Watain - The Somberlain (Dissection cover) live 16 May 2007 at Jaxx in Springfield, Virginia

This is from the Watain show on 16 May 2007 at Jaxx (Northern Virginia / Washington DC area). This song is a cover of the Dissection song The Somberlain. I'm sorry the video is cut short about 5 minutes in, but my memory card became full at that point.

[@matthewjacobs3744]

Well, there were maybe 30 people at the show, no one knew who Watain was at the time. I was there right in front of Erik with my hand up the entire song, screaming inside at the fact I finally was able to hear it live with 2 of the remaining members of Dissection.

[@simplygus103]

Matthew Jacobs man you really lived a dream that night.

[@Damien-qr5gz]

Erik is not an ex member, he was live bass player for a short run of shows before Dissection's split.

[@arielclissantossousa6328]

Apenas Set

[@abbath1586]

Paying tribute to a friend.

[@witcherismyname06]

This beautiful silence calls me now

[@thanatonaut]

I fucking love this song and Watain!!! Hail Dissection, Hail Watain!!!

[@mattsanchez7432]

A beautiful moment

[@Pussinator.69]

I don't know about you guys but to me this song and Waters of Ain are two dear songs which I always love and adore.

[@chikiricki1986]

Me too. Hails from morroco

[@Chris-jg3km]

Waters of ain is a black metal masterpiece no doubt

[@brucewayne_earth-2290]

Yes, the lyrics of both the songs have the same theme.

[@theuniesteyn733]

Great video! And a good cover. Respect to Watain for keeping the legacy of Dissection alive.

[@Qutrub]

It's 12 years no fucking way I came back here for the memories

[@Millyshyn]

That's amazing that they played that, really wish I was there.

[@hellcorpses]

Respect watain for dissection

[@abbath1586]

R.I.K JON. Also this must have brought back memories from the Rebirth of Dissection tour for Set.

[@pariskotsaros]

best thing watain have done

[@AnekaVisual]

wow 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@r3dv31v31]

Добро! То и без това Set и Ерик са си били членове на Dissection... Нищо чудно, че е толкова добър кавър.. :)

[@timekillerrr]

i like how the guy calls them a dissection rip off when there covering a dissection song. there not calling it there own. and watain is fuckin awesome

[@mikebott6940]

utterly true.

[@ErikaLioness]

i fucking love this song i fucking love Dissection and i fucking love Watain!!!!

[@SatiDevi444]

In my opinion this is the only band that should play a cover of Jon's work... Seeing as Set was in the band and they follow the same beliefs... Jon would be very proud of this performance and not for any other band.

[@Damien-qr5gz]

Tish Orth bullshit, he'd respect Mayhem and Atilla doing the same, all you Watain fanboyz n gurlz are pushing the limits here

[@fredchet2523]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5m2l3RsnZiFack shut up tish !!! if you're just able to pose like a silly little chest forward and a depressive teenager and tell bullshit, then go back to shit at the arch enemy or cradle of filth !

[@karankathayat6318]

Eric Danielsson was a member of Dissection too I think! Also, Gorgoroth's drummer, his name escapes my mind!

[@nicolasguerra1045]

The only band that can play the somberlain with the correct tune

[@bannedfromisrael]

Nicolás Guerra 👌

[@Damien-qr5gz]

No, Dissection.

[@peeptobyveidttheo]

Because set is there lol

[@Qutrub]

AMAZING INDEED!!!!

[@Thermagoth]

Dissection is the best band ever

[@florin8049]

I mean, two of them were in Dissection, i fully respect and love the band, but some details in this song, and i get it, Black Metal (speaking in general here) is supposed to be very rough and un-polished in a way, but personally, i am a perfectionist myself and i am a bit ashamed to say it, but i personally think this cover sounds a bit strange, in a good way, because i have listened to this song way too many times and i play guitar and the little details that the song consists of are imbeded into my mind, which can be a very bad thing in some circumstances, and these make the song sound rather bizzare for me at least, but again, i absolutly love it and the band. Please do not be mad at me, guys, just here to express both my massive respect and admirance for these guys! Take what i say with a grain of salt :D

[@shadowskey666]

watian is cool as hell, i like their album lawless darkness... but this cover doesnt cut it for me. his vocals arent in the same range as jon nodtveidt, thats the only flaw i see in this song. but watain is kickass in their own way

[@hellcorpses]

Dissection legacy

[@abbath1586]

yea i kinda had a feeling cause he was playing it like at the rebirth of dissection concert

[@chikiricki1986]

No words

[@blodbotina]

@miketbf it's the song's lyrics actually.

[@skullfission]

Yeah that's Set Teitan ex-Aborym and played on The Return of Dissection tour

[@Xemtoth]

I agree

[@French_Raccoon]

Anyone have this on mp3?

