DOMINUM

Formed in Nuremberg in 2022, Dominum sits in direct and melodic German power metal, nourished by catchy choruses, pounding guitars and horror imagery centered on the zombie universe. The project was launched by singer and producer Felix Heldt, who appears under the name Dr. Dead, surrounded by musicians from the metal scene such as Jochen Windisch on guitar, Korbinian Benedict on bass and Marcos Feminella on drums, all under stage identities related to the band’s concept. Dominum develops an aesthetic that crosses heavy metal, power metal and spectacular rock, with an evident taste for catchy melodies and reworked covers. After the first singles released in 2023, Dominum issued in the same year the album Hey Living People (2023) on Napalm Records, followed by The Dead Don’t Die (2024). On stage, Dominum appears masked and extends this theatrical register in tours and festivals, with appearances alongside Die Apokalyptischen Reiter, Bruce Dickinson or Avantasia, as well as at events such as Rockharz, Wacken Open Air and Summer Breeze. In today’s metal landscape, Dominum thus occupies a niche where the effectiveness of power metal meets a concept-driven band staging.
