DOMAIN Guitarist Interviewed; Audio Available

March 11, 2009

Rock And A Hard Place has uploaded a new audio interview with guitarist Axel Ritt of German metallers DOMAIN. Listen to the chat at this location.

DOMAIN recently posted a new song, "Sweeping Scars", on the band's MySpace page. The track comes off the group's ninth album, a concept effort entitled "The Chronicles of Love, Hate and Sorrow", which is scheduled for release on March 13. The CD artwork was created by famous Brazilian metal artist Gustavo Sazes, who "bridged between the traditional DOMAIN artwork concept and the requirements of the album story," according to a press release.

Completed at Meadow Studios in Darmstadt, Germany with producer and guitarist Axel Ritt at the helm, "The Chronicles of Love, Hate and Sorrow" is a metal opera based on the novel "Die Leiden des jungen Werther" by the famous German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

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.

To best capture on tape the five-octave range of DOMAIN vocalist Nicolaj Ruhnow, the band recently added some special outdoor recordings for the very first time in DOMAIN history.

"The Chronicles of Love, Hate and Sorrow" contains 10 tracks, with a bonus track to be included with the limited-edition version of the album.

The track listing for the CD is as follows:

01. Picture The Beauty
02. Sweeping Scars
03. Angel Above
04. Circle Of Give And Take
05. He Is Back
06. Inner Rage
07. Digging Their Graves
08. Haunting Sorrows
09. The Last Dance
10. 12 O'Clock

Bonus track:

11. Two Brothers & The Sinners Chess

DOMAIN released its 20th anniversary album, "Stardawn", on October 13, 2006 in Europe and November 7, 2006 in the United States via Limb Music Products.
