Zombie metal band, Dominum, unleash the zombie apocalypse with their new album, The Dead Don't Die, out today. Alongside this top-notch horror story, Dr. Dead and his horde of undead provide necessary survival skills with their blistering new single and official music video for “Don't Get Bitten By The Wrong Ones”.
With a fusion of catchy riffs, haunting lyrics from the grave, and unrelenting energy, this track takes listeners on an unholy journey through fear, survival and a world overrun by the undead. Lyrically gripping, "Don’t Get Bitten By The Wrong Ones" paints a bleak yet adrenaline-fuelled picture of isolation and mistrust in a collapsing society. Themes of resilience and primal instinct drive the chorus as the band warns against the dangers lurking in the shadows.
Frontman Dr. Dead delivers a commanding vocal performance, blending raw emotion with Dominum’s signature apocalyptic soundscape. The band’s relentless rhythm section and crushing guitar work channel the chaos of a world on the brink of doom.
Dr. Dead on the new single “Don't Get Bitten By The Wrong Ones”: “So here we are - a year has passed, and the story continues to unfold. No matter what challenges arise, this journey remains unstoppable. As we close this chapter, I want to share a mantra that has guided me through the highs and lows of the past year. It’s a simple truth, but a powerful one. It has shaped my path, and I believe it can shape yours too. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Don’t Get Bitten by the Wrong Ones.”

Dominum on the new album The Dead Don’t Die: "Hey, living people. Exactly one year ago, our journey began, and now it’s time for a new chapter. In the darkest nights, I buried my fallen zombies and brought them back to life under the full moon. But the real story is still to come. Stay calm, stay close (forever—pun intended), and I’ll tell you everything soon. Just remember one thing: the dead don’t really die."
Dominum entered the scene in 2023 with a blast and hit the top 20 of the Official German Album Charts immediately with their debut album, Hey Living People.
The Dead Don’t Die opening track “We Are Forlorn” invites the listener on a dark and dramatic journey that continues full-speed on “One Of Us”. Irresistibly catchy “Don't Get Bitten By The Wrong Ones” features Dominum’s trademark eerie yet tongue-in-cheek lyrics, continuing straight from where the band left off with their first album. The monumental title track “The Dead Don’t Die” is another highlight on The Dead Don’t Die - a clever take on a classic children’s lullaby leads into brilliantly dark storytelling, that’s heavy instrumentation and a multifaceted vocal performance take to the next level. Feuerschwanz and dArtagnan mastermind Ben Metzner is featured on this song. In addition to the album’s 10 original tracks, Dominum continues delivering the exciting cover of Scorpions’ classic hit “Rock You Like A Hurricane”. Some formats come with the bonus CD Live at Graspop Metal Meeting 2024 which includes their acclaimed performance at Graspop 2024.
