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!
On the new offering, mastermind Felix Heldt 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 the brilliant Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Arch Enemy, Evergrey & more).
DOMINUM unleash the title track “The Dead Don’t Die” together with an official music video, featuring Ben Metzner, known as mastermind of German #1 band and labelmates Feuerschwanz, as well as dArtagnan. In the song, a clever take on a classic children’s lullaby leads into brilliantly dark storytelling, that’s heavy instrumentation and a multifaceted vocal performance take to the next level. The stunning music video features both singers and perfectly transports the message of the song with strong visuals.
Dr Dead on the new single “The Dead Don’t Die”:
“My fellow living people, the time has come for the next chapter. To strengthen and expand my zombie empire, I’ve uncovered something I must share. In the dark caves of a castle, whose name must remain secret, I found a new companion from medieval times—Ben Metzner of Feuerschwanz. I convinced him to join our cause, and together, we will grow our army and extend our power even further. Your living world has no idea what’s about to hit it.”
Yours,
Dr. Dead
Ben Metzner adds:
“As a warrior from the medieval universe of FEUERSCHWANZ I feel honored and blessed to be raised from the grave and become a part of the growing zombie army of DOMINUM!”
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
