Dominus - A View To The Dim

Before they became Vol-beat (what a shitty progression...), or even released a garbage death-n-roll record (I like death-n-roll...I didn't like their take on it...), Dominus put out a super crushing, and by all accounts, excellent death metal album. View to the Dim is unrelenting. The drums pound away, the guitar is heavy, and the vocals fierce. You'd think from the cover art, they'd be all about vikings, and other lame crap, and you'd be partially right. They do have some songs about vikings, but they also have songs about the occult and some with anti-religious overtones...so you're not in for some Amon Amarth style lyrical subject suckfest. Some of the members where also in Panzerchrist and Illdisposed.

Grab what may be the only non-shitty viking themed album here:
