Good luck, is all I can tell you. Zenor Records put out a reissue only a couple of years ago, which combined this album with their previous EP - but it didn't get very good distribution, apparently.

So, I checked this out. It's pretty good but definitely a Dissection clone (good Dissection, though).

I used to like Dissection. I can still listen to the somberlain from time to time, but when i put on storm of the light's bane it makes me cringe.

It's weird how you can like this and not like Storm of the Light's Bane. Of course I respect your opinion though.

Well I love everything about the album. I like The Somberlain a lot more though actually.

''i think it's the guitar tone.''



Guitar tone is only the skin of music.



Dissection's first two were musically better than this by far.

This only has great atmosphere, but the song's stracture was messed and the stream of music was so coercive.

Dissection's SOTLB definitely deserves all the praise it had gathered through the years. And why do some people try to prove that Sacramentum is "better than Dissection"? Well, it feels nice to be in a position of someone who "knows" a "lesser known, often forgotten gem".



In fact, Sacramentum have recorded a really good album but definitely not better than SOTLB.
