Domini Inferi is a black metal act from Schiedam near Rotterdam, active since 2006 and whose Latin name — "lords of the underworld" — frames their music as infernal sovereignty. Nearly two decades of atmospheric black metal have established them as fixtures of the South Holland underground.

Alhambra, California's Dominion have been carving out their corner of the West Coast death metal underground since 2016, trading in the kind of punishing, technically-minded brutality Southern California has long incubated. The band's Bandcamp presence under the "ashen" moniker hints at a sound steeped in ash-and-ruin imagery befitting the genre's bleakest tendencies. They represent the current generation of LA-area death metal acts keeping the flame burning in the shadow of the genre's old guard.
Dominion was a black metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2016 and now split up. The band released at least two recordings — the 2021 album "Hordes of Horror" and a 2022 self-titled album — through the Ashen Dominion Bandcamp page before ceasing activity.
Dominion III is an Austrian industrial electronic project created in 1998 by Alexander Opitz (known as Tharen), also the founder of the gothic project Dargaard. The project serves as Opitz's vehicle for heavier, guitar-driven industrial expression, incorporating black metal elements and post-apocalyptic atmosphere alongside vocalist Elisabeth Toriser. Their debut album The Hand and the Sword (2000) on Draenor Productions was followed by Life Has Ended Here (2002) on Napalm Records.
Dominion of Ashes is a death metal band from Sheffield, originally formed in 2018, featuring vocalist Lee Dunger, guitarist Tom Proctor, and bassist Tom Wren. Their 2022 Wretched EP draws influence from The Black Dahlia Murder, Slayer, and Suffocation, mixed and mastered by Aiden Roker at Electric Bear Studios.
