Jon Andreas Nödtveidt (June 28, 1975August 13, 2006 [Dissection.nu [http://www.dissection.nu/ DISSECTION Official Website] ; retrieved 13 September 2008.] ) was a lead guitarist and vocalist of the Swedish blackened death metal band Dissection, which he founded in 1989.

Nödtveidt also performed in several other projects, including The Black (as Rietas), De Infernali, Nifelheim, Ophthalamia (as Shadow), Satanized, Siren's Yell, and Terror, a grindcore band which featured members of At the Gates.

He also appeared as a journalist in "Metal Zone", where he was responsible for keeping track of the growing black metal-scene.

He was an initiate and co-creator of the Misanthropic Luciferian Order, now known as Temple of the Black Light, and the Werewolf Legion, a Swedish gang, not to be confused with the Russion Werewolf Legion.

Nödtveidt was convicted of being an accessory to murder [Rock Detector [http://www.rockdetector.com/officialbio,2631.sm;jsessionid=5F5A8147F967FA47D6F665E0886AF683 DISSECTION: Rockdetector Biography] ; retrieved 6 July 6 2008.] , in the killing of the 38-year-old homosexual Algerian Josef Ben Meddour, in 1997. He was released from prison in 2004, and restarted Dissection.

On the 16th of August 2006, he was found dead in his apartment in Hässelby, a suburb of Stockholm by an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound inside a circle of lit candles.

Early reports indicated that he was found with an open copy of the "Satanic Bible", but these were later dismissed by Dissection's guitarist Set Teitan. According to him, "it's not any atheist, humanist and ego-worshiping 'Satanic Bible' by Anton LaVey that Jon had in front of him, but a Satanic Grimoire. He despised LaVey and 'The Church of Satan'." [Blabbermouth [http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=56947 DISSECTION Guitarist: JON NÖDTVEIDT Didn't Have Copy Of 'The Satanic Bible' At Suicide Scene] ; retrieved 9 September 2006.]

The said "Satanic Grimoire" is reputed to be the "Liber Azerate", one of the publishings of the Misanthropic Luciferian Order, from which Jon Nödtveidt apparently was influenced, his last album Reinkaos's lyrics being co-written by the very same man who wrote the Liber Azerate.

On August 19th, 2006, Jon's website publicly announced his suicide.
