Zombie metal band DOMINUM unveil their new single, “We Are Forlorn”, offering the next taste of their upcoming second album, The Dead Don’t Die, out December 27, 2024 via Napalm Records! The album’s massive opening track invites the listener on a dark and dramatic journey, underlining the heavier metal influences that Dr. Dead and his Zombies introduce on their second full-length – contributing to an even more bombastic and darker sound than on their debut.
“We Are Forlorn” sets the perfect tone for a sinister atmosphere to run shivers down one’s spine. It’s accented by trenchant riffing, thundering drums and a matchless vocal performance by Dr. Dead. Together with a visually palpable official music video, “We Are Forlorn” marks a standout offering, yet only a preview for what’s to come when DOMINUM evoke the zombie apocalypse at the end of the year with The Dead Don’t Die!
Dr. Dead on the new single “We Are Forlorn”:
“Something wicked has awakened. My zombies are more dangerous, more terrifying, and filled with new power. But their transformation didn’t come easily – under the cloak of midnight, in a secret graveyard, a ritual of shadows took place. A single touch of the secret elixir, and they buried themselves anew… What happened next? You’ll have to see it for yourself.
“We Are Forlorn”! A name that echoes darkness, but at its heart, it’s about standing together. “We Are Forlorn” – yet we rise united.
DOMINUM on the upcoming album The Dead Don’t Die:
“Hey, living people. Exactly one year ago, our journey began, and now it’s time for a new chapter. In the darkest nights, I buried my fallen zombies and brought them back to life under the full moon. But the real story is still to come. Stay calm, stay close (forever – pun intended), and I’ll tell you everything soon. Just remember one thing: the dead don’t really die.”
Yours,
Dr. Dead
DOMINUM entered the scene in 2023 with a blast and hit the top 20 on the Official German Album Charts immediately with their debut album, Hey Living People. The band’s second full-length album, The Dead Don’t Die, tops its strong predecessor in maturity, production and songwriting, and is once again mixed and mastered by the brilliant Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Arch Enemy, Evergrey & more).
The opening anthem “We Are Forlorn” sets the stage for what’s to come, while DOMINUM continue with full-speed on “One Of Us” shortly after. The monumental title track “The Dead Don’t Die” is another highlight on The Dead Don’t Die – a clever take on a classic children’s lullaby leads into brilliantly dark storytelling, which heavy instrumentation and a multifaceted vocal performance take to the next level. Feuerschwanz and dArtagnan mastermind Ben Metzner are featured on this song. In addition to the album’s 10 original tracks, DOMINUM also delivers an exciting cover of Scorpions’ classic hit “Rock You Like A Hurricane”. Some formats come with the bonus CD Live at Graspop Metal Meeting 2024, which includes their acclaimed performance at Graspop 2024.
