Serpentine Dominion

A hard-charging American melodic death metal/metalcore unit based around the talents of extreme metal superstars vocalist George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher (Monstrosity, Cannibal Corpse), guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz (Killswitch Engage), and drummer Shannon Lucas (Black Dahlia Murder), the idea for Serpentine Dominion began germinating in 2009, when all three of the members' flagship bands appeared at that year's Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. After finally clearing out some time for it, the band tapped Killswitch frontman Jesse Leach to pen some lyrics, and headed into the studio to begin laying down tracks for an LP. The passion project's eponymous debut was released on Halloween weekend, 2016, via Metal Blade. ~ James Christopher Monger
