The New Dominion

While their style is originally rooted in Scandinavian death metal, The New Dominion has consistently incorporated progressive and technical influences into their riff oriented compositions.

A month later after Tom and Yuma had finished their first song (eventually called “the homecoming”) Stip and Bart came over to the rehearsal room in 013 and immediately were enthusiastic and a new band was born.

However, within a month it became clear that in order to deliver first-class quality death/thrash songs that offered enough variety, the recruitment of a second guitar player was inevitable.

In the past year The New Dominion stormed over the Dutch club scene in an insane tempo, leaving a trail of ashes and dust behind everywhere they went.” Late 2008, after building a live reputation[3] in the Netherlands, the band went into the studio to record their first full-length album.

All other recordings will be at the Final Focus Studios in Tilburg where Bart Hennephof (also guitarist in the band Textures) and Yuma van Eekelen will be producing and mixing the album.

Both Tom Adams and Bart Schoorl (pictured) wanted to form a more heavy-sounding band after both their recent bands got split up due to musical differences.
