Dominus was a death metal band from Ringsted, Denmark, which formed in 1991 and split up in 2000-2001. They released one single, two demos and four albums. Though mostly known for their first two death metal albums, they moved into a groove metal direction on 1997's "Vol.Beat" release and would go on to fuse that sound with thrash metal and returning death metal elements on their final release, 2000's "Godfallos".

When the band split up after their last album (2000/2001), lead singer and guitarist Michael Poulsen went on to form the band Volbeat, named after the Dominus album "Vol.Beat" and continuing that overall sound with a wide array of different influences. Jens Peter Storm would go on to perform lead guitar in the Danish thrash metal band TONS, a band which also featured fellow Dominus member Daniel Preisler Larsen.
