EYEHATEGOD Self Titled Limited Black Vinyl LP

Overview:
As a band that helped create a genre as well as equate a city with a sound, EYEHATEGOD have always remained humble anytime words like "legend" were thrown around to describe them. The thing with legends is that they grow stronger in time and over the years; word of mouth has been kind to the band. New Orleans' EYEHATEGOD is bigger now than they ever have been in their 25 plus years as a band. Pretty impressive seeing as they haven’t released a full length album in almost 15 years. Most people who know the band have a story to tell or they heard a story about the guys. Whether it was them playing nothing but feedback to a bewildered White Zombie crowd during their opening stint for the arena metal band in the mid-nineties, being banned from a certain venue for attacking a promoter with a barstool or cleaning out entire small towns of their drug supply, these stories spread throughout the metal community over the years, usually through a game of one up-manship, establishing them as one of the most notorious bands around.

Certainly not the first band to be surrounded by myth and lore, EYEHATEGOD’s staying and growing power ultimately comes from the music. No one riffs like Jimmy Bower and Brian Patton. Drummer Joey LaCaze grooved and held it together with numerous bass players throughout the years, doing so impeccably with Gary Mader over the past decade. Singer Mike IX Williams has always been able to encapsulate the ruins of life through his lyrics and vocal delivery. All combined, the music is the most genuine, distressing cacophony of sound around.
