Mark Dodson (born 10 September 1953) is a British record producer and sound engineer, who mostly works with artists in the heavy metal genre. He is best known for producing albums by Anthrax, Judas Priest and Suicidal Tendencies.

## Biography

Dodson's musical career began in the late 1970s, engineering recordings by Advertising, Judas Priest, Joan Jett and mixing an album by Jonathan Richman's proto punk garage band, The Modern Lovers. He also worked for a number of heavy metal artists, such as Metal Church, Ozzy Osbourne, Prong, Glenn Tipton, U.D.O. and Ugly Kid Joe.
In late 1980s and early 1990s, Dodson worked with Anthrax to produce two of their albums State of Euphoria (1988) and Persistence of Time (1990) as well as the Europe-only EP Penikufesin (1989) and the compilation album Attack of the Killer B's (1991). Around 1992, Anthrax and Dodson discontinued their collaboration and the band had Dave Jerden produce their next album, Sound of White Noise (1993).

The band parted ways with him in 1991 while they decided to move in a different musical direction for their next album, The Art of Rebellion (1992).
