German modern metal rising stars DOMINUM have unveiled their latest single ‚Dark Melodies‘, a sweeping waltz-tempo ballad taken from their forthcoming third album ‚Night is Calling‘, due July 3, 2026 via Napalm Records. The band has simultaneously announced a headline tour across Europe for autumn 2026.DOMINUM are showing no signs of slowing down. The German modern metal outfit, led by frontman and mastermind Felix Heldt — better known as Dr. Dead — have released ‚Dark Melodies‘, the third single from their upcoming album ‚Night is Calling‘, set for release on July 3, 2026 via Napalm Records. Described as a waltz-tempo ballad, the track draws listeners in with a dark atmosphere, powerful vocals and a sweeping chorus that further establishes DOMINUM’s knack for crafting massive, hook-driven anthems with a horror aesthetic.
The new record follows ‚The Dead Don’t Die‘ (2024), which stormed the German top 10 charts and cemented DOMINUM’s position as one of the most compelling acts in the current European metal landscape. Produced by Felix Heldt and mixed by renowned producer Jacob Hansen, ‚Night is Calling‘ promises heavier riffs, larger choruses and an even more cinematic dramatic arc. Highlights include the explosive opener ‚The Circus is in Town‘, the anthemic ‚Doctor Doctor‘ and the title track featuring a guest appearance by BATTLE BEAST’s Marina La Torraca.
To celebrate the album release, DOMINUM have announced an extensive European headline tour for November and December 2026, supported by THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA, taking in dates across Germany, France, the UK, Hungary, Austria, Switzerland and Belgium. Select formats of ‚Night is Calling‘ include the bonus album ‚Live at Wacken 2025′, available as limited vinyl and earbook editions through Napalm Records‘ mailorder. DOMINUM continue to build their undead empire one infectious hook at a time.
