Weakling are one of the most important bands in the United States Black metal scene. Dead As Dreams, their post-mortem debut album, is both emotionally riveting and intensely raw. And although it is hard to get because of its limited release, with five songs clocking in over 75 minutes, it's worth every penny! Weakling's main characteristic is their frequent juxtaposing of galloping and droning riffs. They run off into a blood-hungry battlefield-riff just as easy as they dwell in drawn-out multi-layered drones. But there's more. Read more ›› |

Dead As Dreams is one of the best USBM albums around. Weakling offers the listener seventy-five minutes of raging Black metal with cutting-edge song writing and epic song structures. It's diverse, heart-wrenching and driven; don't miss out if you ever bump into this hard-to-find gem! Lucas's picks | More picks ›› |

God I don't listen to this album enough, easily one of the greatest BM albums ever written.

Fantastic album, about 15 minutes too long though. Dead As Dreams (song) is pretty much a masterpiece, the dual guitar lead is sooooo good.

I don't even notice how long it is. It's that kind of good.

Written by Ag Fox on 29.10.2015 at 18:28 They only released it twice in CD-format so you can look if there are any codes to identify it. Compare them to the ones found here and here.

Written by Ag Fox on 15.11.2015 at 16:29 Mine doesn't so I guess it's just a repress.  A cd is a cd though so I'm ok with that.

I don't know if this was recommended before but still, there used to be a band called Dead As Dreams, they only managed to release an EP which contains just one song over 24 minutes. I think you'll enjoy it a lot if you love Weakling.

The staggering number of cool musical ideas. The on-point musicianship. The utterly hopeless atmosphere. What a masterpiece this album is,

It's very long and drawn out so obviously there's alot to take in at once, but if you allow yourself the time and opportunity to take this one up then do so, it's a true atmospheric masterpiece, one that any fan of traditional black metal can't miss out on. The harsh high pitch squeeling vocals may not be to everyone's taste, but for me they have such a sinister sound, almost like genuine cries of agony and despair, as if the vocalist himself is going through some sort of dramatic physical, or emotional torture. The guitar tone sounds eerie, and fits the style perfectly, and the song structures and musicianship is phenomenal, but it can get too much, and a wee bit tedious over time.

Glad I finally found this one, BM is one of my favorite subgenres but I'm less into the lo-fi old stuff. This is a marked exception, well said above, "utterly hopeless atmosphere"

The vocalist sounds like he was hit in the nuts repeatedly just before he tracked his vocals.
