While drawing influence from the nu metal that revolutionized the late-1990s metal scene, the zombie metal band Dominum—having undergone its own unique evolution in the 2020s—released a new song in December 2024.

Formed in San Francisco in the 2010s, Deafheaven has drawn attention with their unique sound that fuses black metal and shoegaze.

With their sixth studio album, “Lonely People With Power,” set for release in March 2025, this track was unveiled in January as the lead single.

Centered on themes of loss and remembrance, it is filled with evocative imagery—such as Southern autumn landscapes and a “sacred heart” beneath the shade of willow trees.

While returning to the heavy sound that marks the band’s roots, the song, paired with emotionally charged vocals, resonates deeply with listeners.

A music video has also been released, making it a track to enjoy visually as well.
