DOMINUM unleash the zombie apocalypse with their new album, The Dead Don’t Die, out today! Alongside this top-notch horror story, Dr. Dead and his horde of undead provide necessary survival skills with their blistering new single and official music video for “Don’t Get Bitten By The Wrong Ones”.

With a fusion of catchy riffs, haunting lyrics from the grave, and unrelenting energy, this track takes listeners on an unholy journey through fear, survival and a world overrun by the undead. Lyrically gripping, “Don’t Get Bitten By The Wrong Ones” paints a bleak yet adrenaline-fueled picture of isolation and mistrust in a collapsing society. Themes of resilience and primal instinct drive the chorus as the band warns against the dangers lurking in the shadows.

Frontman Dr. Dead delivers a commanding vocal performance, blending raw emotion with DOMINUM’s signature apocalyptic soundscape. The band’s relentless rhythm section and crushing guitar work channel the chaos of a world on the brink of doom.

Dr. Dead on the new single “Don’t Get Bitten By The Wrong Ones”:
“So here we are – a year has passed, and the story continues to unfold. No matter what challenges arise, this journey remains unstoppable. As we close this chapter, I want to share a mantra that has guided me through the highs and lows of the past year. It’s a simple truth, but a powerful one. It has shaped my path, and I believe it can shape yours too. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Don’t Get Bitten by the Wrong Ones.”
Yours truly,
Dr. Dead

DOMINUM on the new 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 of the Official German Album Charts immediately with their debut album, Hey Living People.

Massive album opening track “We Are Forlorn” invites the listener on a dark and dramatic journey that continues full-speed on “One Of Us”. 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 continues delivering the 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.

ARCHAIC Send Xmas Gift to Metal Fans Covering IRON MAIDEN’s ‘Be Quick Or Be Dead’

Hungarian Thrashers ARCHAIC have dropped their super-heavy Christmas gift in the form of a fierce cover of the ’92 Iron Maiden classic track ’Be Quick or Be Dead’.

“We’ve been a fan of Iron Maiden since our teenage years and this is our way to pay homage to one of the greatest bands in the history of metal. Because of the difference in genres, it was a good challenge to reshape the song in a way that fits our musical identity but still remains faithful to the original.

We picked ’Be Quick or Be Dead’ for many reasons. One is that it’s not an obvious choice like the big hits, which have been covered a lot of times by various bands. We also thought that the original track itself has such a raw and thrashy vibe that makes it fit for an aggressive, heavier cover. And there’s also a personal perspective, three out of four band members were born in 80-s and got into metal in the beginning of the 90-s, which meant that ’Fear of the Dark’ was a defining record for us, it was the basically the first one that introduced us to Maiden’s music and had a huge impact on us as kids.

As the lyrics and the meaning of the song are still valid to this day, we decided to make a lyric video. It was edited by our former singer, Tamás Jósa, who is also a huge Maiden fanatic and it includes mostly footage from our live performances but there are also some nods and winks to the original music video of the song, that was played several times on MTV back in 1992.”

ARCHAIC is currently writing and producing their 4th full-length album, which is the follow-up of ’The Endgame Protocol’ released back in 2022. Besides working on new music they will also go on a 10-day-long European tour with Gorgoroth, Aeternus and Death Rattle in late March 2025.

„We’re very excited about this tour and it’s a huge honour to be part of this line-up, the band is extremely grateful for this opportunity. We’ve played in a few parts of Europe and been on shorter tours before, but none of them were longer than 5-6 days, so this will be our first trip with 10 shows in a row which makes it even more exciting for us. We’re really looking forward to sharing the stage with Gorgoroth, Aeternus and Death Rattle and playing for hundreds of new faces, it will be a crushing compilation of black and thrash metal in one infernal package. We can’t wait to rip everyone’s face off with some intensive and spicy thrash metal music from Hungary!”
