Okay, so seriously, the band is called “Leash Law” and the album is called “Dogface”. Doesn’t that pretty much sum this up?

No?

Sigh...

Formed in 2003, Leash Law are an American metal band which are probable most notable for featuring drummer Richard Christy of Iced Earth and Death fame, as well as vocalist Wade Black, who had sung on power metal band Crimson Glory’s 2000 album ‘Astronomica’. I actually really enjoyed that album, so had some interest in what this ridiculously-named band were like, but I should have guessed just by the title.

This is generic metal at its finest. The riffs are uninteresting, with each song sounding the same as the last, and none of them standing out either. The production sounds pretty weak, and everything just feels dated. But the true letdown is that Black’s vocals just kind of sit there, screeching away willy-nilly, out of tune and with no notable melodies, a poor man’s version of Tim “The Ripper” Owens.

I don’t want to dwell on this for too long as I’ve listened to ‘Dogface’ a number of times, and nothing sticks. In fact, there’s a similar word to “Dogface” they could have used to name this album which would have been much more appropriate, but hell, this is my fault for thinking a band named “Leash Law” could actually put out anything of substance in the first place.
