Reviews

DOMINION CALIGULA - same - NO FASHION
Dominion Caligula is the long heralded band of former Hypocrisy man Masse Broberg and fellow Dark Funeralers Gaahnfaust and Dominion. Despite the redundant (small) presence of K&F (keyboards and female vocals), DC is a metal band whose sounds maintains a mid-paced approach and doesn't stray far from riffs developed by the likes of Hypocrisy and Edge of Sanity. It's respectable material and especially singer Broberg puts in a menacing showing with enough snarly hate throughout. I have no lyrics, but the band is said to have a theme of Roman decadence and debauchery in mind (hence the band moniker) which would also explain the weaker link of female vocals every once in a while on this. Surprisingly produced by Peter Tägtgren (the man who kicked Broberg out of Hypocrisy) the disc has a strong sound and over all a nice change for death metal fans. - Ali "The Metallian"
