Dominhate Posts New EP Online
Czech Republic label Lavadome Productions just released Dominhate's "Emissaries of Morning" EP this week, and now all the tracks have come online for streaming. Listen in below, and Lavadome also comments:
"Dominhate retains everything essential about death metal while pushing towards added extremity - devastating rhythms with a dark flavour, unrelenting waves of earth-shattering percussion, formidable infernal roars from what sounds like only a mythical figure, and imagery that is hand-painted but ominous all the same with an undeniable otherworldly aura about it.
"Dominhate presents the new face of death metal - contemporary without losing the ancient morbid touch, forward-thinking while paying tribute to the pillars of the genre. 'Emissaries of Morning' is a new chapter in death metal mastery; it is how you take forward the sound of the genre without betraying the roots." More...
