Release date:
Media type: CD

* There's no bigger selling point than the members of the band themselves.
* The debut album that sets the standards of today's Heavy Metal in a very high position.
* The fine fix between the strength of American Heavy Metal and the melody of European Power Metal.
* The band was the first metal band to use a certain SSL 4000 mixing board which was used by such big names as Janet Jackson, David Bowie, Sammy Hagar, and also in featured movies like Scarface, Top Gun (Academy Award and Golden Globe winner for best original song 'Take My Breath Away') , Superman III, and many more!!

Laws. Every year more and more are put into effect, seemingly to control our every thought, action, and desire. Just as technology has opened the
doors to knowledge and new levels of creativity, lawmakers seek to suppress and control the growth through enforced conformity and political correctness. What if laws started running against this trend? What if a creative force gathered together and made its own rules, defying even the accepted categorizations within its genre?
This law has been ratified!
Leash Law was founded by vocalist Wade Black (Crimson Glory/Seven Witches/Tiwanaku) and guitarist Rick Renstrom (solo/Rob Rock/Tiwanaku) early in 2003. After initial songwriting was underway, they realized that they would need some of the strongest talents in metal to enforce their law.
Enter Emo Mowery (Nocturnus/Tiwanaku) on rhythm guitar, Stephen Elder (Rob Rock) on bass and the legendary Richard Christy (Death/Control Denied/Iced Earth/Tiwanaku) on drums.
Leash Law has created music that disregards the standards of traditional power metal and transcends its limitations. On their debut album, 'Dogface', Leash Law address the modern condition by invoking images of the ancient past and evoking visions of the future. A frequent theme running throughout the album is mankind's obsession with war. The song 'Stealing Grace' addresses the devaluation of human beings as they are thrown into arbitrary conflicts by their governments, while the title track 'Dogface' views the "quiet war" that goes on between governments and the people they are supposed to serve. 'Martial Law' paints a vivid picture of what happens when the government seizes total control of society while 'Fight' is an anthemic rallying call to stand up for your rights and beliefs. 'Paving the Way' sums up the inevitable outcome to the unending warfare--paving the way to Armageddon. Taking a historical turn, 'Hail to Blood' is an epic journey through the days Caesar and the gladiators, from the blood of the battlefield to the excesses of the spoils of war. 'Better When Betrayed' examines the often ruthless and unmerciful nature of the music business.
'Hell Hole' is a guided tour through both the hell on earth and the hell that haunts the minds of the human race.
Amidst this intense, aggressive metal onslaught, there is a moment of peace, namely the song 'Banion', in which Wade pays tribute to the most important people in his life, his recently passed mother and his wife and family.
With 'Dogface', Leash Law have picked up the gauntlet thrown down by their metal predecessors and raised the bar for what metal everywhere
can be.
Metal is the law. Obey the law: Leash Law.
