It's been five years since Immortal Dominion has issued a full-length studio
album. But the wait is nearly over, metalheads. Early 2011 will see the release
of the group's third full-length overall, 'Primortal' (on 427 Records), and
the album will surely take the group to the next level, as it was overseen
by renowned metal producer Sterling Winfield (who has previously worked with
the likes of Mercyful Fate, Pantera, Damageplan, and Hellyeah).
As Winfield explains, "I really enjoyed the studio experience with Immortal
Dominion, not only for the band and what they brought to the table as far as
their material, and their professional attitude, but the facility, Backbone
Studios, in Loveland Colorado, is unbelievable! A killer place that was made
just for the creative person in all of us. The staff is there to help you with
your vision, and never said no to ANY of our crazy ideas. Don't even get me
started on the gear available to us. The best!"
Comprised of band members Ray Smith (vocals), Brian Villers (guitars/vocals),
Louis Micciullo (guitars), Bryan "Ed" Schmidt (bass), and Casey Glass (drums),
Immortal Dominion has assembled a strong album that easily measures up to other
releases by modern metal acts. As Villers explains, "I think the current metal
scene has come around full circle, with guitar solos and great drumming being
prevalent again. And our new sound fits in with that perfectly." Or as Schmidt
describes Immortal Dominion's sound, "Somewhere between Cannibal Corpse...and
Elton John!" And after hearing such standout tracks as "Reanimated" and "Retroactive," you'll
discover that Schmidt's description is not that far off.
Immortal Dominion will be supporting the release of 'Primortal' with live
dates throughout 2011, and as Smith describes, "Fans can expect an exciting
performance that will blow them away. The guitar solos and drum beats take
it to a new level of listening entertainment, while the vocals are great and
easy to sing along with." Adds Micciullo, "We are a very high energy band,
so they should expect lots of head banging!"
And lastly, just what does the future hold in store for Immortal Dominion? "I
see Immortal Dominion growing every day in the music industry," explains Glass. "With
the new band line-up, live performances and new songs, we will continue to bring
something new to the table. Working with industry leaders and top bands
will make Immortal Dominion a force to be reckoned with." |
