Album "Storm Of The Light' Bane" plus "The Somberlain" are best scrapbooks DISSECTION.
DISSECTION is unfeigned jewel Swedish Melodic Death Metal!

Truly one of the greatest albums of all time. Every aspect of this album puts forth incredible emotion into the listener. Quite possibly as close to a flawless album as anyone will ever get. If you haven't heard this, you need to. Right now.

One of the best albums of its era, One of the biggest pieces of my CD collection, Storm of the Light's Bane is one of the greatest albums ever made in extreme metal.

This and At The Heart Of Winter are easily my favorite black metal albums of all time.

This, along with Nemesis Divina and The Work Which Transforms God for me.
If this album is THE black metal album, then Where Dead Angel Lie is THE black metal song for me.

I love the band's debut album as well, but I prefer Storm of the Light's Bane by a margin. This album basically has one of my favourite ever extreme metal songs ("Thorns of Crimson Death", which I instantly found memorable, and the others are almost just as brilliant too.

When I first started listening black metal 15- 20 years ago it was a precious masterpiece to me, I was really proud of having this album resting on my CD rack.
This album became very average to me after listening more than few hundreds of black metal through these years. What can I say...competition and elimination.

Well it's, like, discussion you know? I think it's an interesting point that one of the most revered black metal albums in history is actually more of a melodeath one.

Well, they've always sounded black to me, both Somberlain and this one. Not that I'm very good with genres, though. Black metal-esque image, atmosphere; I think the fact that they came from Sweden is one of the main things that separates them from the Scandinavian black wave of that time.

I agree, black image, vocals, production, lyrics (I imagine) but musically I get a distinct melodeath thing here. Even more so with their last album.

I heard Dissection when I was at my highest Melodic Death stage in 1998-2000.
And it sounded too BM for me - in fact I was shocked. Given it came out in 1993 I was expecting more something along the lines of Lunar Strain or The Gallery or Terminal Spirit Disease or even Spectral Sorrows. It most certainly was not and I had obviously wasted $30 buying the Somberlain CD (I have also heard this one a couple of times but didn't bother buying it after the initial purchase of the Somberlain).
I can see it's not true Black Metal. But it certainly has a more Black "vibe". I think Melodic BM is far more appropriate than Melodic DM.

I actually agree with you entirely here. I'd call this album MBM, but never a pure MDM album. There are definitely elements of melodic death in here, however the drumming style, the chord structures and chord progression as well as the production, theme, and vocals are all predominantly "black metal". I used to know how to play the entire album on guitar, and it was very very similar to playing something along the lines of Emperor or Rotting Christ (earlier), just more melodic and accessible sounding.

"The Somberlain" and "Storm Of The Light's Bane" are MBM. "Reinkaos" is MDM (and the album sucks).

One of the more pointless genre debates - is Dissection melodic black metal or melodic death metal? There's no one or the other with the first two albums, as both have elements of black and death metal.

Agreed, that's the very reason why I love the first two albums that much. The balance is almost perfect and the band plays on the strength of both genres.
