Show Notes

After a brief hiatus for Labor Day, we're back with another album spotlight episode--Dissection: The Somberlain. For a band with such a brief career, they left a lasting impression and presence within the extreme metal scene still felt today. With their Storm of the Light's Bane album and At The Gates' Slaughter of the Soul, they effectively closed the door on what was thought possible in death metal. This is the time when many death metal acts were really shedding their extreme roots and venturing into more mainstream territory.

This episode we focus on their debut record, The Somberlain, a hungry, ambitious, fury of a album which injected elements of thrash, black metal and an obscene amount of melody.
