Domine is an epic power metal band started in the mid-1980s in Florence, Italy. Founded by the Paoli brothers, Enrico and Riccardo, the band recorded four demo tapes, and had many reviews and interviews in a lot of fanzines and magazines around the world before they released their first full-length album, Champion Eternal. Upon the release, the band was compared by mags and fanzines to Manowar, Queensryche, Warlord, Omen, Helstar, Candlemass, and Iron Maiden.
The band was voted among the best Italian bands and best newcomers in all Italian metal magazines, and got the third place as new band on the Greek Metal Hammer readers’ poll (just after Hammerfall and Rhapsody). After the release of the album, Domine played some gigs, the best being the one at the Italian Gods Of Metal Festival in Milan, and the one as support for Rip and Grave Digger during their Italian tour.
With the first album, the band established its personal style with epic metal songs like “Stormbringer (The Black Sword)” and “Army of The Dead”, and power metal assaults like “The Mass Of Chaos” and “The Midnight Meat Train”, while also creating progressive structures like the epic title track, “The Eternal Champion”, a 12-minutes-long suite divided into seven parts. Domine is particular amongst power metal bands in that almost all of their albums are inspired by the Eternal Champion novels by Michael Moorcock, especially the Elric of Melniboné saga, and/or Conan the Barbarian by Robert E. Howard.

Wow quanto tempo (e quanta ricerca di perfezione) è passato dal demo del 1986? E' bello sentire come cambia (in meglio) un gruppo, da proprio un senso di crescita. Già nei primi lavori si intravede una certa buona originalità anche se, vuoi per le registrazioni, vuoi per l'età dei componenti stessi, non sono proprio ascoltabili... poi fortunatamente, con tempo e volontà sono diventati quello che sono oggi... rimane di quel demo una grande traccia che è "King of all the Kings". Hail Firenze Metallara. Il Metallo regna nel Granducato!.

Their Stargazer and Queen of the Reich covers are f'n brilliant! I cannot believe how high Morby's voice is (was?) and how great the band sounds even playing these classic songs outside their genre(although they had to have a huge impact in creating epic metal in the first place). I also get some major Michael Kiske vibes at the beginning of the song For Evermore when Morby sings slowly, with low volume. He's one hell of a singer, although plain Italian sounding, monotone. :P That's okay because he has to be one of the best of Italy, if not the very best.

I don't really listen to too many Power Metal bands but these guys are pretty good... multiple albums based on Elric & Michael Moorcock books gets them many points in my book.
