UK progressive rockers IQ recently announced the release of Dominion, their long-awaited new studio album. The record represents the band’s first new music in 6 years following-up 2019’s Resistance and will be released on March 28th, 2025.
Today, the band has released the lyric video for the album’s first single titled “No Dominion” which you can see below.
Peter Nicholls says about the arrival of Dominion: “Hot on the heels of Resistance’ six years ago! Yes, it’s been a long time coming (we couldn’t be accused of rushing these things!) but we’re confident this album is really strong and has been worth the wait. To be releasing a new IQ album in our 44th year feels genuinely exciting”.
Mike Holmes adds: “We did actually write a lot more material for Dominion, but this choice of songs (and the running order) feels like a cohesive album to me. Even in this age of streaming individual songs I still approach a new album with a ‘side one’ and ‘side two’ thing in my head and the selection and placement of songs for Dominion just feels like a classic album should (I know, I’m using ‘old people’ speak!).
“The original intention was to have a second disc of other material but that would have taken a lot longer to put together and we figured six years was quite enough. It does mean that there’s already quite a bit of stuff ready for the next one.”
Dominion will be available in a six-panel digi-sleeve CD with a 16-page booklet and a one-disc colored vinyl album in a gatefold sleeve.
Dominion tracklisting:
- The Unknown Door
