BENIGHTED · Dogs Always Bite Harder Than Their Master | BLACK LP

Black vinyl in gatefold cover. 20th anniversary release.

Background information about 'Dogs Always Bite Harder Than Their Master'

Two decades later, BENIGHTED's vicious debut statement still cuts deep with surgical precision. "Dogs Always Bite Harder Than Their Master" stands as a monument to French extreme metal's early 2000s brutality – a time when the Lyon collective was forging their signature blend of technical death metal and grindcore savagery. This anniversary edition captures both the raw studio fury and the band's legendary live intensity, making it essential for any serious death metal collection.

The original studio tracks showcase BENIGHTED at their most primal and focused. "Teeth And Hatred" opens with characteristic violence, while the title track delivers the kind of crushing riffs that would define their career. Their cover of At The Gates' "Slaughter Of The Soul" proves these Frenchmen understood the Gothenburg legacy perfectly. But it's the live recordings from Lyon 2018 that truly elevate this release – featuring guest appearances from scene luminaries like Sven from ABORTED and Niklas from SHINING, these tracks pulse with the electricity of BENIGHTED's notorious stage presence.
