ZOMBIE-METAL AT Z7
Fascinating storytelling, ingenious songwriting and musical skill: these are the ingredients with which Nuremberg's Dominum took the metal scene by storm three years ago. In December 2026, Dr. Dead and his zombies will present their unbridled power metal with horror appeal for the first time as headliners on our stage. They have their new third album (release: July 2026) in their tour baggage.
The Nuremberg-based power metal high-flyers Dominum arrived on the scene with a bang in 2023: they immediately reached the top 20 of the German album charts with their debut album "Hey Living People" and won over a lot of fans with their horror-inspired lyrics, powerful compositions, banging covers of Dead or Alive, Billie Eilish or Midnight Oil and theatrical performances. The mastermind behind the project is singer Felix Heldt, who has made a name for himself as a songwriter and producer for bands such as Feuerschwanz and Visions Of Atlantis. As Dominum frontman Dr. Dead, he takes listeners into the world of the undead and tells stories of zombies, the fight for survival and an insatiable greed for more. With their debut album, Dominum conquered the European stages as support for scene giants such as Bruce Dickinson, Avantasia, Feuerschwanz and Peyton Parrish or through celebrated festival shows in front of tens of thousands of fans. The second prank followed at the end of 2024. The zombie metal combo unleashed the undead once again with "The Dead Don't Die" and this time climbed into the top 10 of the charts. In addition to ten new tracks, Dominum served up a fat cover version of the Scorpions' howler "Rock You Like A Hurricane". With their two albums, Dominum have also been regular visitors to Pratteln in recent years. In December 2023, they presented themselves to fans for the first time as the support act for Apokalyptische Reiter. In December 2024, they were our guests again with Feuerschwanz. Their next appearance followed in December 2025 as special guests of Battle Beast. In the meantime, the power zombies have evolved from a high-end warm-up act to a main act and will be headlining for the first time in December 2026 with their third album, which will be launched at the sold-out Rockharz Festival in July
