Teeth (film)
[edit]Immortal Dominion featured on the soundtrack of the breakout indie film Teeth. Another band had landed a song on the movie, but they broke up and were arguing about the rights to the songs. So Morris Beagle from Fist Music (distributor) sent the movie's Director, Mitchell Lichtenstein, music from several of his bands and they picked five songs from Immortal Dominion's album "Awakening".[2]
The film won a juror's award for best actress at the Sundance Film Festival, and was purchased by Lionsgate/The Weinstein Company. It was released nationwide in February, 2007 via Roadside Attractions, and has drawn considerable attention to Immortal Dominion on the strength of the song "Sold My Soul".[3]

[edit]For Primortal the band worked with producer Sterling Winfield (Pantera, Mercyful Fate).
