Currently, Dissection has plans to release a new album. Greg Lake has toured the USA with Ringo Starr in 2002. Since then, Nödtveidt has formed a new line-up for Dissection and recorded one 2-track EP entitled Mahi Kali. Drummer Carl Palmer tours on an irregular basis with his Carl Palmer Band, playing electric guitar adaptations of ELP's keyboard work in the club circuit. He was released in autumn of 2004. Keith Emerson has been touring Britain with his old bandmates from The Nice during 2003. In 1997, Jon Nödtveidt was convicted for helping to murder a 38-year old man in Göteborg. Lake admitted that he did not train his voice: a few live shows were generally enough to get it in shape, he claimed.

It was compiled from previous rare and import releases, and contained only cover songs and demo tracks. Keith Emerson complained in public (on the internet) that although he and Carl Palmer worked out on a daily basis to maintain their musical skills, Greg Lake hardly took effort to do the same. The following year, Dissection also released a short EP entitled Where Dead Angels Lie. Greg Lake insisted on producing the next album, having produced all successful ELP albums in the early 70s. In 1995, the band's second full-length album, called Storm Of The Light's Bane, was released. Conflicts about a new album inspired a new and final break up. During November of 1994, Dissection signed a record deal with the well-known German label Nuclear Blast. Their last show was in San Diego, California, in 1998.

It was formally dedicated to Euronymous, the then-guitarist of Mayhem, who had been murdered earlier that year. However enjoyable these tours were, ELP played in significantly smaller venues for significantly smaller audiences. The album was finished and released the following December. Their tour schedules brought them to Japan, South America, Europe, the USA and Canada and ELP played fresh new versions of older work. 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 last ELP tours were in 1996, 1997 and 1998. The band continued to tour. Emerson and Palmer recovered to tour again.

Later that year, Dissection accepted the deal and recorded Into Infinite Obscurity. So it was no surprise that the follow up album In the Hot Seat (1994) did not live up to expectations. The Grief Prophecy was soon spread through the underground, and the French record label Corpsegrinder Records offered Dissection a deal to record an EP. But, reportedly, Palmer suffered from carpal tunnel syndrome and Emerson has been treated for a repetitive stress disorder in one hand. Dissection also played a live show in his honor, at which they performed the Mayhem song "Freezing Moon". Their 1992/1993 world tours were successful, culminating in a splendid performance at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles in early 1993 that has been heavily boot-legged. The special release featured album art drawn by Dead himself. The original ELP lineup then reformed in 1991 and issued a come-back album, Black Moon, in 1992.

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. (Palmer declined to participate in a reunion, preferring to stay with Asia.) In 1987, Emerson and Palmer joined with Robert Berry to form the band 3. It contained three songs and featured illustrations by the artist known as Necrolord, who has since created nearly all of Dissection's album art. In 1986, Emerson and Lake formed another "ELP" band with heavy metal drummer Cozy Powell. In the same year, they also recorded and released their first demo, The Grief Prophecy. Their last studio album of the 1970s, Love Beach (1978), was dismissed even by the trio itself, who admitted it was delivered to fulfill a contractual obligation. In 1990, Dissection played their first live show with death metal act Entombed. Eventually they drifted apart due to personality conflicts and irreconcilable differences concerning musical direction.

Dissection's line-up, however, was not complete until early the next year. But as disco, punk rock and new wave styles began to alter the musical landscape, ELP could no longer generate the excitement of being forerunners in musical innovation. Dissection was officially formed in the autumn of 1989 by Nödveidt, who had since left Rabbit's Carrot. These late-'70s tours found ELP working harder than ever to stay in touch with their audience. Nödveidt was leaning more and more towards death metal and other forms of dark extreme music. The band toured the US and Canada in 1977 and 1978 on a killing schedule of night after night performances — some with a full orchestra, which was a heavy burden on the tour revenues. 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). The 1977 album Works is a testimony to their craftmanship, but ELP had lost contact with the changing musical scene.

The group recorded a single demo before breaking up in 1989. ELP then took a three-year break to reinvent their music — but they failed. Its members were Jon Nödveidt, Ole Öhman, Peter Palmdahl, and Mattias Johansson. (It was the same sympathetic organ every time, called the L100, that was repaired overnight for the next show.) Their roadie at the time was Lemmy, who gave Emerson the knife that was used to force the keys on the organ to stay down instead of the screwdriver that Emerson had been forcing between keys for the purpose. In 1988, a thrash metal band by the name of Siren's Yell was formed in the Swedish town of Strömstad. Their extravagant and often aggressive live shows received much criticism in this regard — although in retrospect it was all rather small change compared to later rock spectacles: the theatrics were limited to a Persian carpet, a spinning grand piano, a few bangs on huge Chinese cymbals and a Hammond organ being molested on stage. Dissection is a well-known Swedish melodic black metal band formed in 1989 by guitarist and vocalist Jon Nödveidt. Their style came in for heavy abuse from critics; a popular joke of the time went, "How do you spell pretentious? ...ELP." Onstage the band exhibited an unorthodox mix of virtuoso musicianship and over-the-top theatrical bombast.
