Biog / Info
DOG ALMIGHTY rose from the ashes of Norwegian band SPAN, previously signed to Universal / Island, selling 55,000 records worldwide and pretty much touring the world for 2 years before calling it a day in 2005.
In January 2006 Joff, Kim and Fred along with new singer Sindri formed their band, Dog Almighty. They experienced a creative explosion which turned into 13 kick-ass songs. When they wrote lyrics they sat down and discussed the topic they would write about for hours, before putting it into words. That way they can stand tall for every word and feeling about the topics that engage them. They then started building their studio where they've spent 100's of hours producing their album. And what an album it is -intelligent lyrics with songs that rock - throwing metal, punk and hardcore into the mix without losing sight of melody
and dynamics.
Released in Norway and UK, every cover is hand made by the band. No bullshit. That means your copy will have their fingerprints all over it, but with only 1000 copies of this ltd edition album up for grabs be quick !
Dog Almighty also produced and directed their own video for the song "Already There". Lead tracks from the album are “Sinner”, “Already There”, “Let It Go” and “Drunk
With Fear”
Dog Almighty is a rock band, so the music should do the talking. Come to a gig and find out why the floor was vibrating when they supported Stone Sour at Rockefeller Music Hall in Oslo, and why the monitors were covered in blood last time they played Club Maiden in Oslo.
