'''''Attero Dominatus''''' is the second studio album by the Swedish power metal band Sabaton, as well as the first to feature keyboardist Daniel Mÿhr. The album reached 16th place on the Swedish album charts, remaining in the listings for seven weeks.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://swedishcharts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=Sabaton&titel=Attero+dominatus&cat=a|title=swedishcharts.com - Sabaton - Attero dominatus|last=Hung|first=Steffen|website=swedishcharts.com|access-date=7 October 2017}}</ref>
A video for the title track was shot in Umeå, Sweden, by Nocturnal Rites' drummer Owe Lingvall. For the recording, the band wore camouflage gear, and singer Joakim Brodén donned a vest with metal plates, both features which came to be part of the band's regular stage gear from that point on.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.duonoje.se/articles/hardrock-och-historia-med-sabaton|title=Hårdrock och historia med Sabaton - Articles - www.duonoje.se|website=www.duonoje.se|access-date=7 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171007223830/http://www.duonoje.se/articles/hardrock-och-historia-med-sabaton|archive-date=7 October 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>

== Lyrics == As with the ''Primo Victoria'' album, the lyrics on ''Attero Dominatus'' deals with different war subjects. "Nuclear Attack" deals with the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, "Rise of Evil" with the rise of the Third Reich and Adolf Hitler. "We Burn" deals with the Bosnian genocide from the perspective of Radovan Karadžić and other perpetrators of the massacre. The song "Back in Control" deals with the Falklands War. "In the Name of God" is about terrorism, especially religious terrorism.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.sabaton.net/discography/name-god-lyrics/|title=In The Name of God - Lyrics {{!}} Sabaton – Official website and headquarters|work=Sabaton – Official website and headquarters|access-date=3 November 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161203062457/https://www.sabaton.net/discography/name-god-lyrics/|archive-date=3 December 2016|url-status=|language=en-US}}</ref>
