After a few years of building up a new band they made a significant addition. Violinist and keyboard player Casper became a new member and gave a definitive and clear direction of style to the outfit. The band was named Dominia and the style formed itself to a fusion of different influences. These where especially gothic metal and classical music. The combination of diverse elements did not become a mechanical combination of styles, but a character thatto this day defines the music of Dominia.
Besides working with the band, which now also included Papa, a former street fighter, on drums, did the individual skills of Rosa and Casper develop in other areas. Rosa graduated as an actor from St.Petersburg's Academy of theatrical art. Casper finished his classes at the Rimsky-Korsakov State Conservatoire.
The growing interest in Dominia in the metal clubs of St.Petersburg was accelerated by Casper joining forces with a second violinist, the experienced musician Kat. They both played at that time in the symphony orchestra of the State Capella of St.Petersburg. Kat joined Dominia after a split up with a previous metal band.
Konsta Byleev of the metal management agency Big Brother Entertainment met Dominia at a live venue. He liked their specific style and he liked the band members. They started their cooperation. At this time in the fall of 2004 did Dominias style go through a change from an alternative “doom metal” mode to a more melodic, but rough and heavy music.
The first recordings of Dominia where done in Oulu, in northern Finland in August 2005. The two-track cds was released in November 2005 by UHO Production in Finland. Dominia signed with UHO for future cooperation.
In February of 2006 Dominia started to record their debut album at the Sound Supreme studio in Hämeenlinna. Produced by Janne Saksa the forthcoming album, named “Divine Revolution”, was recorded during February-June. The album release is in mid-September of 2006.It will be preceded by a cds with two tracks from the album: “The Darkness of Bright Life” and “With Pain into Eternity” and an additional bonus track “Cellar Door”.
Behind the universe
Dominia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They call it the saviour, the curing fire
Still hiding the most secret desire
To rust in the kingdom of blasted skies
Hear the voices, the voices in your heart
It is sweet enslavement of soul's loss
Pray for me, for the world that is falling apart
For another dead creation with his arms across
Scream
Blind reptiles were born of your virgin daughters
I'll drag you through the magic way
Of endless tortures
Where are your one-day, yet exhausted gods?
They're like a joke, a joke, I swear
I am nowhere and I am everywhere
Drinking poison with milk of sluts
Pull the trigger, the final fireworks
It rises above in speaches of a perfect liar
The planet Earth through obscuring smoke
There will be a new world
Healing the blind by fire
Scream
Blind reptiles were born of your virgin daughters
I'll drag you through the magic way
Of endless tortures
In blood on infant lips
Towards unending bliss
I am the total madness force
From outer worlds, behind the universe
The lyrics to Dominia's song "Behind the Universe" are complex and multi-layered, touching on themes of imprisonment, desire, enslavement, destruction, and rebirth. The first verse sets a bleak tone, describing the "ugly prisons of human lives" and the false promise of salvation through "the curing fire." There is a sense of suppressed desire lurking beneath the surface, as the singer notes that even those who claim to be saved are hiding something "most secret." The reference to "rusting in the kingdom of blasted skies" suggests a kind of decay or stagnation that is both physical and spiritual.
The chorus shifts to a plea for help, as the singer urges listeners to "hear the voices in your heart" and join them in praying for a world that is "falling apart." There is a sense of futility to this plea, as the singer acknowledges that the world is already filled with "another dead creation" with arms crossed in resignation. The second verse introduces a more overtly apocalyptic tone, with references to "blind reptiles" and exhausted gods. The singer positions themselves as a force of total madness, capable of both destruction ("pull the trigger") and rebirth ("there will be a new world healing the blind by fire"). The final line, "from outer worlds, behind the universe," suggests a supernatural or otherworldly power at work.
Overall, "Behind the Universe" is a dark and powerful meditation on the human condition, blending elements of science fiction, spirituality, and social commentary. The music video for the song emphasizes the eery, otherworldly qualities of the lyrics, featuring images of interstellar landscapes, ominous shadows, and hypnotic visual effects.
Line by Line Meaning
Ugly prisons of human lives
Human beings are trapped in miserable lives like they are in a prison
They call it the saviour, the curing fire
They refer to something as a saviour, which is supposed to cure and save them
Still hiding the most secret desire
But underneath, they conceal their hidden urges and cravings
To rust in the kingdom of blasted skies
To decay and perish in a barren and desolate world above
Hear the voices, the voices in your heart
Listen to that inner voice that speaks to you
It is sweet enslavement of soul's loss
It is an alluring addiction that drains away your soul
Pray for me, for the world that is falling apart
Please pray for me and the world that is disintegrating
For another dead creation with his arms across
For the next lifeless being who awaits death with open arms
Scream
Shout in terror and horror
Blind reptiles were born of your virgin daughters
Crude and unthinking reptilian creatures came into existence from the innocent offsprings of humans
I'll drag you through the magic way
I'll lead you through an enchanted path
Of endless tortures
Filled with a ceaseless cycle of agony and suffering
Where are your one-day, yet exhausted gods?
What happened to your former, though faint, gods?
They're like a joke, a joke, I swear
It's a complete farce and I'm certain of that
I am nowhere and I am everywhere
I exist in no specific place and at the same time in every space
Drinking poison with milk of sluts
Consuming deadly toxins along with impure substances
Pull the trigger, the final fireworks
Shoot the gun and witness the last of the fireworks display
It rises above in speeches of a perfect liar
It soars in a speech delivered by a perfect liar
The planet Earth through obscuring smoke
The Earth is hidden behind a veil of smoke
There will be a new world
A new world will emerge
Healing the blind by fire
Restoring sight to the blind through flames
In blood on infant lips
With crimson stained lips of innocent newborns
Towards unending bliss
Moving towards an infinite state of happiness
I am the total madness force
I am the complete embodiment of madness and chaos
From outer worlds, behind the universe
From a realm beyond, behind the expanse of the universe

Fantastic music! And the video is great too and fits with the music. But maybe 'dominiaaaaaaa' should have put a age limitation on it.
