Damn, Jon was such a ridiculously talented sonic craftsman. His ear for melody and subtle touches and nuances was incredible. A true musical artist of the highest order.

One of my favorite Bands of all time

Aw yeah Dissection. If you knew the things this guy did. He was a satanist, spent years in prison for murder where he wrote his final album then committed suicide. But a brilliant musician, that's for sure xD

It's pretty crazy that in 95 when Metal was considered "Dead", in Sweden this album was released along with Opeth - Orchid, Meshuggah - Destroy erase improve, In flames - The jester race, At the gates - Slaughter of the soul, Dark tranquillity - The gallery All iconic albums that laid the foundation for metal as we know it today.

Finally someone reacting to one of the best black metal bands in history. A truly historic band. So much... feeling in their sound. In another of their songs, "Unhallowed", that guitar solo is just... tear jerking. You actually hear that guitar cry. I had the privilege to see them live years back on their last tour. Just wonderful. Thanks for reacting to it!

Dissection Songs: Night's Blood or The Somberlain

Finally! Dissection's Storm of the light's bane is top tier Black metal. Buuut, you need to listen to songs like Soulreaper, Night's blood or Thorns of crimson death to fully appreciate Dissection's greatness

Being that you guys seem interested in different views, and you're interested in theology obviously, you might find Jon's beliefs interesting. They're not really that know even among his fans, but they're pretty interesting. He wasn't simply a satanist, but was a sort of a gnostic, a polytheistic and dualist one, with a mesopotamian based syncretistic theology. The theology of the organization of which he was a part of, Misanthropic Luciferian Order, later renamed Temple of the Black Light - is that there exist two groups of gods - the chaos gods, and the cosmic gods. The chaos gods, dark gods, are older, at least the primordial Tiamat and Abzu, who in their dream produce several cosmic gods, the light gods (who then produce more cosmic gods). Tiamat and Abzu want to destroy the cosmic gods, and make more chaos gods, and there's a war. Cosmic gods win that war. The main and most powerful cosmic god (even though he is a second generation cosmic god) is Marduk. Marduk is the demiurge, who makes the cosmos. He can't make it out of nothing, so he makes it from Tiamat's dead body, and that's why the cosmos isn't perfectly ordered and good, but ambivalent, has both order and chaos. He wants to make some beings in the material world with minds, so those beings could worship and obey him. But to make humans who have a mind, he needs to do it by giving them a piece of divinity, and since no cosmic god wants to offer themself, he uses an imprisoned chaos god - Kingu, and that's why humans are called blood of Kingu. Also that's why humans often don't obey him, they have the anti-cosmic black flame inside them. Marduk presented himself to humans not just as Marduk in Mesopotamia, but also as the abrahamic god, Zeus, Ra, Ahura Mazda, Odin, Vishnu, etc. The most powerful of the chaos gods is Satan, who was know to people also as Samael, Typhon, Set, Ahriman, Loki, etc. After Satan the most powerful god is the goddess Lilith, also known as Kali, Aeshma, etc. Tiamat is called Tehom in the Bible in the beginning of Genesis, and Yahweh is praised several times for defeating (rebuking, taming) the mighty waters. Eschatologically, chaos gods will prevail, the black holes will destroy the cosmos, the chaos gods will destroy the cosmic gods, and everything will again be chaos. People who have their inner black flame burning will be spared and live on with chaos gods. And the black flame burns basically when people do what they want instead of obeying the rules, especially religious morality. The album Reinkaos is basically just religious songs which express his faith.

When I listened to this song a lot back in the 90s where I still went to school, I always had this thought that the angels is a child (pure, innocent, untainted) and the darkness is the bad parts of our modern society (bad parenthood, street gangs, bullying at school etc.) and the innocent child ends up getting drawn to that darkness, being grasped by it and dying as a result of it. The dead angel is later described so beautifully, snow white dress with crystals of ice and roses so red, as if one would remember what it once was.

FUN FACT : The singer/guitarist of Dissection was a member of the Temple of the black light ( Misanthropic Luciferian Order ) , just like Watain's singer.

Beautiful song!!!

Finally! Dissection 😍 I have a tattoo from the band on my arm and own their vinyl. Huge fan. Rest in chaos, Jon.

Dissection - Black Dragon.

Death-Lack of Comprehension!

I have never clicked so fast to one of your videos and screaming at the same time

John was damn talented singer, songwriter and guitarist. Sadly he got heavily involved with gang activities and everthing went in a downward spiral from there. He left us with one of the best albums I've ever heard though

Im so happy you guys did this song, one of my favorite bands.

Holy (?) shit....Dissection. Awesome. Pure Kvlt. R.I.P Jon

Hey Vin and sori Finally u reacted to a song for dissection. Though thorns of crimson death is the best song for them xD

It's my dad who's screaming that high pitch in the background. My dad and the vocalist was good friends and when they recorded where dead angels lie the vocalist could't scream that loud but he ask my dad to scream as loud as he can so he did it. And after that nobody knows that it is my dad who's screaming in the background. I'm telling the truth. My dad told me that many times.

