Sometime around the release of ''Storm,'' Nödtveidt joined the newly-formed Misanthropic Luciferian Order, a sect within the Temple of the Black Light. In 1997, Nödtveidt was charged as an accessory to murder and was sent to prison, and Dissection split. He was released in 2004, and reformed the band with an all-Satanist lineup, and they released their third and final album, Reinkaos.
