Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I totally agree and believe me I glow that album up quite a bit. It's been one of my favorite black metal albums for years.
@@ilves6664 nice, i'm a collector and have the Album in the original Digipack not the re-release Version with the Where dead Angels lie EP. That one i own as CD and Shape.
NB, even in the mid '90s, was a fairly large metal record label. Many of their releases could be purchased in stores by mid '90s. Some much earlier, depending on store and personnel. Was lucky enough to see them live with Morbid Angel on their tour in the States for Storm... Great show. Fantastic reviews, guys!
This is the first time I saw an album get 5 stars in the almost four years I've been subscribed here! I actually have Storm of the Light's Bane on my Watch Later playlist, so I guess I'll give it a listen sooner or later :)
I hope I'm not the only one who detected a distinct Dissection influence in the band Shylmagoghnar, especially the first album. As a fan of the first two Dissection albums, that made me happy.
I'm not a black metal fan but I do like the first 2 albums, Dissection is the exception, (nice rhyme huh?) they blended melodic death metal and black metal and came up with a pretty unique approach and sound. I just got into them after my friend blind played them for me and I was blown away. Great review and history lesson on this band.
I don't love it as much as the first two, but I do enjoy it a lot. I've always never understood why people either love or hate it. It's nowhere close to being a bad album.
First off, if you actually go digging into the history of the area and all that (not explaning it here), it actually gives good insight as to why so much evil stuff comes out of Scandinavia, doesnt redeem all the bad stuff that goes on, but it at least gives perspective. Ill be straight, i always listen to metal music, but i didnt really start digging into the more extreme stuff until the last 7 or so years, so there is a great deal i havent heard or experiences yet (which im working on), also Jon Nodtveidt was an extraordinary piece of work, and i always felt wrong giving his music a spin, just felt wrong. But I did give the first album a spin, and i will work on doing the second, but it really was excellent as much as i hate to say it. When Black Metal expands its boundries and gets really riffy, and mixes in folk flavors, and orchestral elements to go with the tremelo picking and abrasive vocals, it really is something special.
As someone who's still getting into Death Metal (I've enjoyed Obituary, Death, Morbid Angel, Edge of Sanity, a few others), and has never got into Black Metal... Storm of the Light's Bane is the ONLY black metal album I have ever enjoyed. It's Thrashy and thanks to your background information on the band it makes sense why! I love the acoustic bits, I actually enjoy the vocals too which is rare in black metal for me. Still need to listen to the debut though!
I also liked the Reinkaos Album since Day One. I judge every Dissection Album as a different Beast. Yes the last Album was controversial discussed but as the years goes by more and more people like it
I have the first two albums and the compilation titled The Past Is Alive : The Early Mischief. Consisting of demos. The Somberlain is my favorite. I like the more rawish sound it has. Like Marduk's album Those Of the Unlight. Which also was released in 93. Storm of the light's Bane is great too. That's my cutoff point.
Ole Öhman really needs to get almost as much credit as Jon himself on SotLB especially; what an excellent drummer! 🤘👌 ..and I agree with Shredlord; 'Thorns of Crimson Death' is also definitely my favorite Dissection track.. 🤗
Storm of the Light’s Bane is a top 3 all-time metal album for me. Flawless masterpiece. The Somberlain is also incredible, and I’ve never understood the hate for Reinkaos. I think it’s a great listen as well. So glad you guys did these reviews. Dissection simply doesn’t get talked about enough for how incredible they were at their peak
Great band, wish things went differently and we had more albums to enjoy from them but glad we have the first two masterpieces and even Reinkaos which I've grown to like more over the years.
Awesome retrospective on one of the greatest metal bands of all time, Dissection. Yes, Jon Nödtveidt was a controversial and troubled individual which is unfortunately common in black metal; but if you could look past that he was a highly talented songwriter and guitarist. Dissection was one of the leading bands that combined the accessibility of melodic death metal with the bleakness and harshness of black metal. Reinkaos was a disappointment minus a few songs. However, Storm of the Light’s Bane was a 10/10 masterpiece that I can listen to constantly and the Somberlain was an incredible debut. Truly a legendary band for their 90’s albums.
