English Dogs
Forward Into Battle
Formed in the northern market town of Grantham in 1981, hardcore punk band English Dogs swiftly built a reputation via demos, supporting Charged GBH and Discharge on early tours. After the debut 'Invasion Of The Porky Men' (1984), original vocalist Wakey was replaced by former Ultraviolent front man Ade Bailey, the inclusion of Destructors' guitarist Gizz Butt pointing to the new metal direction fully mined on 'Forward Into Battle,' Butt's flighty riffs lifting the thrash bedrock to further heights of melodicism. This key piece of archaeology is a must for all English Dogs fans, showcasing their glorious blend of thrash, hardcore, and metal. Limited edition of 300 copies in slipcase. The slipcase comes with the German cover version and the booklet with original cover. The booklet includes lyrics and unreleased photos of the band.
