Not a single weak album and two records very close to a 9. Axel Ritt and all the other guys that been part of the band deserve to be recognised a lot more. They never found a solid fanbase and when Axel got the Grave Digger gig it was pretty much done at that point. Axel is a interesting guitar player when he has the forum to explore different paths, in Grave Digger his too locked in for my taste. I still hope for one last Domain album!

1.Domain - Stardawn

2.Domain - Last Days Of Utopia

3.Domain - Before The Storm

4.Domain - Crack In The Wall

5.Domain - Our Kingdom
