Ursus Dominus Unleashes Debut Album Claws Upon the Skullmount
September 08, 2025 – New River Valley, VA — The wait is over. Rising heavy metal force Ursus Dominus has officially released their thunderous debut album, Claws Upon the Skullmount, now streaming worldwide on Spotify.
Forged in riffs as sharp as claws and rhythms as crushing as avalanches, Claws Upon the Skullmount captures the primal power of the band’s vision: a relentless sonic assault that blends aggression, atmosphere, and raw storytelling. Each track paints a vivid landscape of struggle, fury, and triumph atop the metaphorical Skullmount.
Behind the chaos stands a united creative front. MJ spearheaded much of the album’s sonic architecture, pushing the boundaries of tone and texture while keeping the band’s savage core intact. Kyle brought lyrical fire, weaving together tales of rage, resilience, and the brutality of existence. And Big Nate hammered it all home with uncompromising precision, anchoring the record with bone-shattering grooves and an unmistakable low-end roar.
“This record is a war cry,” said Ursus Dominus in a joint statement. “It’s the sound of us climbing the mountain, claws out, daring anyone to try and stop us.”
Claws Upon the Skullmount is available now on Spotify and all major streaming platforms. Fans can expect live performances to follow, where Ursus Dominus will bring their crushing debut to the stage with unrelenting force.
