British progressive rock band IQ has announced the release of their long-awaited album Dominion, set to arrive on March 28, 2025, via GEP. This marks their first new material in six years, following 2019’s Resistance.
As a preview, the band has unveiled the music video for the lead single, “No Dominion,” offering fans a first glimpse into the album’s sound and direction.
Peter Nicholls shared: “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 added: “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.”
