Dominus was a metal band from Ringsted, Denmark, specializing in death metal and groove metal, active between 1991 and 2001. Their discography includes one single, two demo recordings, and four full-length albums. The band initially embraced a death metal sound but transitioned to groove metal with their 1997 release Vol.Beat. Their final album, Godfallos (2000), showcased a fusion of thrash and death metal influences.
Following the group's dissolution, vocalist and guitarist Michael Poulsen went on to establish Volbeat, a band named in homage to Dominus's Vol.Beat album, carrying forward a related musical style enriched by wider inspirations. Additionally, Jens Peter Storm became part of the Danish thrash ensemble TONS, collaborating with former Dominus drummer Daniel Preisler Larsen.
