Heir Corpse One return with their most ambitious chapter yet, with the new album “Destination: Domination”. Picking up the narrative thread from the debut of the band led by Rogga Johansson, the record follows the undead survivors of the doomed luxury-jet crash as they embark on a grotesque mission toward the heart of power. Their macabre flight sets loose a plague of undeath across the land, transforming farms and towns into slaughtergrounds. As brutal survival machines rise to resist the onslaught, the dead continue their relentless advance. With humanity collapsing under the weight of the black infection, a blasphemous Undead Nation emerges - an age where death claims absolute rule.
Heir Corpse One was formed in 2020 by Rogga Johansson (Paganizer, Massacre, and many more) and Peter Svensson (Cales, Assassin’s Blade, Void Moon) with the goal of crafting classic Swedish death metal rooted firmly in the iconic “Sunlight Studio” sound. The line-up is completed by lead guitarist Kjetil Lynghaug (Mordenial, Vredesblod, Paganizer) and drummer Marcus Rosenkvist (Assassin’s Blade, To Descend, Anchorite).
The band’s debut album presented a full-fledged concept story about wealthy passengers fleeing the pandemic in a private jet, only to crash, descend into cannibalism and trigger a zombie outbreak. The EPs that followed explored different dark corners of the band’s universe: “Caribbean Frights” tapped into Caribbean folklore infused with Cthulhu mythos, while “Chopping Spree” delivered a barrage of gore-driven tales of butchery and death.
With “Destination: Domination”, Heir Corpse One now expand their apocalyptic saga into its most devastating form.
