I had purchased SOTLB first, and then I had heard the Somberlain in a friend's car one night. I am a HUGE fan of SOTLB, but in all honesty I really think this album best personifies the sound that Dissection was going for. The mental image that appears to me when listening to SOTLB is Jon and his band mates playing on a mountain top in a frozen land, dark empty forests below, chanting their evil song. Chilling. When I hear the Somberlain, it sounds to me like they're in some ancient castle preaching ...

I got this album after I got Storm Of The Light's Bane, so I am comparing this to Storm Of The Light's Bane.
The production is definitely more garage than Storm Of The Light's Bane, but the guitars are still recognizably Dissection, and the drumming is for the most part the same, except Ole Ohman doesn't use as many blastbeats in this debut.
The songwriting is a bit raw compared to SOTLB, but it is still way up there. It achieves atmospheric heights in songs like Black Horizons, ...

Dissection is a Legendary Metal band who only has two full length releases that are both praised as classics. The Somberlain is the first release of the two. This is truly a dark and wonderful album. The Somberlain has some of the most sorrowful guitar riffs I've ever heard. This is a long album with epic songs and stays entertaining all the way through. Almost every track contains some great acoustic passages, a lot of time changes and great keyboard work. The production is perfect! Not under or over produced ...

I stopped listening to black and death metal many years ago for various reasons. But there are two albums that I always keep returning to, one of them is Entombed's "Wolverine Blues" and the other one is Dissection "Somberlain".
This is a unique album, and a true masterpiece. I've listened to hundreds of black metal bands but none of them could ever compare with Dissection, and this album is thier best work. It's dark, powerful, melodic and simply beautiful. It's well written, well performed and well produced. ...

Truly great black metal from Sweden recorded in 1993. The songs are complex, fast, melodic and hugely powerful due to the good production. The vocals are nasty, sounding a bit like Abbath from Immortal channelling Quorthon.
But Dissection add something unique to the black metal mix, a melodic sense unique to themselves and not found in other black or extreme metal bands. Interspersed are three short acoustic songs which break up the onslaught and show the bands classical roots/abilities. Great musicianship ...
