Storm of the Light's Bane is the 1995 album release by Swedish melodic black/death metal band Dissection, and is considered along with At the Gates's Slaughter of the Soul as one of the most influential and popular of the genre^{[citation needed]}.

While the song writing lent mostly from death metal, the lo-fi production, tremolo picked open chords, and vocalist/guitarist's Jon Nödtveidt's rasped vocals lead to the band's style sometimes being called "blackened death metal", a fusion of black metal and death metal music.

This would be the band's last full length album before Nödtveidt's 1997 incarceration for murder.

It was re-released in 2000 as a digipak with the 1997 EP, Where Dead Angels Lie as bonus tracks. The album was re-released once again in 2006 by The End Records in a two-disc set, and includes the Where Dead Angels Lie EP, an unreleased EP from 1994 featuring two songs from the album, and an "alternate mix" version of the full album, all remastered, and packaged in a slipcase. This version is touted as the "Ultimate Reissue".

As with the first album, Kristian Wåhlin did the cover art.
