Unhallowed

"Unhallowed" by Dissection is a track from the Swedish extreme metal album Storm Of The Light's Bane, later re-recorded as a B-side on the 2004 single "Maha Kali." The song showcases Dissection's signature blend of black and melodic death metal, making it a rewarding study for electric guitarists interested in aggressive tremolo picking, dark melodic riffing, and the layered guitar textures that defined Scandinavian extreme metal. Learning this track offers insight into how Dissection balanced raw intensity with melodic precision.

  • "Unhallowed" was re-recorded for the B-side of Dissection's 2004 comeback single "Maha Kali," years after its Storm Of The Light's Bane origin.
  • The track originates from Storm Of The Light's Bane, an album widely regarded as a defining record in melodic black metal guitar writing.
  • Dissection's guitar work on this era blends tremolo-picked black metal riffs with melodic death metal phrasing, requiring both speed and expressive note choice.
Fender Stratocaster
Guitar

Fender Stratocaster

Dissection's primary studio choice for tremolo-picked passages, with single-coil pickups delivering clarity that humbuckers muddy in dense black metal layers. The treble-forward response cuts through at 180+ BPM, making each 16th-note articulate and defined.

Gibson Les Paul Standard

Used occasionally in Dissection's later live performances as an alternative to the Stratocaster, though its humbucker compression sacrifices the picking clarity essential to their tremolo technique. The thicker tone trades precision for warmth, making it less ideal for their intricate fretwork.

Gibson Les Paul Custom

Gibson Les Paul Custom

A secondary live option for Dissection, offering humbucker darkness but compromising the note definition required for their fast, articulate picking passages. Better suited to sustained tones than the rapid-fire clarity their signature sound demands.

ISP Decimator Noise Gate
Pedal

ISP Decimator Noise Gate

Dissection employed this noise gate to manage feedback during high-gain sustained passages without relying on heavy-handed gating that would choke their tremolo picking dynamics. It maintains the raw, aggressive tone while keeping unwanted noise controlled.
