“We want to be a voice for those who don’t dare speak up." Dogma are a bunch of sexually-charged, corpsepainted, metal-playing nuns. And they're here to spread liberation and queer love in the rock scene.

Dogma .

Dogma vocalist Lilith appears before us from a darkened corner of her convent, corpsepaint and nun habit in place as part of the aesthetic that has made her band so distinctive. She has one important question to ask: “Do you have anything to confess?”

In an effort to purge humanity of their sins, Dogma are burning the Bible and unleashing their own set of carnal commandments to a trad metal-style beat. Drawn together by “a feral desire to rid the world of restrictive societal expectations”, Sisters Nixe (bass), Lamia (guitars), Abrahel (drums) and Lilith are here to prove everyone can be their own God. Delivering roaring heavy metal sermons, the nun quartet are luring listeners into their blasphemous Sisterhood, welcoming in a new era of personal and sexual liberation. “Our mission is far from the ordinary,” Lilith insists. “Dogma is the living embodiment of defiance. My Sisters and I are united souls drawn to the rebellion, standing against conformity in order to allow the beauty of individuality to flourish.”
