Also in 2006, In the Name of Suffering was re-issued with 4 bonus tracks. They were soon picked up by Century Media however, who re-released In the Name of Suffering as it is known today. Very few copies of the album were printed on the original label before they dissolved, leaving Eyehategod again to shop for labels. ![]() In the Name of Suffering was a far more primitive and raw sound than later releases (as it was recorded very cheaply and the band members were fairly inexperienced at the time), and had a more hardcore feel to it. They eventually got signed to a small French label Intellectual Convulsion, and released their first album, In the Name of Suffering. The band then recorded the demo Lack of Almost Everything in 1990 and sent it out to various labels. ![]() Jimmy Bower and Joey LaCaze founded the band on Ap(4/20), and they recruited Mike Williams, Brian Patton and Steve Dale. Very little is known about early Eyehategod. for the first show after Seth Putnam came out of his coma. The band is friends with Anal Cunt and performed with A.C. Their records had been released consistently by Century Media Records though the band's most recent output is on Emetic Records, not including the numerous splits released under various labels. They are combined with walls of feedback and tortured vocals to create a harsh misanthropic vibe. Heavy, detuned, and bluesy guitar riffs dominate the band's sound. Throughout the years, their core line-up has remained the same, with the exception of the bass guitarist, a slot which has seen several come and go.Įyehategod have noted The Melvins,The Obsessed, Black Flag, and Black Sabbath as key influences to their sound. They have become one of the most important bands to emerge from the NOLA metal scene. Music that still very much hurts.Eyehategod is an American sludge metal band from New Orleans who formed in 1988. From the bitter pill of opener “Built Beneath the Lies” to the hypnotic haze of closer “Every Thing, Every Day” it’s clear that that EYEHATEGOD hasn’t slowed or mellowed with time. A History of Nomadic Behavior finds the band, now slimmed to a four-piece rounded out by bassist Gary Mader and drummer Aaron Hill, leaner and meaner than ever road-hardened by recent tours with Black Label Society, Corrosion of Conformity and Napalm Death in the US and abroad. With a discography including sludge-punk mainstays like In the Name of Suffering (1990), Take as Needed for Pain (1993) Dopesick (1996) or 2014’s eponymously-titled LP, released in the US through Housecore Records, EHG laid the cracked foundation for their infamous and influential sound. ![]() That’s been the blueprint since guitarist Jimmy Bower (also of NOLA supergroup, Down) founded the band in 1988 with vocalist Michael IX Williams joining not long after. Anyone familiar with EHG’s story knows this is survivor’s music, a sound unto itself where Sabbathian riffs are meted out with a caustic anger that goes beyond punk. That’s the sense of disenchantment and disease that lies the heart of their latest and sixth full-length album, A History of Nomadic Behavior. Since 1988, they’ve been a soundtrack for the troubled masses. New Orleans’ EYEHATEGOD is the snarling, bilious sound of dead-end America.
