In 1994, King's X unleashed their inner beast. After four albums of intricate, harmony-laden rock, the band shattered expectations with Dogman, their heaviest, darkest, and most emotionally raw album to date. Is this their definitive masterpiece?

Join host Duff for a deep dive into the record that changed everything for King's X. Produced by the legendary Brendan O'Brien (Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots), Dogman introduced a grittier, heavier, and more metallic sound to the band's formula. We're exploring the crushing riffs, Doug Pinnick's soul-shattering vocals, and the profound lyrics that make Dogman a landmark album of 90s rock.

In this Duff Dive, we explore:

• The band's deliberate shift to a heavier, grittier, and more aggressive sound.
• A track-by-track breakdown of fan-favorites like the iconic title track "Dogman," "Black the Sky," and "Pillow."
• The album's legacy and its status as a fan-favorite masterpiece.
