A winterlands tear 5. My springdales sacrifice 6. The eternal walk 10. No Fashion Anyone familiar with Ophthalamia s Via Dolorosa would expect its successor, Dominion , to include much of the same lonely guitar sound. This, however, just isn t the case.
Dominion offers a much more fleshed-out instrumentation.
The guitar riffs are a great deal more song-oriented than in their last release. Actually, a few parts of this CD have a warm, galloping Viking feel to them. Whatever it was the guitars did in Via Dolorosa , they re usually not doing it here. The vocals are your basic black metal scream for the most part, but clean vocals do make an appearance in both the opening and closing mellow tracks. They are also used in the background at various other times throughout the album.