Yeess!!! U guys are awesome!! Finally some Dissection!! Rip Jon!

Gorgoroth - Possessed by Satan Deathspell Omega - Carnal Malefactor

I just wanted to say that I really enjoy your content. You consistently put out 30 + minute interesting dialogue about or relating to these songs. I hope that you're enjoying doing these videos and you're not gonna get burned out :)

she likes the more mainstream part of the music, and hes more into the deepest stuff. she pays more attention to the imagery and hes more aware to the details AND LYRICS. Q: ) funny to perceive all of that .

This band is the epitome of perfect melodic black metal. Jon was a one of a kind writer, not to mention his unique voice. I fell in love with black metal with this band, and to this day, their last album is the one I consider life-changing, musician wise. Can't really put it to words how much it means to me that you covered this song, even though many will not understand the beauty of it, and the uniqueness it represented back in the 90's.

This was a pleasant surprise. Ive been listening to more dissection recently and this is a favorite for sure.

Been waiting for you guys to do this song!

Jon one of the most underrated frontman ever,such an amaizing writer and guitarist

I do love how open Sori has gotten throughout the months though! Its wonderful to see her able to really express herself more!

I love Salty, Sparky, and Chip and how you guys incorporate them into the videos. Love the videos!

I gotta hand it to you guys, of all the reactors on here, you were the first I've seen cover Diamond Head and Dissection

This song is what got me into metal when i was about 7-8 years old, amazing song

Hugely influential band in the 90’s. Can’t believe you covered this. Fantastic. Please check out Dimmu Borgir’s Kings of Carnival Creation. Way better than the last song you did by them and more representative of their catalog.

And just 15 min in this is probably my favorite discussion by you guys so far. Thanks for being open & intelligent people...humanity could use more talks like this.🤓

I am so absolutely stoked about you two reviewing this amazing, timeless song by the great Dissection!! I am so happy for your amazing reactions. Thank you and I also care about Sparky and Salty . I can't wait for your next vid. I recommend At The Gates "Blinded by Fear", MayheM "The Freezing Moon" and Satyricon "Fuel for Hatred". 👍🏼👍🏼😊

Black metal forever! And you are correct, a decent amount of black metal pulls from pagan folklore and the influence can be heard in this music. Here are some more black metal recommendations: Dissection - Black Dragon, The Somberlain, or Retribution - Storm of the Light's Bane At the Gates - Slaughter of the Soul M8l8th - Beyond the Twilights, or Scum Immortal - Withstand the Fall of Time, or Mighty Ravendark Mgla - Exercises in Futility IV Tribulation - Here be Dragons Burzum - Beholding the Daughters of the Firmament, Dunkelheit Marduk - Bleached Blones, Frontschwein, Christraping Black Metal Peste Noire - Dueil Angoisseus Goatmoon - Black Metal Winter Satanic Warmaster - Black Metal Kommando

Please “Melechesh - Multiple Truths (Lyric Video)” an Assyrian band that influenced heavily by Mesopotamian mythology and eastern riffs.

awesome idea to dissect this Dissection song!! You guys are so laid back!

I spent my teenaged years with these guys up in Strömstad. we played in bands and often hung out. Dissections music has a profound impact on my teens and i think of those memories with fondness. Sitting in Jons room and listening to Twisted Sister and Unleashed and drinking 2,8 beer. Good times. hail metal.

Opeth-The Drapery falls

Haven't even listened yet, but super hype to watch this now! Also this is black metal, so probably should of been Blackfire?

Before I head off to bed, just wanted to say another brilliant video from you two! Loved this song for yeeears.. so very cool you reacted to it! And ofc, Vin.. you know what's coming ;) Wardruna - wink wink- oh! Also! Wolfheart "Routa Pt. 2", also very melodical and just brilliant song!

I'm sooo happy yall chose this song. My fav Dissection song

for me, a thrash/death-metalhead, Dissection-song choices would be "Reinkaos"->the song on the album itself), "Black Dragon" and "Dark Mother Divine", and ofcourse, "God of Forbidden Light" would you guys please react to these? :>

Dissection definitely had a heavy classical element in their music. It’s one of the reasons they’re considered one of the pioneers of the melodic black/death metal genres. Jon was an absolute musical genius. Also, if you want to delve deep into Jon’s spiritual beliefs, review something from the Reinkaos album.

Thanks for the promo guys! And appropriately on a Dissection song! Hahahaha definitely sets the mood before anyone checks out my work! “ “Terror and a cow in a field”😂😂 I can’t get over that

OMG finally you guys

Now we are talking, did meet Jon at midnight massacare. He was a very intelligent person and I love all dissection, to bad he is isent around no more, look up there last record Reinkaos Maha Kali, Dark Mother divine. Look up his brother Emil band Deathstars strongly recomended.

I love sparky and salty and chip and chirpy the smoke detector

Became a patron keep up the good work!

Love your channel guys! If you'd like however to experience what Dissection was really about, both musically and lyrically, I would suggest you to listen to Soulreaper or Maha Kali. Of course, there are other Dissection's masterpieces, but to me these two songs are essential for the band's style and agenda. All the very best to you!

