"Fahrenheit is more natural to human perception of numbers, "35" being hot is dumb! 90 being hot is sensible."
yes but what about the cold? To me, the fundamental flaw of measuring temp in Fahrenheit is the point of freezing. It's damn cold and expect ice, snow and all that lark = zero, sensible. You will die if you go outside because it's absolute zero = zero, daft
I rest my case

Listened to this for the first time, great stuff but it feels overrated in comparison to some benchmarks from the '90s or beyond.

What 90's benchmarks are you comparing it to? Ace of Base?

Ace of Base? Ha good one!
Well, two that came immediately to mind, since this is essentially melodic/pseudo-progressive black/death metal with a bit of technical edge.
‘90s: Opeth My Arms, Your Hearse
2010s: Acrimonious Eleven Dragons
Feel free to disagree :-P

I was assuming you'd mention emperor or something, but yeah idk dissection, specifically this album was always a benchmark for me and one of the first bands I got into as a very young boi after graduating from slayer etc. I wasn't around when it actually came out though.

Emperor is not a black metal favourite of mine either, for what is worth.
Imho, Nordic black metal reached its peak in the late '90s/early naughts, Mayhem, Thorns etc.
About this album now, there are several patents that sound better in later albums, for instance the integration of acoustic guitars in the arrangements.

Oh man, I just found all my old CD's from when I was a teenager at my parent's house. I don't even remember what this sounds like. I know it's good though. Can't wait to listen when I get home. I might have to go on a rare black metal marathon.

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing a copy of Somberlain at my local library of all things, which is funny because they usually don't have much metal except for the biggest names.

Libraries coordinate their purchases of fringe stuff so there is only one of each material in the country - then they send them around to who needs them. Yours just got blessed with being the one that has Somberlain.

I feel like people would freak out If they knew what it was and it was in a library around where I live haha

Voivod, I can't see anything pseudo-progressive about this album. What do you refer to? There are no weird transistions, no odd time signatures, no dissonances, no keyboards or other electronics.

This feels musty in a Frank Frazetta poster on a wood paneled wall kinda way i dunno guys
