following the completion of DARGAARD's debut release.
At the time, Tharen's interests turned to the development of a new style of music.
As apparent in DOMINION III's 2000 debut CD,
"The Hand and the Sword", Tharen successfully created this
innovative sound dubbing it apocalyptic electronic music.
Two years after DOMINION III's impressive debut,
Tharen and company return to Napalm Records' Draenor Productions
with their follow up, "Life Has Ended Here".
Fans will welcome the more prominent industrial edge and guitar-driven
force of this outstanding disc.
The style continues to be characterized by hard and aggressive rhythms
combined with hopeless and sinister soundscapes.
DOMINION III still features the voice and artistic know-how of
Elisabeth Toriser (Dargaard), as well as the guitar lines of
Jörg Lanz (Amestigon, Graumahd), whose contributions have significantly increased since lending his guitar prowess on the project..s first release.

Status 2006 is that DOMINION III and Napalm Records parted ways,
and the band is searching for new possibilities to release their music.
The songs for the new album are composed and are ready to be recorded for the next DOMINION III release.

Dominion III Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I laugh into the shining sun
Bright it shines
And it laughs back
What I've thought of yesterday
It is blown away by this bright pride
My sorrow, my fears
All die in this shining brightness
A discovery for the eyes
Of course the last one
Many people told me
What they'll do in their last minute
I don't believe them anymore
I pit down my mask
And I laugh into the shining sun
I put down my mask
And I laugh into the shining sun
I thought about what I'll do
In my last minute
But what else could I do than staring
Nothing survives
I put down my mask
And I laugh into the shining sun
Bright it shines and it laughs back
What I've thought of yesterday
It is blown away by this pride
My sorrows, my fears
They all die in this shining brightness
All die in this shining pride
A discovery for the eyes
Of course the last one
One second to live
One thought remains
Is this unreal
Is this unreal
One second to live
One though remains
Is this unreal
Is this unreal
One second to live
One thought remains
Is this unreal
Is this unreal
The lyrics of Dominion III's song Unreal talks about the concept of mortality and living life to the fullest. The singer of the song puts down their mask, letting go of the façade they have been carrying and embraces the shining sun. The shining sun represent life, and the singer finds solace in it, as it fades all their sorrow and fears away. The singer thinks about what they would do in their last minute, realizing that nothing survives and it is pointless to hold onto things that do not matter. The song's chorus repeats the phrase "One second to live, One thought remains, Is this unreal" which highlights the transiency of life and how we should enjoy every moment of it.

I put down my mask
I removed my façade and exposed my true self
And I laugh into the shining sun
I feel happiness and joy shining upon me
Bright it shines
The sun shines brilliantly and radiantly
And it laughs back
Nature seems to respond to my laughter with its own joy and beauty
What I've thought of yesterday
My previous worries, anxieties, and troubles
It is blown away by this bright pride
The overwhelming sense of joy is wiping away my previous thoughts
My sorrow, my fears
The negative emotions and thoughts that have been plaguing me
They all die in this shining brightness
The radiant sun causes all of my negative emotions to disappear
A discovery for the eyes
I have seen something I had not before, something beautiful and ineffable
Of course the last one
Implying that this is something that can only be experienced in our final moments
Many people told me
Others have shared their last-minute plans with me
What they'll do in their last minute
The things they plan to do, the emotions they intend to feel
I don't believe them anymore
The singer has become more cynical about what others say they will feel at the end of their lives
I pit down my mask
Reinforcing that the singer is shedding their façade
And I laugh into the shining sun
Returning to the sense of joy and wonderment
I thought about what I'll do
The artist had also considered their own last-minute plans
In my last minute
Thinking about the final moments of their life
But what else could I do than staring
The singer seems to be at a loss for what they could do other than gaze upon the beauty of the world
Nothing survives
In the end, everything and everyone must die
One second to live
Acknowledging that death could come at any moment
One thought remains
The final thing the artist will think about
Is this unreal
The beauty and wonderment of the world seems too fantastic to be real
Is this unreal
Repeating the same questioning thought, as if it is the most important thing to consider
