France’s leading death metal band BENIGHTED are streaming the title track off their 20th anniversary collection, ‘Dogs Always Bite Harder than their Master’. The track, a vicious sonic assault featuring vocal contributions from Sven de Caluwé (ABORTED) and Nikita (DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT), is streaming now here:

Regarding the new track, BENIGHTED vocalist Julien Truchan comments: “We are very proud to unleash this very special track from our upcoming EP! Sickness and brutality are increased by guest appearance of our brothers Sven (Aborted) and Nikita (Der Weg Einer Freiheit). Enjoy ‘Dogs Always Bite Harder Than Their Master’!”

‘Dogs Always Bite Harder than their Master’ pulls together 3 previously unreleased studio tracks (including one feat. Sven [ABORTED] and Nikita [DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT] on guest-vocals), a cover of an AT THE GATES classic (Slaughter of the Soul), and 5 live tracks from their sold-out 20th Anniversary show. ‘Dogs…’ is strictly limited, and a crucial mile-marker in their ongoing journey. ‘Dogs…’ will be released worldwide on Oct. 12. Pre-orders are available here.
