Dominator (Cloven Hoof album)

Dominator, released in 1988, is the third full-length studio album by the British heavy metal band Cloven Hoof. This science fiction concept album debuts singer Russ North and guitarist Andy Wood (both from Tredegar) in the band, as well as drummer Jon Brown. This album also shows Cloven Hoof's musical direction leaning more towards power metal than their previous releases.

In 2011 the album has been digitally remastered and reissued by Metal Nations (UK record label). The CD can be pre-ordered (first 50 orders include a free sew-on patch of the album) online on the band's site.
