Dargaard has
always been one of my favorite bands on the Austrian label Napalm Records and
when the front man of that band, Tharen, created this new band Dominion III
(previously known under slightly different names) I was very excited to check
them out. Their debut album "The Hand And the Sword" was released in the
year 2000 as yet another great album from the mastermind and now the follow-up
is finally here. "Life Has Ended Here" continues in the same vein with
apocalyptic electronic music, more industrial and harsher than the material he
composes for Dargaard. Elisabeth Toriser from Dargaard also helps him out with
her wonderful vocals for Dominion III and as usual she does her job extremely.
She only sings in a couple of the seven tracks though and most of the vocals
are instead done by Tharen who uses heavy distortion to make them seem as
extreme and harsh as possible. "Life Has Ended Here" is a wonderful album
and to my knowledge there is no other band who do what Tharen does, neither
with Dargaard nor with Dominion III. This is one of the reasons why I love
Napalm Records so much, they sign a lot of unusual and unique bands. If you
feel that the apocalypse is near then just sit down and listen to "Life Has
Ended Here". Stand-out tracks: "A Dead Heart In A Dead World", "Code
Red", "Coming Winter".