This will be a very interesting retrospective! Haven’t listened to Dissection in a long time (you can probably guess why), but with the historical context of when each record was released, I might revisit the first two albums.
Necrotic Nick- This was one I've been wanting to do for years. The first 2 albums are among my favorite black metal releases ever but with Jon's history (which we definitely go into) it's a very tarnished legacy.
Where Dead Angels Lie was one of the first extreme metal songs I ever heard, along with Hypocrisy's Apocalypse. Couldn't have asked for a better start! \m/ To me, a well done review and recap, thank you for that! I agree with everything said relating to Dissection's music and their members, for sure!
Best black metal band ever in my opinion. The Somberlain and Storm of the Light’s Bane is some of the best the genre has to offer. I barely listen to black metal anymore but Dissection is one of the few bands that still blows my mind
Now I kinda wanna see you guys do a career retrospective/trolling of the merry men of Mayhem and their Satanic shenanigans, and if there's time, their "music" I can't be alone in this.
Storm of the lights Bane is the masterpiece of Dissection but the Somberlain is fantastic too, love the Coverartwork. Reminds me of Bram Stokers Dracula. I remember buying Reinkaos in 2006 and was excited to hear the Record and was totally disappointed.
The Somberlain is incredible but, Storm of the Lights Bane is a 10/10 legendary masterpiece! Reinkaos isn't bad but it pales in comparison to their first two albums by a LOT. I love these throwback retro reviews! (I'd love to see a retro review of Turn Loose The Swans!)
We have to set the artist value apart from their personnal actions. In my opinion Dissection despite its brief period in activity,yet was able to build a strong discography like no other in heavy music. The mainly plague I see over the band career it is itself vocalist and mastermind of whom it relied on being rebuilt and automatically early demise of it later.
A physical copy of Storm of the Light’s Bane was a difficult one to track down, but one day it was on the used section of the record shop. Bought it pretty much immediately.
Dissection is easily in my top 10 favorite black metal bands. The Somberlain and Light's Bane are both masterpieces in their own right. Reinchaos tbh I always forget about lmao
Storm of the Light's Bane is an S-tier album. For me it’s on same tier Sons of Northern Darkness and Filosofem. Erblicket die Töchter des Firmaments will always be the goat black-metal song, but Where Dead Angels Lie and Tyrants are nipping at its heels…
Great in depth video, but can't agree on the closing comments regarding Burzum. Yes, Varg is controversial, however.....albums such as Hvis lyset tar oss and Filosofem are landmarks of ambient BM. Just saying \m/
SHREDS BACK!! He brings the humor!! Any chance you guys could occasionally talk MICHIGAN FOOTBALL since youre near there and theyre NATIONAL CHAMPIONS and thats METAL AF!!??? GO BLUE
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! Yeah, around this time or at least during months where there aren't a tremendous amount of new releases we try to work in a fair amount of these. I think Intestine Baalism is supposed to release a new album this year so we may have to wait on that one now.
I don't think Nödtveidt screaming about (and living up to) his beliefs is any more ridiculous than Hollywood actor Ice-T shouting about how he's gonna shoot someone for talking shit in Body Count. Generally, I like my artists to actually believe the things they crow about.
Jon Nodtveidt, is up there with, Hetfield, Hanneman, Schuldiner, Azagthoth, Iommi, as one of the greatest riff/songwriters in metal history in my book.
Great video, interesting that you made the regular Metallica references, as to me Dissections career is very similar, started off great and turned to shit, also definitely agree on the separating the art from the artist. Cheers!!
Storm of the Light's Bane is a top 5 metal album of any genre. Dissection It's not really purely black metal. It's like mixing swedish metal acts like bathory, emtombed, in flames, at the gates, and mixing it with thrash metal and Iron Maiden.
