Machine Metal Massacre – Dome Runner’s second album out in November!
Industrial metal juggernaut Dome Runner have been grinding in the underground since 2017, fusing elements of extreme metal, hardcore and alternative with dystopian soundscapes and grinding machinery. Svart Records are proud to unleash their ambitious sophomore album »World Panopticon« in November.
The album’s second single »Salvation Access« was released October 24th and the band’s mastermind Simo Perkiömäki comments on it as follows:
“In »Salvation Access« the album starts closing in thematically through collapse into acceptance, the place that ultimately sets the observer free. While the record deals with the various ways one tends to limit oneself even to the very edge of one’s own purpose, there are eventually deadends where you have to find another way instead of going through. The song represents a storm of light at the end of the tunnel for the soul-searching sun.”

»World Panopticon«, the 77-minute double album, represent the strongest and most unafraid songwriting of the group while going dynamically and sonically further than ever before. Thematically spawn from a dystopian world as an escapist tale fused of observations of modern and future functions of society while simultaneously focusing in rebirth of the observing self-shackled within yet driven to break free, the album takes the listener deeper to the world around and beyond, open for those who dare to dive in.
The first single »Split Self Matrix« displays the inner conflict state of self, to rearrange through combat of polarities, and in order to progress; the inevitable end of one, at the verge of a world beyond. Listen to the single HERE.
»World Panopticon« is out on Svart exclusive ultra clear w/ black smoke vinyl, limited turquoise vinyl, classic black vinyl, and digipak CD. Release date November 21st, 2025.