[@slayerbbk]

@RapeJesus Erik did backing vocals on some of the Reinkaos tracks

[@MultiZoXx]

Brother Set

[@Dimdez]

I love their stage presence, so sanctuary like, and it's probably better then Gorgoroth's but I don't know, they both have good live stages... Hails

[@rhesusminus7303]

Hur många gånger har Hoffa satt på den här låten på fyllan?

[@Maciej19910192]

watain.. very fucking great band!

[@ulysses777]

what happened to Erik's voice?

[@neveus]

THE BEST CROWD LIVE IN SOUTHAMERICA ( CHILE) D=

[@BodomSouldarkness]

The version of the versions...

[@jackdevainee7125]

where is the rest of the song?

[@metalmichew2]

got a bit of a question here, is this with Set and Selim at the same time? that would be absolutley perfect

[@DCMetalChris]

That's definitely Set Teitan but I don't think Selim starting to play with them until a few years later.

[@anthonyj.s1306]

It’s Set and Pelle Forsberg, I don’t think there’s ever been an instance where Pelle was replaced by anyone.

[@sonicwin04]

Feral Fires haha selim set and pelle played on a tour 2012-2013 lmao noob poser

[@TheWolvesCurse]

@Marduksson you know, the guitarist was the same as on reinkaos, and the vocalist was a background singer on reinkaos too? this cover is awesome and not even close to spittineg on jons face, these musicians have been close friends to jon. the only good somberlain cover next to thulcandras cover of this song.

[@donrostrosincaracteristica714]

True, Watain were very involved with Dissection musically and also in relation to current 218.

[@d_walsh]

Is that SET from dissection ?

[@x.snus.mitchell.x]

Yes

[@SatansRealm]

Criminal record I do believe. Erik discussed it in some interviews.

[@ProfessorLonghair90]

isnt one of watains guitarists dissections old guitarist?

[@IntheNightside]

Yeah I wonder what he feels when the song is played live..?

[@erickalejandrodelcarmen613]

Si tocan esa canción aquí en Tijuana me voy a retorcer como lombriz.

[@KlausBF]

Erik was in Dissection as well. Watain rules your face posers!

[@Damien-qr5gz]

Klaus Braun he was a session live bass player, he was not "in" Dissection.

[@c9590]

i agree quorthorn is essential to it

[@ZydarCalh]

ric jon!

[@MathijsIgnoul]

It means something to have been a part of the later Dissection. He knows what satanism is.

[@NECROKWON]

Worship Jon for 666 days!

[@Fluffetftw]

@efi6 Quourthon was the father and Euronymous was the godfather of blackmetal.

[@John0123.]

what fhe fuxk just happened omg only 5 min..

[@florin8049]

E genial :D

[@Macajordonie]

@DINFERI Why would this be 'shitty' black metal? It might not be as good as the original, but they did a nice job. Black Metal is certainly not limited to bands you name there. It's good to have some variety in this genre. Do you also think that Carach Angren and Dimmu Borgir are shitty black metal bands then?

[@Macajordonie]

@DINFERI You're the kind of guy that hates evrything that isn't your personal style?

[@SquirtyMcwetfart]

Man the guy who shot this needs to take camera lessons.

[@Xemtoth]

That was a very childish reply. I do love mortuus vocals in Marduk, but you can't tell me what I like, everyone likes different things, do i suck because i like his vocals? please grow up

[@heavendissection]

Seriously, this is NOTHING compared to how Dissection used to play it live.

[@joseph19497829]

It's just a tribute Nothing equal to dissection 

[@zevenfilth]

wow Erick saids "..to the gates.. ¡The Somberlain!:.." and nobody screams, and then sounds the main rifff of the song and nothing , none scream for the song, what a bad crowd

[@MetalOfAllOwns]

@efi6 technically it was Snorre W. Ruche. Thorns for the fucking winnnnn. Blackthrone, Hellhammer, Satyr, and Vikernes are the satan of black metal. would be the best line up

[@SatansRealm]

Too bad Set can't into the states anymore

[@x.snus.mitchell.x]

Why?

[@CampGulag]

Does not compare to the original! They should stick to their own stuff where they, obviously, excels :)

[@Xemtoth]

Watain is probably the best band in the world, Erik Danielssons vocals are insane, listen to the earlier albums and you'll see, i personally think Watain is the best band ever, not even marduk can beat them

[@MathijsIgnoul]

If you say BM is dead then you obviously dont know what you're talking about.

[@sterb77]

HOMAGE!

[@abbath1586]

is the bald guy Set the guitarest for dissection lol looks like him

[@Perlascar]

wtf's wrong with this guy?i didnt hear of him

[@lexlutor7842]

Grande performance. Sound pessimo ma.. Chi se ne frega

[@Thermagoth]

jon wouldnt approve...

[@DINFERI]

@Macajordonie Dimmu borgir isn't black metal anymore and they are just fucking awful

[@Damien-qr5gz]

Wow that sucked

[@i_am_no_oneno_one_am_i401]

Weak cover....

[@moonesunia]

??? OMG...so tacky

[@denislaiho]

wow this is horrible :S
