DOMINUM are back: the rising stars of modern metal offer the first taste of their upcoming album Night Is Calling, set for release on July 3 2026 via Napalm Records. “The Circus Is in Town” serves as both the lead single and the album opener, lifting the curtain on the thrilling and mad world of Dr. Dead’s band’s third offering.
Following their previous album The Dead Don’t Die (2024), which stormed into the top 10 of the German charts, “The Circus Is in Town” delivers once again with infectious riffs and catchy choruses. DOMINUM captures this gripping atmosphere in a spectacular music video—no one can escape this dark circus!
Dr. Dead comments on „The Circus is in Town“:
“The Circus Is in Town. There’s no point in looking away. We’re coming—city by city. Unstoppable. Real people. Real monsters. Real nights. You’re part of it. Join us. Night Is Calling.”
DOMINUM, led by mastermind and singer Felix Heldt—better known as Dr. Dead—open the next chapter of their dark, theatrical universe with their new full-length Night Is Calling. With their bombastic sound and outstanding stage presence, the band continues its rapid ascent on the international metal scene, without losing sight of its strengths: theatrical, melodic, and uncompromising modern metal—driven by the dark charisma of Dr. Dead and his zombies. One thing is certain: the Living Dead Squad continues to grow.
Night Is Calling is now available for pre-order, with selected formats including the bonus album Live at Wacken 2025.
