the way he wanted and ended it when he felt that he had fulfilled his self-created destiny. Not everyone will have understanding or acceptance for his personal path in this life and beyond, but all must respect his choice.

"Those of us who have met him in his last days can assure that he was more focussed, happier and stronger than ever. It is our full conviction that he left this world of lies with a scornful laughter, knowing that he had fulfilled everything that he had set up for himself to accomplish. The empty space that he leaves behind will be filled with the dark essence that he manifested through his life and black-magical work. His legacy and Luciferian Fire will live on through those few who truly knew him and appreciated his work for what it really was and still is. As our brother's goal in life and death never was to 'Rest in Peace,' we will instead wish him victories in all battles to come, until the Acosmic Destiny has been fulfilled.
