Notes:
The "blind dog" returns after almost four years and
again rocks the house that the beams crack and the
speakers start to glow. Since 1995 Tobias Nilsson
(vocals/bass) and Joakim Thell (guitars) roam through
the underground and in 1999 the Swedes, together with
Thomas Elenvik (Drums/Hammond Organ), drew attention to
them for the first time with their debut "The Last
Adventures Of Captain Dog" and received mostly positive
feedback for their through and through solid Rock
album. Their partly bluesy Rock reminded of old
veterans like JETHRO TULL, KISS, LED ZEPPELIN and TED
NUGENT as well as newer genre representatives as KYUSS,
CATHEDRAL or the SPIRITUAL BEGGARS. But that was not
enough, Heavy Metal riffs in the style of old METALLICA
also time and again found their way into the songs of
the Scandinavians.
After the label change from People Like You to French
Listenable Records BLIND DOG blow the attack again with
their second effort "Captain Dog Rides Again" and seem
to be wildly determined to get the promotion to the top
flight. Musically that should have been possible with
the debut already, but the tracks of the new output
would really deserve it even more because of their
compactness and variety. The walk on the razor's edge
between Seventies Rock, Stoner Rock of the 90s and a
few Metal elements is great and at the same time very
entertaining. The songs of "Captain Dog Rides Again"
have been recorded in Berno Studios (THE HAUNTED,
DERANGED), so also in terms of production there is no
room for complaints.
So "Iron Cage", "Would I Make You Believe" and
"Unsellable" flow from the speakers very powerfully,
while "Follow The Fools" and "Back Off" especially
convince through their calm, almost hypnotizing parts.
No matter how BLIND DOG approach the songs, they almost
always manage to leave a lasting impression. Despite
their progression, the three Northmen have stayed true
to themselves and should satisfy fans of their first
album without any problems and with good promotion also
find enough new listeners. In this condition "Captain
Dog" may saddle his horse many times still and preach
the world of Rock'N'Roll.
