I agree with Lord Chimp, though the album shows its age. I have a very hard time giving it more than 4 because of Friden's vocals... they're really bad. Don't expect In Flames from him yet. I want to give it a 3 because of the vocals, but the music just pulls it up over the top.
Musically... brilliant. Overall I still prefer the newest releases; industrial-metal mixes are my thing, but this is as solid as you get, and for a first album... outclasses anything I could do myself. ...

In my opinion, this has more in common with Dissection than In Flames and later Dark Tranquility. Blast beats, black metal vocals, and shredding solos reminds me alot of Storm of the Lights Bane. All of the songs are great, and Anders Friden shows up to sing on Skydancer, while Mikael Stanne shows up for Of Chaos and Eternal Night. Overall, however, I like Of Chaos and Eternal Night better, as it has a more refined sound.
Check out Dissection and early Sentenced if you enjoyed this album.

Songs like A Bolt of Blazing Gold ...

On historical importance one should not overlook _Skydancer_, but the musical value of this exceptional debut is most noteworthy. Released in 1993, _Skydancer_ was a seminal melodic death metal album. But the early music of Dark Tranquillity has only broad technical attributes in common with the 'melodeath' with which most are familiar. For that matter, it barely resembles Dark Tranquillity's own music of late. Dark Tranquillity's early path was paved with Swedish death metal influences, progressive metal, ...
