Dominus Xul - To The Glory Of The Ancient Ones album cover

DOMINUS XUL are coming from Santiago, Chile and they have released "The Primigeni Xul (I condemned my enemies)" as a debut album and afterwards a compilation called "Nostrum Antiquos Dominus". They were formed in 1992 under the name DOMINUS and they changed their name into DOMINUS XUL in 1998. After the Death of Danny Grave the band split up and most of the members formed MELEKTAUS. They reunite before some years and they released "To The Glory Of The Ancient Ones" under Xtreem Records.

From the first track, it sees what's following. Their music is pure Death metal with lyrics characterized by Anti-Christianity, Death and darkness.  Let's put some details, here we have demonic riffing, doomed atmosphere and occult aesthetic through a personal feeling. The main influence of DOMINUS XUL are INCANTATION and some hints of MORBID ANGEL. They are managing their influences pretty good and they are keeping their personal style integer. The keys of their success are: professionalism, experience and conceptual strength, which are missing from many bands of their area. Tracks as "Burying the holy lies (manifesto of apostasy)", "The secret of liquid arcane", "I raise Lucifer", "A tribute to the real knowledge", "The ancient initiator(Bringer of light)" and "Elements against weakness" are tracks of excellent Death Metal. Check it out!
