Dissection – The Somberlain

The best version until now, compared with 2013 the end version, I’m sure this mastered with more details, fresh Hi-end, and wider sound stage， but the 2013 version with powerful bass-end, both great pressing, Avoid the BLR version btw.

The pop-up is adorable. I wasn't sure how it would be but it's just cute. Next there will be a Reinkaos pop-up reissue with a pop-up of jon kneeling in a circle of candles holding a Liber Azerate and a pistol.

Really good pressing. Great sound on my copy. Sound of metal albums released in Sweden in 90' is special.

is there an official digital download ?
I've purchased the vinyl but I'd like to have also in digital.

Why has it been considered an unofficial release? Was it like that from the very beginning?

For anyone wondering, this is a non-gatefold with no goofy pop-up. Much better.

Is this another overpriced reissue with a gimmicky pop-up shit like the last one ?

Or plain classic sleeve, as it should be ?

Sounds really good even though it's a picture disc. If you can find one for a reasonable price, I highly recommend.

Wholesale prices are outrageous, but hey you get a really stupid popup. Total boycott, everyone should refuse and deny. Btw, does anyone know who gets paid for totally overpriced The Somberlain releases these days?

Remaster is a wider sound stage and with louder bass but the tom toms and top-end of the guitars are noticeably distorted. Still easily better than the original Black Lodge versions which from suffered from runtime to side length issues - one side was 27 min long and the other 14 min (BLR later corrected the runtime to side issues, but they still didn’t have the Necrolord art etc). I have the Black Horizons / The End version from 2014 and I prefer that version - it’s not as loud and sounds more centered but doesn’t have the distortion issues on this version.
