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”.
Rosemary's Child
Dominia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shining dream has gone. Dead sun rising
The lust of the Beast that bursts with sorrow deep within
The Belief that disappears beyond the last horizon
Requiem for the mankind echoes
In the laughter of your son
The doomed world dies out in the cold,
Love that turned to pure hate,
To the great chaos. Pain's just begun
He's a defenseless child. Self-condemnation
The lyrics of Dominia's song Rosemary's Child portray the story of a mother who is haunted by the ghost of her dead son, who is also the child of the devil. The opening line, "Whispering shadows cast on your pale skin", suggests that she is feeling the weight of her son's loss as she is tormented by the dark and mysterious world of sin and supernatural forces. The next line, "Shining dream has gone. Dead sun rising", captures the moment when the mother realizes that her child has passed away and the world as she knows it will never be the same again.
"The lust of the Beast that bursts with sorrow deep within" describes how the mother is struggling to cope with the realization that her son was not just any ordinary child, but the offspring of the devil himself. She grapples with the "Belief that disappears beyond the last horizon", meaning that she can no longer trust her own moral compass as she is consumed by guilt and confusion.
The third stanza speaks of the "Requiem for the mankind echoes" which emphasizes that all of mankind is compromised and traumatized by forces beyond their control. The laughter of the mother's child serves to remind us of the innocence that is lost when faced with evil. The world is depicted as dying out in the cold as we witness the damnation of the little child's eyes. The love of the mother has turned to hate and chaos, and the unbearable pain has just begun. The child is defenseless and self-condemned, and the mother is left to grapple with a traumatic reality.

I thought the chorus lyrics were closer to: They call (God is dead) They scream (Satan lives!) They whisper Judge be a mother for her own child They don't love your son (And they don't forgive) (for)give your misery <- the give is like an echo of the 'forgive' from the prior line Some sit quiet and listen while