YO HOLY FREAKING CRAP, LET'S GOOOO !!!!!! Storm of the Light's Bane is in my list of favorite albums of all time. It's such a cold, melodic death, black metal MASTERPIECE!!! Also tha thumbnail says it all, Nick's favorite is definitely Reinkaos 😂😂 Ans I'll even say it, Reinkaos is not that bad of an album, but compared to the other 2, yeah it just wasn't that good...
Necrotic Nick- Yeah, this one has been long overdue. 2 of my favorite black metal albums ever... and then the other one which exists lol. I'm not going to spoil it but there's definitely a rant coming on this one lol.
Shows how well earlier Dissection has aged considering Shredlord hasn’t heard the albums and rates them very high. Don’t like Reinkaos at all… still baffles my mind.
This is great. First two albums are freaking awesome and untouchable. But I HATED Reinkaos when it cam out and 10 years after. However, I am not sure what happened about 5 years ago I started to actually like Reinkaos. I just pretend its not a Dissection album and hiw much of a let down it is and its more enjoyable,😂.
Ooo, I'm hyped for this! SoTLB is a fantastic masterpiece, but The Somberlain is sometimes overshadowed by it, while having just as great highlights (I actually come back to it more often than Storm)! Both amazing! \m/ Unfortunately, Jon then joined a cult for realz & did some horrible shit, so I ain't giving Reinkaos a chance, but based on evry1's opinions I ain't missing much 💁.
Necrotic Nick- I love the first 2 (spoiler alert... but I think I've gushed about both before on here) and I'd put them both on a Mt. Rushmore of 90's Black Metal essentials. Yeah, the sordid history of the band (well... Jon at least) definitely puts a blemish on the band's legacy.
I would (somewhat) understand a band in 2025 naming themselves Rabbit’s Carrot because so many good names are taken, but to be a metal band in the heyday and go with that…😂
It's to bad john nodtveidt had to be a dumbass and end his career early he was such a talented songwriter the way he structured those song s was fantastic storm of the lights bane is up there with one of the best black metal albums ever
@@thrallsofmetal This. Storm of the Lights Bane sounds amazing. But what a piece of crap he was. I appreciate that you dissect Art and Artist here as well.
Melodic black metal masters who's career not only was short-lived, but created 3 killer albums that are a foundational act in extreme music history. I will say The Somberlain out of the three albums is my personal favorite because of how raw, unfiltered, chaotic, Melodic and almost death metal styled sounding that album was going for and course Storm The Lights Bane is a masterpiece, brilliant songwriting, amazing arrangements, lurky atmospheric passages and the song Soulreaper is a perfect representation that black metal doesn't need to be satanic and blasphemous, but a beautifully crafted portrait to understand the band's imagery and detail. Can't wait to see this retrospective review on a band that meant alot to the melodic black/ death metal scene that other bands like Thulcandra, Old Mans Child, Unanimated, UADA, and many more following Dissection's footsteps should be loud and proud.
Necrotic Nick- I'll give you 2 out of the 3 but I'd still call most of their music legendary and standard setting for melodic black metal in particular. The Somberlain is amazing and definitely the one I go to if I want to hear a bit more of their death metal roots but Storm of the Light's Bane is pretty much the goat for me. That's one of the finest black metal albums ever in my opinion. This one was long overdue for us as I love to bring up Dissection whenever I hear really melodic, riffy black metal.
Reinkaos grew with me over the years. But it is obviously their weakest. I consider this heavy metal album not bm obviously. 7/10. The rest is 10/10 both.
I would agree with pretty much everything in this review…first two albums are great and the worship bands they inspired are usually killer. Jon was trash, good riddance. I actually have still not listened to Reinkhaos or however it’s spelled…just not interested, I’ll stick with the two good ones!
Storm of the Lights Bane is the best black metal albums ever written imo. I'm really happy to see Y'all reveiw this.
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I totally agree and believe me I glow that album up quite a bit. It's been one of my favorite black metal albums for years.
