Dommin The Martyr

Kristofer Dommin, who operates under the mononym Dommin, is an enigmatic, Los Angeles-bred vocalist, songwriter, and guitarist with a sound born of steely goth rock, rockabilly, and darkly romantic, emo-tinged Americana. Dommin gained attention as the frontman for the goth-metal group of the same name. Between 2006 and 2020, the band issued a string of singles, EPs, and albums, including 2010's Love Is Gone, 2015's Rise, and 2016's Beautiful Crutch, while sharing stages with contemporaries like H.I.M., Lacuna Coil, the Birthday Massacre, Black Veil Brides, 69 Eyes, and Wednesday 13. In 2020, Kristofer Dommin relocated to Brisbane, Australia and began operating as a solo artist. Two years later, he teamed up with Aussie trio the Oztones and released the LP Dommin & the Oztones, a wide-ranging set of material rooted in blues, country, rockabilly, and brooding Americana. ~ James Christopher MongerRead less
