Domination
Domination is the fourth studio album by American death metal band Morbid Angel, following Covenant in 1993. It came out in April 1995 on Giant, and it turned out to be their last record for the label before they were dropped and went back to their former home, Earache Records.
It also marks a change in the line-up, as Erik Rutan of Hate Eternal joined on guitars and keyboards. He left after this album, though he returned for Gateways to Annihilation. David Vincent stayed on vocals until the end of the touring cycle in 1996, when Steve Tucker took over. The video for "Where the Slime Live" is the one to seek out, and the story of the planned "Slime Pack", scrapped after the slime proved toxic, is a nice bit of band lore.
