Dominion (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dominion were a British band from Thornhill, Dewsbury, that played mix of death metal and doom metal, featuring a female singer (Michelle Richfield) and two male singers (Mass Firth and Arno Cagna). The band released two albums in the late 1990s on Peaceville Records and then split up. Drummer Bill Law temporary played in My Dying Bride. Richfield and North later formed the band Sear. Firth now plays in the death metal band Nailed.In 2006 their former record label Peaceville decided to release an 18 track compilation album entitled Threshold A Retrospective. This featured songs from the albums their Interface and Blackout. In addition to songs that were earlier released on the under the sign of the sacred star Peaceville compilation album. Also a very interesting version of the Tears For Fears song "Shout" originally released on the peaceville X album and has now gone on to be a classic in metal clubs across the UK. This 2006 release got great reviews in the press and saw Dominion getting a KKKK review in Kerrang magazine hailing the band as "Brit Metal Pioneers and a criminally over looked band". Further more the track Release which originally featured on the album Blackout was to appear to appear on a cover mount CD for the magazine Metal Hammer.All this positive attention practically 10 years after the bands demise raises questions to why the band wasn't pushed further at the time they were actually making music.
