His Last Walk is the debut studio album by the American metalcore band Blessthefall. The album was released on November 7, 2006. It is the only studio album by the band to feature original vocalist Craig Mabbitt, who would later be replaced by Beau Bokan. 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.
The album was re-released through Ferret Music, featuring an acoustic version of "Rise Up" and "I Wouldn't Quit If Everyone Quit" as bonus tracks, the latter of which was previously released as a stand-alone single.
Music and lyrics The album's genre is post-hardcore. There are clean guitar tones in the intros and choruses of many songs. The album explores themes such as religious faith, emotional abandonment, and love.
