Metalville Records announced September 20th as the international release date for a re-release of Dog Eat Dog’s long-lost studio album ‘Walk With Me.’
With the title track Dog Eat Dog dive into darker water both lyrically and musically. Vocalist John Connor originally wrote the words over the Timberland beat for ‘Cry Me A River’ but the band put their unique spin on this title track. Brandon Finley‘s excellent percussion adds a new dimension to the band’s groove. Dog Eat Dog drag the listener into the dark waters of alienation and loneliness while somehow inviting them to join them on the journey with a massive chorus led by a catchy saxophone. Dog Eat Dog’s ‘Walk With Me’, released by Nuclear Blast in 2006, is an impressive testament to the band’s creative power and musical versatility. Although it was only available for a short time, it has left a lasting impression and is one of the hidden gems of rock music.
Dog Eat Dog, known for their innovative blend of rock, punk, and funk, experienced a period of intense creativity in the early 2000s. After several successful albums and tours, the band decided to create an album that would reflect their musical development and experiences of the last few years. Work began on ‘Walk With Me’, and the band members spent countless hours in the studio perfecting their musical ideas. The lineup of the band on album was John Connor (vocals), Dave Neabore (bass, vocals, guitar), Brandon Finley (drums) and Sean Kilkenny (guitar, vocals). The album was recorded at Claus Grabke Studios in Gütersloh, Germany and produced by Claus Grabke and Dog Eat Dog.
‘Walk With Me’ is an outstanding album that captures the creative essence of Dog Eat Dog at their best. The combination of catchy melodies, powerful rhythms, and a fascinating origin story makes it an essential part of any music collection. Now fans finally have the chance to buy this masterpiece again as a CD digipack and limited-edition orange vinyl – and it’s also available digitally for the first time. The production of the album is first class, with a clear and dynamic sound that perfectly captures the energy and passion of the band. The careful mixing and well-thought-out song structures make ‘Walk With Me’ a pleasure to listen to, both at high volume and in quiet moments.
