History

The band was started by Tharen (real name unknown) in 1998 shortly after his other band, Dargaard, released their debut. Dominion III was his expression into heavier industrial music to express his feelings. As with Dargaard, it also features the vocals of Elisabeth Toriser. Dargaard is a Neo-Classical Darkwave, band from Austria. ...


Tharen dubbed the music apocalyptic electronic music with their debut release "The Hand and the Sword". The music was very expressive and heavy, and delt with dark and angry themes. Tharen's music often displays traits of this, coming from a Black Metal background. The band was signed to Napalm Records as were Tharen's other musical projects. Black metal is a musical genre related to styles of heavy metal such as death metal. ...


The second release came two years after "The Hand and the Sword", titled "Life Has Ended Here". The music displayed a more industrial edge and was far more guitar driven. This was because of the addition to the line-up of Jörg Lanz, who was in Tharen's Black Metal band Amestigon. The music continued to display an aggressive nature combined with sinister soundscapes.


Tharen has spoken of moving Dominion III to another record label, one more centered around industrial music. No news has been released of this new record label at the time of writing, but the relationship with Napalm records remains good.

AAW: Dominion Tank Police Review (1466 words)
Dominion is an anime classic with a little bit of everything: lovable characters, fun action in abundance, silly humor in all the right places, and (true to Shirow form) a really convoluted plot.
Not to say that Dominion is the best of the lot, but it captures his comedy-sprinkled drama and the feel of the original manga version very well, despite some significant changes to the story.
In all, Dominion is well worth a look if you enjoy light, wacky (and occasionally a bit sadistic) comedy with an occasional dose of convoluted plot and philosophy, though the second half of the story is a bit slower and more philosophical than the first, so come prepared.
Dargaard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (626 words)
Tharen was the keyboard player in Abigor, but Amestigon, Dominion III (also known as Dominion³ but this name is no longer used) and Dargaard are entirely his projects.
Elisabeth was also the vocalist in Dominion III and was also involved in the band Antichrisis.
She claimed in an interview to have split with this band because it interrupted her studies, and she felt their musical conception was different.
