The Somberlain" is Dissection's first full-length album, and definitely their best release to date. The production fits the music extremely well, with the mix not sounding too clean, but showcasing a somewhat rawer and “colder” sound. The music is also very different from their older material (Reinkaos, Maha Kali, etc.), being more atmospheric and ‘passionate’, whereas their songs are more straightforward heavy metal/melodic death in their later work. “The Somberlain” is also Dissection’s last full-on black metal release, as “Storm Of The Light’s Bane” introduced the band’s further exploration into melodic death metal territory.
