NEWS: Fourth Dominion climb the hill of swords!

Rochester New York Deathwave act Fourth Dominion have streamed a second single in “Hill of Swords” from their 1st August arriving album “Diana’s Day” to follow the age restricted music video for “Goetia“. When the record does appear via Fiadh Productions it will be available on compact disc, cassette, vinyl and of course digital formats, confronting themes of queerness, feminine magick and existentialism as it does so…

Bassist/vocalist Meadow Wyand comments on the song: “‘Hill of Swords’ was written in response to Kentaro Miura’s passing. It references the location in his dark fantasy masterwork Berserk, where the graves of the sacrificed are marked by swords instead of tombstones. As the song developed, it became an anthem for those we lost during the pandemic, as well as the invisible millions who suffer from chronic disabilities. Musically, I think it’s a poignant distillation of the styles synthesized on the record. The main harmony owes a debt to Iron Maiden, which is followed by Bad Religion riffing in the verses, and a layered John McGeoch-esque chorus. Dave’s solo and psychedelic tone during the bridge contain some of the best guitar work on the album.”
