Zombie metal sensation DOMINUM has just dropped the highly anticipated official music video for their title track, "The Dead Don’t Die," featuring Ben Metzner of Feuerschwanz. The new video, released via Napalm Records, premiered just 16 hours ago and is already racking up thousands of views. This single is the lead track off their upcoming album, The Dead Don’t Die, set to be released on December 27, 2024.
The video, directed by Witzki Visions and featuring stunning visuals, showcases the band’s signature horror-inspired aesthetics mixed with powerful metal performances. With a catchy chorus, heavy riffs, and theatrical elements, the song is a perfect blend of eerie yet engaging storytelling that DOMINUM has become known for.
But what really sets "The Dead Don’t Die" apart is its unique vibe—listeners might find themselves reminded of the whimsical eeriness of "This is Halloween" from The Nightmare Before Christmas, combined with the haunting, lullaby-like qualities of Eminem’s "Mockingbird." The song’s dark lullaby theme and its rhythmic flow evoke a sense of playfulness mixed with sinister undertones, making it both nostalgic and fresh. This blend of spooky charm and emotional depth gives the song an addictive quality that leaves a lasting impression.
New Album The Dead Don’t Die Out December 27, 2024
DOMINUM’s second studio album, The Dead Don’t Die, follows the success of their debut album, Hey Living People, which made an impressive entry into the Official German Album Charts in 2023. With their new album, the band explores a heavier and darker sound, featuring 10 new tracks and two bonus covers of Scorpions’ "Rock You Like A Hurricane" and Michael Jackson’s "Thriller." The album is mixed and mastered by renowned producer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Arch Enemy, Evergrey).
Special thanks go to Ben Metzner of Feuerschwanz, who adds his signature touch to the title track. With the support of Metzner, the song brings an intense and multifaceted vocal performance to life, making it one of the album’s highlights.
