Zombie Metal Sensation DOMINUM Drops New Single “We Are Forlorn"

The formidable zombie metal band DOMINUM has unleashed their latest single, “We Are Forlorn,” providing listeners with an enticing glimpse into their forthcoming second album, The Dead Don't Die, set to be released on December 27, 2024, through Napalm Records.

This album promises a monumental journey, beginning with an explosive opening track that plunges into a dark and dramatic soundscape, showcasing the intensified metal influences that Dr. Dead and his Zombies have woven into this new project. The result is a sound that is not only more powerful but also darker and more elaborate than their celebrated debut. “We Are Forlorn” expertly crafts a chilling atmosphere that sends thrilling shivers down the spine, with its biting riffs, thunderous drumming, and an unparalleled vocal performance by Dr. Dead himself.

Accompanied by a striking official music video, the single stands out as a remarkable introduction to what awaits fans when DOMINUM channels the essence of a zombie apocalypse later this year with The Dead Don't Die! Prepare for an auditory experience that promises to be both haunting and unforgettable.

Dr. Dead on the new single "We Are Forlorn": “Something wicked has stirred from its slumber. My zombies, once mere shadows of their former selves, have transformed into creatures that are more dangerous, more terrifying, and imbued with an unsettling new power. But this metamorphosis didn’t occur overnight; it required a dark and arduous journey.

Under the cloak of midnight, in a hidden graveyard veiled in mist and mystery, a ritual of shadows unfolded. With a single touch of a secret elixir, they not only resurrected but buried their old selves, emerging anew from the depths of despair.

What transpired next? You’ll have to witness it for yourself. 'We Are Forlorn'—a title that resonates with the echoes of darkness, yet at its core, it embodies the strength found in unity. Although we may feel forlorn, we rise together, defiant and unyielding.”

DOMINUM on the Upcoming Album The Dead Don’t Die:

"Hello, living people! It's hard to believe that exactly one year has passed since the beginning of our musical journey. As we turn the page to a new chapter, I invite you to join us on this thrilling adventure. Under the cover of the darkest nights, I have buried my fallen zombies, only to resurrect them beneath the enchanting glow of the full moon. Yet, I promise you, the real story is just around the corner. So, stay calm and stay close (forever—pun intended), because soon I will share everything with you. Just remember this pivotal truth: the dead don’t truly die." Yours, Dr. Dead.

DOMINUM made a striking entrance into the music scene in 2023, capturing the attention of listeners and critics alike. Their debut album, Hey Living People, quickly soared to the top 20 on the Official German Album Charts, marking an impressive start for the band. Now, with their highly anticipated second full-length album, The Dead Don’t Die, they have outdone themselves, offering a work that enhances the strengths of their first album with greater maturity, refined production, and meticulously crafted songwriting. This album is once again mixed and mastered by the exceptional Jacob Hansen, known for his successful collaborations with renowned bands like Volbeat, Arch Enemy, and Evergrey.

The album opens with the powerful anthem “We Are Forlorn,” establishing a haunting atmosphere that perfectly primes listeners for the sonic journey ahead. Following this, the high-energy track “One Of Us” propels the album forward with its driving rhythm and compelling melodies. A standout moment is undoubtedly the title track, “The Dead Don’t Die.” This song presents a masterful reinterpretation of a classic children's lullaby, leading into a narrative steeped in dark storytelling. The heavy instrumentation combined with an intricate vocal performance elevates the track to a whole new level of artistry.

Notably, the track features the talents of Ben Metzner, the mastermind behind the bands Feuerschwanz and dArtagnan, adding an exciting layer to the music. In addition to the album’s ten original compositions, DOMINUM surprises fans with a refreshing cover of the iconic Scorpions’ hit “Rock You Like A Hurricane,” reimagining it with their unique sound and energy. For collectors and dedicated fans, certain formats of this album come with an exclusive bonus CD titled Live at Graspop Metal Meeting 2024, which includes their highly praised live performance from the Graspop Metal Meeting festival in 2024. This addition allows listeners to experience the electrifying atmosphere of the band’s live shows and further showcases their dynamic presence on stage.
