"Breaking The Chains" is the fiery title track from Dokken's 1983 US debut album. This fast-paced, assertive anthem established the band's signature sound: a blend of hard rock melody and heavy metal muscle. It's an early showcase for the shredding guitar wizardry of George Lynch and features a classic, driving rhythm. The song’s music video, with the band literally breaking free from chains, helped establish their early presence on MTV.
