Band-History

DOMAIN (1986-1992)

Domain first impressed fans of melodic metal back in the 80s with their first works, "Lost In The City" (still under the old band name KINGDOM), "Before The Storm" and "Crack in The Wall", as well as with their hit songs such as 'Lost In The City' and ‚ 'I Don’t Wanna Die'.

DOMAIN MKII (2000-2006)

But it was their next albums, "One Million Lightyears From Home" (2001), "The Artefact" (2002) and "The Sixth Dimension" (2003) as well as a successful tour with the rock legends, Glenn Hughes and Joe Lynn Turner (HTP) that secured the quintet a firm place in the European Melodic Metal scene. With a harder edged sound, DOMAIN still has a good following as of right now. And that is when the career of the excellent guitarist Axel "Ironfinger" Ritt, ex-vocalist Carsten Lizard Schulz (Evidence One et al.), and the long-term band mates keyboarder Erdmann Lange, ex-bass player Jochen Mayer (Boysvoice, Demon Drive, Casanova) and the ex-drummer Stefan Köllner really began…

In 2005 the band again hit a high score with the concept album, "Last Days Of Utopia", based on an idea of ex-singer Carsten Lizard Schulz. And to accompany the work, they found a partner in Limb Music Products, who were to accompany them during their extensive projects in the years to come. With "Last Days Of Utopia" and a bunch of older hits in their luggage, DOMAIN - on their Melodic Metal Alliance Tour seemed to please the fans. As promotion for their albums "One Million Lightyears From Home", "New Horizons", "The Artefact", "The Sixth Dimension" and "The Essence Of Glory" (a limited edition Best Of album) which had been newly released in Asia, they went on tour through Korea. At the Busan Festival DOMAIN were greeted by 25,000 fanatical fans like superstars. They also played a live show on Koreas' biggest Saturday night TV show to millions of viewers.

And with the 25-minute long epic 'Shadowhall', which, in a musical-like fashion describes the rise and fall of a vampire clan, DOMAIN again sets songwriting standards against which all other bands of today's Melodic Metal scene will be compared.

The new album will in addition be released as a limited edition 2CD/DVD digipak with a great DVD including a 40 minute long tour documentary entitled "7 days in Korea" with comments and interviews with Carsten Lizard Schulz and Axel Ritt, a 35 minute long live clip from the Busan Festival, a 15 minute long TV documentary etc., etc. and an additional Best Of CD with the very best from the albums "Lost In The City", "Before The Storm", "Crack In The Wall", "One Million Lightyears From Home", "The Artefact“ and "The Sixth Dimension", as well as two cover songs which have until now only been released on two compilation CDs, ('Stormbringer’ and 'Over The Hills And Far Away’).

DOMAIN MKIII (2007-Present)

DOMAIN's line-up changed again in a significant way (2007): bassplayer Steven Wussow (IllectronicRock, Shylock, Iridium, Misfits & Fjuse), drummer Jens Baar (IllectronicRock) and vocalist Nicolaj Ruhnow (Irony, Nick Hellfort) are high talented and passionate musicians who closing the ranks of DOMAIN MKIII in summer 2007. After a successful European-Tour 2007 DOMAIN entered the Meadows Studios in Darmstadt (Germany) to lay down their new album:

"THE CHRONICLES OF LOVE, HATE AND SORROW" - Vocalist Nicolaj Ruhnow created a 10 chapter enfolding interpretation of a drama, based on the legendary epistolary novel DIE LEIDEN DES JUNGEN WERTHER by famous German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The opus will be performed by guitarist Axel Ritt, keyboarder Erdmann Lange, bassplayer Steven Wussow and Nicolaj Ruhnow himself, enriched with hard and anthem metal, epic heavy rock and ballad elements. Released for the first time in 1774, the story DIE LEIDEN DES JUNGEN WERTHER became a key work in German literature regarding the "Storm And Stress" period and describes an impossible love against all moral concepts, which provokes extreme emotional reactions up to the point of a spate of suicides among young readers of the novel.
