Dogman (King's X album)

Dogman is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal/hard rock trio King's X. It marks the band's second album under Atlantic and their first to be produced by Brendan O'Brien, who had just come off scoring big hits with Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, and The Black Crowes. Dogman signaled a heavier direction for King's X and, with strong approval from both critics and fans, is often considered one of their best works.

Background and recording

According to frontman Doug Pinnick, while longtime King's X producer Sam Taylor had a big influence on the band's sound, he never captured the heaviness of their live performance in the studio. Taylor ended production duties with King's X after four albums together. When the high profile Brendan O'Brien approached King's X about creating an album together, the band enthusiastically accepted. Shortly prior to the start of Dogman, guitarist Ty Tabor had started transitioning over to Mesa Boogies and Marshall amplifiers. In the studio, Tabor and O'Brien spent little time tightening the guitar tone when recording which was also Tabor's first experience recording with new amps. He later entrusted the tweaking to O'Brien who "brightened them up a bit and made them a little more edgy sounding." Although, the band actually favored some of the demos over the final songs. These would later be released simply as Dogman Demos in 2005.
