Dissection - Starless Aeon
Band: Dissection was a Swedish black/death metal band founded in 1989 by Jon Nödtveidt. Pioneers of melodic black metal with occult, philosophical, and anti-cosmic themes, they evolved from raw early sound to polished, epic compositions. Nödtveidt took his own life in 2006 after completing their final album, cementing their cult status.
Song: From the 2006 album Reinkaos (their third and last). A majestic, melodic blackened death metal epic with soaring leads, crushing riffs, atmospheric keys, and Jon’s commanding vocals—exploring chaos, liberation from cosmic order, and transcendence in a “starless aeon.”
Fun fact: Reinkaos is widely regarded as Dissection’s masterpiece despite dividing purists (more melodic/death-influenced than classic black metal). Many fans call it one of the greatest metal albums ever, with “Starless Aeon” often praised as peak Jon Nödtveidt songwriting—timeless, emotional, and still giving goosebumps 18+ years later.

The seventh aeon will soon pass
As it has been foretold
The false empires will crumble
And all illusions shall be destroyed
The enslavers tremble with fear
Soon our stars align
The forbidden gates begin to open
By the power of our forceful sign
Daath, wisdom of the abyss
Is the key to the broken star
11 angles, pathways of chaos
Will bring forth our most wrathful god
Qliphothic forces from beyond
Will usurp the tree of cosmic lies
The sleeping dragon awakens
Smelling the elixir of sacrifice
Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet cosmos in favilla
Vocamus te, Aeshma Daeva
Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet cosmos in favilla
Vocamus te, Aeshma Daeva
Unfold the starless aeon
The hungry end is coming soon
Harbinger of the day of wrath
Will eclipse the sun and rape the moon
Snake will completely devour itself
Putting an end to the cycle of time
Acausal flames will burn to ashes
Erasing all signs of the demiurge's crime
Our dark gods of chaos will return
This time to rule forever supreme
The dragon mother will then resurrect
And end this cosmic dream
Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet cosmos in favilla
Vocamus te, Aeshma Daeva
Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet cosmos in favilla
Vocamus te, Aeshma Daeva
Dies irae
Solvet cosmos in favilla
Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet cosmos in favilla
Solvet cosmos in favilla (dies illa)
Aeshma Daeva