Nice.. Dissection... try some more songs.. maybe Black Dragion or Maha Kali... Nights blood or Crimson death if u feeling edgy ;)

Great song and the album is also killer

Good ol' Dissection. I remember what was probably my first comment on your videos, where I mentioned Dissection. This was before I started requesting Agalloch almost every day (consider this a request too), so on your first "Christians react to Black Metal video" I guess. As I said at the time, I didn't listen to Black Metal, until I heard this song, I just loved how beautiful the melodies were, while the whole thing still sounds malignant at the same time. I mentioned it a few times after, when you delved into Black Metal, because I feel like it's a great starting point to get into the genre, based on my experience I guess. So yeah, glad you enjoyed it a little bit at least. :)

I enjoyed this one. Thanks

Congratulations you did a real good mtal band.

Please do Architects Doomsday! It's such a strong/emotional song if you know the backstory to it, I also think it'll make you want to check out more of their stuff. One of the best metalcore bands period

I had the chance to see once Dissection in live in France in 2005. It was a great show! Great musician.

This is a masterpiece! Unfortunately for others, they will never be able to experience this song live! The ambient build around this song is just epic!

React to Dissection - Thorns Of Crimson Death - Rebirth of Dissection 2004 HD. Please please please!!!! It is awesome.

I care about sparky and salty :)

This band got me through some rough times in my youth. This was the most listened song. Brings back so much memories...

This is an amazing song. So much feelings and "beauty" in it...

Thx for finally Dissection's reaction. They've a great story with satanism. Reinkaos is an album writing with a lot of MLO references.

Really great band actually

Jon Nödtveidt was one of the best guitarists in metal in the 90s and was born to write melodic black metal tunes.. amazing live gigs

A spell was cast..the sky turned red..the angels heart was froze to ice.. beautiful just beautiful

Great video guys,you really delved into the topic of the song and brought into real terms which is in contrast to their transcendal scope of the mastermind of chaos himself jon nodtveidt (the frontman) i think there was a missed opportunity to discuss jon himself in this video in relation to the concept here as he himself you could say was more than intrigued with darkness,I imagine you will discuss jon and his personal life further in another video,aswell as talk about how Watain came to be the ones to keep the flame jon started in his mortal life held to a high standard,this song is one of the lighter dissection songs actually,but with a band like dissection one song is not enough to know their whole art,But you did a good job of nailing the folky approach to this particular song,maha khali or the somberlain would be good songs of dissection for the future as they are more heavy and contrast to this one,I'm glad you didn't dislike the song even if you didn't really love it

Please, please, please, and PLEASE listen to Meshuggah 'New Millennium Cyanide Christ'....... maybe Vin will learn how to play air guitar better by watching this video...... be sure to do the official video version.....

When 'Storm of the light's bane' was released in 1995 (yeah, I remember this, I've bought it on the cassette), this song was referred as the first black metal ballad in history :)

Never thought I would see a reaction video of Dissection by you

Samael = antigod Emmure = solar flare homicide Testament = dog faced gods White zombie = blood milk and sky

Yo guys need to do Dark funeral - The Arrival of Satan Empire

I miss Jon everyday! He was a good friend and his musical talents was abowe all else.....

Thank you for this song of my childhood, she is 20 years old and i still see myself being subjugated by this classic, thanks again. Lethe from Dark Tranquility, please Sori.

Hail the mighty dissection!!!!!!!

That homeboy Jon was a dark soul. He committed suicide a while back. He was a deep dude.

I really love it when Vin dives into Theology and the Bible, I learn tons of cool stuff. So I will in that case recommend Dark Funeral - Open The Gates. Hopefully a good one for you guys.

I've been watching for awhile now and I enjoy how you both talk about the songs. I enjoy seeing your perspectives on them. If I may I have a couple song suggestions for you both to react to. First is Scarlet Letter, by Adestria. Second would be Kings of the Carnival Creation, by Dummy Borgir. I hope to see one soon, keep doing what you're doing.

Dissection Rules!

Inferi - behold the bearer of light

Solid. Surprised you did this one, but pleased.

you guys would have a field day with anything from dissection's most recent (and final, rip jon) album, Reinkaos. I'd recommend beyond the horizon, dark mother devine, god of forbidden light, and maha kali.

Candlemass - Samarithan

Wow🤘👹...great choice for a band,I first listen to this song in '98 from 'Death Is Just The Beginning 4' compilation tape...really awesome band,unfortunately jon nordveidt who's on guitars/vocals killed himself in the early '00s...

JUDAS PRIEST: "A Touch of Evil" or "Beyond the Realms of Death". NIGHTWISH: "Song of Myself", "Ghost Love Score" both Live at Wacken or "7 Days to the Wolves" Live at Wembley Arena...

React to Mayhem, Burzum or Bathory, plsss. It could be too heavy but.. Plsss

Yessss! Now you just need to hear Carcass...😊

Cradle Of Filth - Cruelty Brought The Orchids

Finally!!!!...not song I asked,but any Dissection song works.

Adding a connection to an older video you guys did, members of Dissection went on to play in Watain.
