Somberlain
The Somberlain is the debut studio album by Swedish black metal band Dissection, released on 3 December 1993 by No Fashion Records. It went on to become a highly influential release in black metal as a foundational work for the subgenre known as melodic black metal. It is the only studio album with guitarist John Zwetsloot, who was fired a year later.
The band dedicated the album to Euronymous, who had been murdered in August the same year. This is the only album that features the band's original lineup. The artwork was created by Kristian "Necrolord" Wåhlin. The album was composed and arranged between 1989 and 1993, and was recorded between 1 and 6 March 1993.
