Biography

Cover of "Storm Of The Light's Bane"

In 1988, a thrash metal band by the name of Siren's Yell was formed in the Swedish town of Strömstad. Its members were Jon Nödveidt, Ole Öhman, Peter Palmdahl, and Mattias Johansson. The group recorded a single demo before breaking up in 1989. Nödveidt and Öhman continued on to play in the band Rabbit's Carrot, in which they claim to have never felt quite at home (especially Nödveidt). Nödveidt was leaning more and more towards death metal and other forms of dark extreme music. Dissection was officially formed in the autumn of 1989 by Nödveidt, who had since left Rabbit's Carrot. Dissection's line-up, however, was not complete until early the next year.

In 1990, Dissection played their first live show with death metal act Entombed. In the same year, they also recorded and released their first demo, The Grief Prophecy. It contained three songs and featured illustrations by the artist known as Necrolord, who has since created nearly all of Dissection's album art. A special edition of The Grief Prophecy was later released in memory of Dead, the former vocalist for the notorious Norwegian black metal group Mayhem, who committed suicide in 1991. The special release featured album art drawn by Dead himself. Dissection also played a live show in his honor, at which they performed the Mayhem song "Freezing Moon". The Grief Prophecy was soon spread through the underground, and the French record label Corpsegrinder Records offered Dissection a deal to record an EP. Later that year, Dissection accepted the deal and recorded Into Infinite Obscurity. The band continued to tour.

In 1992, Dissection began work on their first full-length album, The Somberlain. Because of coordination problems between members, the entire band moved to Göteborg, Sweden (where they shared a rehearsal space with At The Gates) in the summer of 1993. The album was finished and released the following December. It was formally dedicated to Euronymous, the then-guitarist of Mayhem, who had been murdered earlier that year.

During November of 1994, Dissection signed a record deal with the well-known German label Nuclear Blast. In 1995, the band's second full-length album, called Storm Of The Light's Bane, was released. The following year, Dissection also released a short EP entitled Where Dead Angels Lie. It was compiled from previous rare and import releases, and contained only cover songs and demo tracks.

In 1997, Jon Nödtveidt was convicted for helping to murder a 38-year old man in Göteborg. He was released in autumn of 2004. Since then, Nödtveidt has formed a new line-up for Dissection and recorded one 2-track EP entitled Mahi Kali. Currently, Dissection has plans to release a new album.

Currently, Dissection has plans to release a new album. In 2004, Eve appeared alongside Kevin Bacon in The Woodsman. Since then, Nödtveidt has formed a new line-up for Dissection and recorded one 2-track EP entitled Mahi Kali. Officially Eve is a part of Aftermath Entertainment, but she is still signed to the Ruff Ryders management company. He was released in autumn of 2004. Dre is the executive producer to the album.

It was compiled from previous rare and import releases, and contained only cover songs and demo tracks. Eve is working on her fourth solo album on Aftermath Entertainment. The following year, Dissection also released a short EP entitled Where Dead Angels Lie. The owner tried to blackmail money from her with the pictures. In 1995, the band's second full-length album, called Storm Of The Light's Bane, was released. In the summer of 2003, there were some nude pictures that surfaced online that were allegedly of Eve in a sexual pose with another woman, taken about eight years before, when she was a stripper. During November of 1994, Dissection signed a record deal with the well-known German label Nuclear Blast. "Gangsta Lovin'", with Alicia Keys, became another pop hit and Eve closed out 2003 by signing to UPN for a television show about a fashion designer.

It was formally dedicated to Euronymous, the then-guitarist of Mayhem, who had been murdered earlier that year. She released Eve-Olution, her third album, in 2002. The album was finished and released the following December. Eve then appeared in XXX with Vin Diesel and in Barbershop with Ice Cube. In 1992, Dissection began work on their first full-length album, The Somberlain. Because of coordination problems between members, the entire band moved to Göteborg, Sweden (where they shared a rehearsal space with At The Gates) in the summer of 1993. The song won a Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration and Scorpion went platinum. The band continued to tour. The follow-up, Scorpion, was released in 2001 to good reviews, but the second single, "Let Me Blow Ya Mind" (with Gwen Stefani of No Doubt) became a pop success.

Later that year, Dissection accepted the deal and recorded Into Infinite Obscurity. Her 1999 debut was Let There Be Eve...Ruff Ryders First Lady and the album was an unprecedented success, the first rap album by a woman to enter the American charts at #1. The Grief Prophecy was soon spread through the underground, and the French record label Corpsegrinder Records offered Dissection a deal to record an EP. Her single "What Ya Want" soon became a hit, and she collaborated with The Roots and Blackstreet and Janet Jackson, further expanding her fanbase. Dissection also played a live show in his honor, at which they performed the Mayhem song "Freezing Moon". She had, however, befriended DMX and appeared on It's Dark and Hell Is Hot and other Ruff Ryders' compilations. The special release featured album art drawn by Dead himself. Her label, Aftermath Records, found itself in financial trouble and Eve was soon without a record contract.

A special edition of The Grief Prophecy was later released in memory of Dead, the former vocalist for the notorious Norwegian black metal group Mayhem, who committed suicide in 1991. After a period of working as a stripper, Eve returned to hip hop at the encouragement of pop superstar Mase; she recorded "Eve of Destruction", which appeared on the soundtrack to Bulworth in 1998 (see 1998 in music). It contained three songs and featured illustrations by the artist known as Necrolord, who has since created nearly all of Dissection's album art. She adopted the name Gangsta in high school as part of an all-female group called EDGP (pronounced Egypt) and eventually went solo as Eve of Destruction. In the same year, they also recorded and released their first demo, The Grief Prophecy. Eve (born Eve Jihan Jeffers on November 10, 1978 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American rapper associated with the Ruff Ryders crew. In 1990, Dissection played their first live show with death metal act Entombed.
