As previously reported, Domain's ninth studio album will be a concept album like the Last Days Of Utopia album, but this time arranged and conceived as a 'metal opera'.
Vocalist Nick Ruhnow created a 12 chapter drama, based on the legendary epistolary novel Die Leiden Des Jungen Werther by famous German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The opus will be performed by guitarist Axel Ritt, keyboarder Erdmann Lange, bassplayer Steven Wussow and Nick Ruhnow himself, enriched with hard and anthem metal, epic heavy rock and ballad elements.
Released for the first time in 1774, the story Die Leiden Des Jungen Werther became a key work in German literature regarding the 'Storm And Stress' period and describes an impossible love against all moral concepts, which provokes extreme emotional reactions up to the point of a spate of suicides among young readers of the novel.
