DOMINUM – Undead power metal apocalypse at Reload! In 2026, they will be on the Reload stage for the first time – and they’re bringing a whole horde of the undead with them. DOMINUM from Nuremberg combine anthemic power metal with a good dose of horror and a stage aesthetic that oscillates between comic, end-time film and heavy metal theater. Led by frontman Dr. Dead, who directs his undead crew like a mad scientist, every concert becomes a macabre, energetic spectacle.

Founded in 2022, DOMINUM have quickly caused a stir – not only with their own songs, but also with cleverly staged metal covers of tracks such as Bad Guy or Rock You Like a Hurricane. Musically, they are firmly rooted in power metal, but spice up their sound with hard rock edges, bombastic choruses and cinematic elements. The result: songs that are as epic as they are direct.

Live, DOMINUM is a mixture of a burst of energy and morbid theater: masked musicians, striking light and sound effects, moments between goosebumps and grins. Those at the front are swept away – and at Reload 2026, the motto is: Hey Living People – the dead have arrived!
