His Last Walk is the debut studio album by American metalcore band Blessthefall. The album was released on November 7, 2006. [5] It is the only studio album by the band to feature original vocalist Craig Mabbitt, who would later be replaced by Beau Bokan. [6] 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. [7]
