HAMMERFALL – Dominion

Dominion is the eleventh studio album from Swedish Power Metal band HammerFall.  The bands current lineup features Oscar Dronjak – guitars, backing vocals (1993–present) Joacim Cans – lead vocals (1996–present) Fredrik Larsson – bass, backing vocals (1994–1997, 2007–present) Pontus Norgren – guitars, backing vocals (2008–present) and David Wallin – drums (2014–present).   The production of the record is pristine, with each and every instrument clear and punchy.  Cans’ vocals are spot on and powerful.  The songs are well written and have a breadth of variation within the Power Metal genre.

Dominion hits the ground running with the galloping epic “Never Forgive, Never Forget”, filled with pounding double bass drums and soaring vocals.  Notable tracks include “(We Make) Sweden Rock”, which is almost an Arena Rock anthem, and “Dead By Dawn”, which portrays a heavy Judas Priest influence.  That being said, there is no filler here.  Each track of Dominion stands as a solid offering on its own.  HammerFall has produced yet another record that is a worthy contender on the world stage.  Fans of Heavy Metal, Power Metal, Epic Metal, and even Melodic Rock and AOR will find something to enjoy on Dominion.
