Musical Style
According to Daniel Ekeroth, the band’s first song, "Inhumanity Deformed", was "Napalm Death-inspired grind, but they soon developed their own melancholic and atmospheric death metal style", which "combine strong melodies with musical brutality". Dissection considered the "characteristic dual-harmony guitar-sound" to be "an important part of the band's sound" and therefore needed a second guitarist. Due to the band's turn towards melodic death metal, Tomas "Tompa" Lindberg sees Dissection as a part of the Gothenburg scene.

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or style:
“Then, bringing me the joy we feel when wee see a work by our favorite painter which differs from any other that we know, or if we are led before a painting of which we have until then only seen a pencil sketch, if a musical piece heard only on the piano appears before us clothed in the colors of the orchestra, my grandfather called me the [hawthorn] hedge at Tansonville, saying, “You who are so fond of hawthorns, look at this pink thorn, isn’t it lovely?””
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“I shall christen this style the Mandarin, since it is beloved by literary pundits, by those who would make the written word as unlike as possible to the spoken one. It is the style of all those writers whose tendency is to make their language convey more than they mean or more than they feel, it is the style of most artists and all humbugs.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
