His Last Walk

His Last Walk is the debut studio album by American metalcore band Blessthefall. The album was released on April 10, 2007.[9] It is the only studio album by the band to feature original vocalist Craig Mabbitt, who would later be replaced by Beau Bokan.[10] The album was released before Blessthefall started to play on the Taste of Chaos tour. The last song, "His Last Walk", features a hidden track called "Purple Dog", which is a joke song made by the band members in which all members sing the song and clap their hands.
