Dominum – The Dead Don’t Die 2024

Zombie metal sensation DOMINUM is set to unleash the undead on their second album, entitled The Dead Don’t Die, out December 27, 2024 via Napalm Records! DOMINUM entered the scene in 2023 with a blast and hit the top 20 of the Official German Album Charts immediately with their debut album, Hey Living People, while gaining a slew of fans with their horror-inspired lyrics, powerful compositions and theatrical performances.

On the new offering, mastermind Felix Held aka Dr Dead and his Zombies introduce heavier metal influences, contributing to an even more bombastic and darker sound than on the debut. The second album is grown up and tops the strong predecessor in production and songwriting and is once again mixed and mastered by brilliant Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Arch Enemy, Evergrey & more). Since the release of Hey Living People, DOMINUM has played nearly sold-out tours supporting big names such as Bruce Dickinson, Avantasia, Feuerschwanz and Peyton Parrish in Europe, as well as convincing international audiences at summer festivals such as Graspop and Rock Harz.Massive opening track “We Are Forlorn” invites the listener on a dark and dramatic journey that continues full-speed on “One Of Us”. Irresistibly catchy “Don’t Get Bitten By The Wrong Ones” features DOMINUM’s trademark eerie yet tongue-in-cheek lyrics, continuing straight from where the band left off with their first album. The monumental title track “The Dead Don’t Die” is another highlight on the album – a clever take on a classic children’s lullaby leads into brilliantly dark storytelling, which heavy instrumentation and aultifaceted vocal performance take to the next level. Feuerschwanz and dArtagnan mastermind Ben Metzner is featured on this track. In addition to the album’s 10 original tracks, DOMINUM continues delivering exciting covers of classic hits with two bonus tracks, Scorpions’ “Rock You Like A Hurricane” and Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”. Some formats come with the bonus CD Live from Graspop which includes their acclaimed performance at Graspop 2024. DOMINUM will kick off their first full headlining tour right in time for the release of The Dead Don’t Die, bringing their new horror stories to life on stage for the first time. With further massive shows such as their first performance at Wacken Open Air confirmed for next summer, DOMINUM are truly taking over in 2025. Join the Living Dead Squad!
