Eyehategod

EyeHateGod emerged in 1988 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The band began its career as a quartet, composed of Michael Williams (song), Jimmy Bower (guitar), Joe LaCaze (battery) and Steven Dale (bass). Freshly signed by Century Media, EyeHateGod released his first album, In The Name Of Suffering, in 1992. Reinforced by a second guitarist from their neighbours of Soil Green, Brian Patton, the Southerners put the cover back a year later with Take As Needed For Pain. Their fame then grew, allowing them to share the poster with Napalm Death, Godflesh, or Corrosion Of Conformity, but also to appear on many splits. After Jimmy Bower's Down interlude in 1995, EyeHateGod faced Steven Dale's departure. He was replaced by Vince LeBlanc, then directed Bayou to record a third album with Billy Anderson (Sleep , Acid King , OM , etc...). Dopesick came out in 1996 and will benefit from a promotion of choice since Pantera's buddies will ask them to accompany them on the road in 1997. Increased awareness, which will lead to a great deal of dissension in training, supported by increasing drug abuse. A break then takes place to avoid the split, period allowing Mike Williams to integrate the rehab treatments. Daniel Nick is now in charge of bass and thus palliates at the recent departure of Vince LeBlanc. Once released, the quintet returns in 2000 with two releases under the arm: a fourth album, Confederacy Of Ruined Lives, as well as the compilation of b-sides Southern Discomfort. A taste for relics that will be strengthened the following year with the retrospective Ten Years Of Abuse (And Still Broke) gathering old demos and live titles from different eras, then in 2005 with a Preaching The End-Time Message with similar content (demos, b-sides, live). While a fifth album is still waiting, EyeHateGod has to change bass player again. It is not necessary to look very far since Guy Mader will be retained, the latter also acting in the side-project of Mike Williams, Joe LaCaze and Brian Patton : Outlaw Order . In 2014 finally released the long-awaited album, it does not bear a name, so it is an eponymous opus that balances EyeHateGod, on the whole well received by critics it shows that Americans are still green.
