Since 2005, the German MY DOMINION has been continuously honing its apocalyptic soundtrack for that part of humanity that seemingly cannot drag itself into its own abyss fast and deep enough.
Musically, the Essen-based band led by growl monster Martin has continued to evolve. While cleanly sung choruses dominated the melodic Death Metal songs on their first album, this stylistic device is no longer to be found on the new album.
Nevertheless, the four musicians still place great emphasis on melody, groove, and catchiness in the ten new songs. Four songs that had already been released as singles in recent years were reworked, remixed, and remastered for this album.
The first single—the title track—was released on Oct. 31, along with a music video.
Band statement on the new release:
Just in time for the band’s 20th anniversary, we are releasing our long-awaited second album. The record is called EXTINCTION and takes a pessimistic look at the current state of the world.
Songs such as “Desolation,” “Riot!,” “Bastards,” “Destroy The Old World Order,” and the title track “Extinction” deal with dystopias, escapism, disinformation, and inhumane turbo-capitalism.
We don’t see ourselves as preachers with a raised index finger, but rather as observers of the seemingly inevitable downfall of human civilization.
While the first album, CONSUMED, depicts a dark science fiction setting including an alien invasion, the second LP is about reality, which seems to have already caught up with some pessimistic science fiction from the past.
