Currently on tour in the UK for the first time, supporting Lacuna Coil, the vocalist has been giving us daily updates of how things are going for the band. Seemingly, Glasgow was the best date thus far... [b]Day #3 Glasgow,Scotland[/b] "It was a 6 hour rainy drive from Birmingham to Glasgow. On the way up, we stopped at a gas station where I saw a very cool feature in Rocksound magazine. Right next to it was Metal Hammer Magazine that had one our songs on their CD sampler. Its a bit weird but very very cool. When we arrived in Glasgow, the sun came out and Konstantine and I split from the band to do an intimate acoustic performance for 30 or so radio contest winners from 96.3, the rock station there. Apparently they had been playing us for a while which is awesome to receive such support. The rest of the guys went to the venue ABC to load in. Though my voice was feeling a bit tight, I think we did OK. The audience seemed to really enjoy it. I always feel like the acoustic performances are something special. We got to stay and meet the fans which was great but we had to be rushed out of there to get to the venue where I walked into Billy soundchecking my guitar- we arrived just in time. Through soundcheck, my voice was still feeling very tight and worked. Tomorrow will be a much needed day of rest. I tend to perform each day as if it were my last performance on earth so I probably push my voice a little too hard. Needless to say I did a lot of praying before the show. We hit the stage and unlike the previous night, the Glasgow fans were alive right from the start. We rocked the set and my voice was good as it could ever be. I was so relieved! Throughout the day I was getting slammed with emails relating to the BIG day! Yep, February 2nd was our release date for "Love Is Gone" back home in the States. Not only were we getting emails from friends, fans and family, we received a lot of good news that we were getting a lot of support from iTunes, Yahoo, and various other sites that were featuring us. It was a bit of a dream of mine to walk into a store and buy the the CD the day it was released but that is not going to work out this time. It was a very exciting day for us. Great show, monumental accomplishment and we had plans to go out and celebrate. But we celebrated in a way I prefer. We headed back to the hotel, got comfortable, crowded into one room and enjoyed just hanging out. Each band member threw back a beer or two except myself while we just talked amongst ourselves and critiqued pop music videos. In my heart, I was celebrating this moment with certain special people at home and with fans around the world. Its been a long road, but hopefully this is only the beginning..." 4 2010-02-03T18:07:21-05:00 blog 15 0 21240 true 2010-02-05T21:52:19-05:00 566660 dommin-on-the-road-in-europe-day-3 false 16 image/jpeg dommineyes.jpg 19616 2010-02-03T00:00:00-05:00 2010-02-03T18:04:59-05:00 10.0 1 false false false 170 2010-02-08T17:50:31-05:00 53968 76 http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/shared/downloads/Dommin/Dommin-EUR(2).flv Check out this video mash-up of Dommin in Europe 1 2010-02-03T12:22:21-05:00 Love Is Gone video 15 0 21236 true 2010-02-07T10:47:52-05:00 566782 dommin-tour-europe-with-lacuna-coil false 8 image/jpeg DomminLacunaVid.jpg 21625 2010-02-03T00:00:00-05:00 2010-02-03T12:21:33-05:00 false false false 169 2010-02-08T17:50:32-05:00 53968 88 As LA-based goth-rock newcomers [b]Dommin[/b] finally release their previously postponed debut album [url=http://store.roadrunnerrecords.com/artists/Dommin_2/DOMMIN-Love-Is-Gone][i][b]Love Is Gone[/b] [/i][/url]today, the receptive reviews are rolling in. [url=http://thenewreview.net/reviews/dommin-love-is-gone]Thenewreview.net[/url] writes, "Dommin’s vocals are eerie and extremely captivating, drawing you in with every breath. Tracks like “Closure” and “Making The Most” make you want to grab your kitten calendar and slit your wrist at the same time. Both tracks offer beautiful dreamscapes that are all overloaded with depressing thoughts and deep-ended emotions. I haven’t heard this much feeling in music since Depeche Mode’s Violator or Type O Negative’s Bloody Kisses. Also worth mentioning are the piano/keys in “Making The Most.” They are interlaced with the thick wall of distortion and haunting overtones that Dommin bring to the table." While [url=http://www.noisecreep.com/2010/02/02/new-releases-charred-walls-of-the-damned-priestess-rob-zombie/]Noisecreep[/url] contends, "'Love Is Gone' is the darkly romantic, gothically tinged debut of Southern California's Dommin, named after frontman Kristofer Dommin. Strains of DNA from Danzig, Type O Negative and Depeche Mode manifest in Dommin's melodic, broody tunes, like 'Tonight' and 'My Heart Your Hands.'" [url=http://frantikmag.com/blog/2010/01/22/cd-review-dommin-love-is-gone/]Frantikmag.com[/url] praises, "Hopeless romantics, melodramatics, and the broken hearted can really sink their teeth into this one and go along for the ride. Dommin’s uncanny way of making alternative rock music that sounds like your heart veering near the edge of the world is long lost in today’s world of rock. Only a few handful of bands can vindictively accomplish making this type of music from beginning to end without sounding contrived but Dommin has successfully done so. The intricate layers of soul-testifying lyrics, dark piano elements and the roaring accompaniment of cinematic drums, guitars and bass make a deeply intense but sullen soundscape of heartache and pain."

The album is out in the USA today and will be released elsewhere very soon. I have so many people to thank. I saw that Yahoo's Music section has us in their video section. iTunes have been very good to us featuring our album and our video in several areas of their site. We had great people at the label and with our management that have been hard at work to get us to this point. Also, the band itself, I don't now where to begin. But certainly, all you fans out there. We appreciate you so much! Thanks for picking up the CD and downloading it and spreading the word.
