Storm of the Light's Bane is the second full-length studio album by Swedish black metal band Dissection, released on 17 November 1995 by Nuclear Blast Records.
This would be the band's last full-length album before frontman Jon Nödtveidt's 1997 incarceration for the felony murder of Josef ben Meddour.[2] It would not be until 2006 that they would release their third and final album Reinkaos, which was followed by the breakup of the band and Nödtveidt's suicide shortly after.[2] As with the band's debut album, Kristian 'Necrolord' Wåhlin created the artwork.
Several publications have called the album a "masterpiece" and "one of the best black metal albums ever written".[3][4] It has had significant influence on the development of extreme metal.[according to whom?]
