Some longtime followers of Impious have noted that the veteran death metal band occasionally uses keyboards on Death Domination. In death metal and black metal circles, the use of keyboards is often equated with taking a more melodic and nuanced approach. But don't let the presence of keyboards on this 2009 release fool you; Death Domination is a vicious, unforgiving sledgehammer of a CD. This definitely isn't the work of a kinder and gentler Impious -- not by any means. Truth be told, the Swedes' occasional use of keyboards on this 36-minute CD is merely an afterthought; Death Domination thrives on harshness, and dense, brutally ferocious tracks such as "Hate Killing Project," "I Am the King," and "As Death Lives in Me" don't hesitate to beat, batter, clobber, and pummel the listener into submission.