@@thrallsofmetalI got Storm lights bane 2lp on vinyl. Black Metal classic album my opinion 😮😊
@@ilves6664 nice, i'm a collector and have the Album in the original Digipack not the re-release Version with the Where dead Angels lie EP. That one i own as CD and Shape.
Shredlord's cool. He should be on ToM more often.
I hate him, he smells of ham.
So should Rin
@@spencergrady736 That just makes me like him more. Ham is fuckin' delicious.
I make love to a ham every Christmas
@@ashleybrown4754 That's true, I wasn't thinking straight. More Shredlord!!!!
Great video.
Looking forward to more like this.
Yeah I’m not too big on black metal but dissection and Bethlehem will always have a special place in my heart
great review and bio. I didnt know all that about the band
NB, even in the mid '90s, was a fairly large metal record label. Many of their releases could be purchased in stores by mid '90s. Some much earlier, depending on store and personnel.
Was lucky enough to see them live with Morbid Angel on their tour in the States for Storm... Great show.
Fantastic reviews, guys!
Great video, guys. I realized Dissection inspired one of my favorite bands Gates Of Ishtar. I think, you would enjoy reviewing them too. Cheers! 🤘
This is the first time I saw an album get 5 stars in the almost four years I've been subscribed here!
I actually have Storm of the Light's Bane on my Watch Later playlist, so I guess I'll give it a listen sooner or later :)

Some great retro picks from you guys - excellent subjects. No need for trigger warnings.
Excellent Review!
The Somberlain is one of my favourite albums ever. Storm of the Lights Bane is also a masterpiece. Reinkaos while a step down is also great.
Necrotic Nick- Those first 2 are flat out masterpieces in my mind. Reinkaos... well... it exists.
I'm not a black metal fan but I do like the first 2 albums, Dissection is the exception, (nice rhyme huh?) they blended melodic death metal and black metal and came up with a pretty unique approach and sound. I just got into them after my friend blind played them for me and I was blown away. Great review and history lesson on this band.
Have the Somberlain now gotta get Storm of the Lights Bane. Great review guys!
I'm in the minority that I love Reinkaos as much as the other two classics
Looking forward to this retro review!
Necrotic Nick- I know that Reinkaos has it's fans... but I'm not one of them lol.
Reinkaos is basically a melodic death metal album. Fans didn’t know how to react to it but years later it’s pretty good.
I don't love it as much as the first two, but I do enjoy it a lot. I've always never understood why people either love or hate it. It's nowhere close to being a bad album.

Great video, only one thing: Eric Danielson played with them on their last tour and in a lot of ways his band Watain continued the Dissection sound.
Love to see some black metal on this channel, i think the somberlain may be the best second wave black metal album.
Holy shit this is going to be good. Emperor and Dissection are the reasons why I got into black metal.
So happy yall did this. Storm of the lights bane is one of my favorite albums ever. Iron Maiden+ second wave black metal done so well
Dissection are one of the most important bands in extreme metal. Storm of the Lights Bane is a 10/10!
As someone who's still getting into Death Metal (I've enjoyed Obituary, Death, Morbid Angel, Edge of Sanity, a few others), and has never got into Black Metal... Storm of the Light's Bane is the ONLY black metal album I have ever enjoyed.

Storm of the light's bane is easily one of the greatest black metal albums! I'm really glad y'all reviewed this!
Reinkaos is THE mandatory melodeath record, and i will, upon request, defend that statement at great length and surprising depth.
Great band, wish things went differently and we had more albums to enjoy from them but glad we have the first two masterpieces and even Reinkaos which I've grown to like more over the years.
One of the best bands ever!
Necrotic Nick- I'm a huge fan of their music... well... most of it at least.
Would LOVE to hear you guys talk about Leviathan. Scar Sighted is my favorite BM album of all time!

First two albums undeniable classics, but finally two people that feel the same way about Reinkaos. My friends love it but I never understood why.
Thorns of crimson death is one of the greatest black metal songs of all time.
