Can we get a HELL YEAH for Dissection - The Somberlain?

[MadeInNewJersey]

I mean seriously, does a better slice of blackened thrash exist? The answer in short, is no.

 

[Caelum Adustum]

THE SOMBERLAIN

I saw somewhere that infinite vinyl may be releasing it soon.

...Fear the Return!!!

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

For whatever reason, this disc has been in my car for the better part of 2 weeks. On repeat.

 

[NAD]

I can't decide if I like The Somberlain or Storm of the Light's Bane the most. But At the Fathomless Depths / Night's Blood is one of the best god damn songs ever done, metal or not.

Recording to start in September with Peter Tägtgren.

When I first "discovered" Dissection, I bought Storm just because that was the one you were supposed to love, it being more well-known and all. Of course I loved it. But I have to say, now that I've heard them both a zillion times each, The Somberlain is a much better album (IMO of course).

"Heaven's Damnation" has quite possibly my favorite merging of evil lead guitar riff & drum blasting.

 

[Black Winter Day]

yep, it's a fuckin classic. definitely driving music.

 

[JayKeeley]

*pulls The Somberlain off the shelf*

 

[J.]

I like both, but SotLB is the better album.

 

[Nate The Great]

Dreamlord speaks the truth.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Figures you 2 buffoons would be wrong.

 

[Hell Mike]

HELL YEAH! (This sentence fools the caps-thingy)

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

You'll get more than a hell yea from be on both Dissection albums, although i dont actually know what that would be. The Somberlain may be my favorite album ever. That CD was in my CD player for like a year straight after i bought it. Although i think a favor it ever so slightly over SOTLB, i still think there both brilliant albums.

 

[BenMech]

I'm split halfway between Somberlain and Storm (and the demos album!!!)

However, De Infernali sucks.

 

[J.]

Yeah, I have The Past is Alive. For demo songs, it's actually quite good.

I also have the Where Dead Angels Lie MCD.

Dream, where'd you locate that MCD? I assume you're talking about having the original, right? I only have the re-packaged add-on to the digipack for SOTLB.

 

[J.]

yeah, I have the original MCD, not the add-on. I bought it used at a local store for like $5.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Nice, I'd like to locate one of those...

 

[NAD]

I have one too, picked it up sealed copy at a local music store several years back. Snoogins.

 

[Tranquillian]

Definitely in my top 2 albums by Dissection list. Storm is still slightly better, no album has a better three in a row song line-up: Retribution - Storm of the light's bane followed by Thorns of crimson death followed by Soulreaper.

 

[R.I.P.2]

TS > SOTLB

They're both fucking good, though.
