Jon Nödtveidt, who was convicted of being an accomplice to murder
in 1997 and sentenced to ten years in prison, spent his time in maximum
security jail practicing on acoustic guitar, reading books and writing
songs. "I'm never going back to prison again", he vows.
"I know what I want from life and I am going to get it. There
is no way that I can change my past, but I stand up and take the consequences
of my actions. Without the ordeals of these years in prison, I would
not be where I am today. These years have given me time to contemplate
the true worth of making the best possible out of your life. I have
been lucky. I have had so much support from those on the outside,
my family, my brothers and sisters on the left hand path, and the
unfaltering legions of fans supporting Dissection out there. I have
had the blessings of the dark gods to reawaken my black flame!" Dec.
