Nicke Andersson admitted in the recent book about the history of Death Metal & Grindcore Choosing Death that after his relationship with Johnny Hedlund had grown ever more acrimonious, he had deliberately split the band up as a means of parting company with him. The last lineup of Nihilist minus Hedlund then reformed under the new name of Entombed, whilst Hedlund formed his own band Unleashed in reply.
