I am looking forward to hearing this album. I enjoyed both Stormbringer Ruler and Emperor Of The Black Runes equally as much. This one seems in the same vein, going by the review, which is good

I did not find any soundclips myself anywhere.
Their recordlabels homepage is really out of date on does not even list their new album, just like it would not exist.
There is nothing more on their homepage than the most essential things. Neither does the band to seem to have a myspace! Never seen this kind of poor promotion before, even for local bands consisiting of kids between 10-12 I've seen way better promotion and way more substantial home pages!

None of their albums can hold a candle to their debut in my oppinion. That was the best darn album to come out of Italy since the days of Adramelch and Dark Quarterer. The rest of their output was much too "euro" oriented for my taste, although I do still enjoy them. This last offering was a bit of a disappointment though, like the review said, a bit too mellow.

Stay vigilant...

http://www.myspace.com/domineofficial

There's 2 songs of the new album and 1 from the one b4 that.

The first two times I've heard Tempest Calling it didn't really do much for me, but now when I heard it again it sounded very good! Especially after listening to The Messenger, which again, did nothing for me.. but it was just put there.

I think their best album far and away is still Stormbringer ruler. Dices up their debut into about a hundred little pieces IMO. I find myself in disagreement with some of these high 90+ ratings here but think Stormbringer's high rating is completely justified. Strange because often these guys are compared to Rhapsody who I've never been a fan of at all. But I find myself listening to SR nonstop. These Italianos really caught me by surprise with that one. Domine is slightly similar to Rhapsody but they have alot more energy and power. Not to mention much better lyrics. :D

I have been listening to this album a lot lately. At first it didnt hit me as anything special but it really grew on me. The title track blows me away. Its has such a positive feel and is different than what Domine has been putting out. I have all of their albums and I think I like this one even better than Stormbringer ruler. This is one of the top albums of the year for me so far, and its absolutely the best power metal album of the year so far for me. Morby is on top of his game the whole album. The vocal lines on song like "Tempest Calling" are great. I fuckin love this album. It may even spark a rebirth in my interest in Power metal.

Yes. After adjusting to the change and multiple listens this is a well written album. I am looking forward to buying it!

Luckily for me, this album was chosen for me to review. And i'm glad i did, cos it really is something to be heard.
My review is a little different to that of the one on here and completely the opposite to the shitty one on Metal Crypt.

Oh yeah, the review wont be posted til around friday this week. (metalcdratings.com)
