Dominus (band)
Danish metal band
Dominus was a Danish death metal/groove metal band from Ringsted that formed in 1991 and split up in 2000/2001. They released one single, two demos and four albums. Though mostly known for their first two death metal albums, they moved into a groove metal direction on 1997's Vol.Beat release and would go on to fuse that sound with thrash metal and returning death metal elements on their final release, 2000's Godfallos.
The first demo “Ambrosias Locus” was a success in the Danish underground metal scene. They began touring around the surrounding area and eventually to other parts around Denmark. In 1993, “Astaroth” released, bringing them more attention and making them a staple in the underground scene. Molon Lave got its hands on a copy of “Astaroth” and wanted to do a “7 with Dominus. Due to the inside financial issues with the label, promotion for the EP didn’t work too well. In 1994, Dominus entered the studio to create “View to the Dim”, which instantly became popular amongst Dominus fans. Michael Poulsen was featured in many interviews and even a debate with a priest on a major live television network about satanism.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
