Spread across two LPs with an accompanying booklet, The Somberlain is the 1993 debut where Dissection first fused black metal's chill with the melodic precision of Swedish death metal.
Built around guitarist and vocalist Jon Nödtveidt, the band recorded the album in under a week at Unisound with Dan Swanö engineering, and released it through No Fashion Records. It is the only studio album featuring the original lineup, with John Zwetsloot adding rhythm and classical guitar, and its icy cover painting by Kristian "Necrolord" Wåhlin became part of the visual language of the era.
Opener "Black Horizons" sets the template, racing through tremolo-picked melodies and galloping thrash rhythms before breaking into haunting harmonised leads. The title track "The Somberlain" broods and builds with real menace, while "Frozen" and "A Land Forlorn" thread classical-sounding melodies through the blizzard of riffs, balancing savagery with a mournful kind of beauty. Acoustic passages scattered through the record let the darkness breathe between the blasts.
Often overshadowed by its follow-up, Storm of the Light's Bane, this album has earned its own devoted following as one of the founding texts of melodic black metal.
For extreme metal collectors, this double LP gives those long, winding compositions plenty of room to unfold.
