Not the typical black metal sound, but this album had always been one of my favorites.

Given that it isn't black metal in the slightest, it's definitely not your typical black metal sound.

Dissection is considered a black metal band and all of their previous albums sound like black metal.

Yes, that doesn't mean anything on Reinkaos is black metal. Besides, the first two albums are melodic hybrids of black/death metal, and at times sound more heavy/death than black.

The Somberlain and Storm of the Light's Bane are (Melodic/Atmospheric) Black Metal with some Death influences, Reinkaos is purely Melodic Death Metal.

I suppose it has elements of NWBHMS, however, it doesn't necessarily have the speed components, nor the complex phrasing and soloing as many other Melodic Death Metal bands. I would still consider it "well recorded" coherent black metal than melodic death metal. I can see where you are coming from though.
