EYEHATEGOD Frontman Interviewed By METAL ASSAULT (Audio)

November 17, 2010

On November 17, Aniruddh "Andrew" Bansal of Metal Assault conducted an interview with vocalist Mike Williams of New Orleans-based, doomed-out, punk/blues/southern rock hardcore freaks EYEHATEGOD. You can now listen to the chat using the audio player below.

EYEHATEGOD will head out on another American trek this December in support of absolutely nothing but the glory of hedonism and debauchery. Also appearing on the bill will be PHOBIA.

EYEHATEGOD is the originator of a genre now known as sludge, a combination of raw, sick vocals and slow, heavy, down-tuned, grooving negative riffs that run together in a live setting in a sometimes volatile mess of guitar feedback, pounding drums, cigarettes, beer, vodka and hurt feelings.

As previously reported, AlexIsLegend.com has uploaded video footage of EYEHATEGOD's entire June 13, 2010 concert at Club Hell in Providence, Rhode Island. The first of seven clips can be viewed below.

EYEHATEGOD has been punishing the masses with its matchless brand of New Orleans sludge metal since the beginning of June. The band — vocalist Mike Williams, guitarists Jimmy Bower and Brian Patton, bassist Gary Mader and drummer Joey LaCaze — completed its last U.S. tour this past spring in Chicago at the Empty Bottle where they performed the coveted first two EYEHATEGOD full-lengths, "In The Name Of Suffering" (June 19) and "Take As Needed For Pain" (June 20) in their entirety.

Since forming in 1988, EYEHATEGOD has defied all odds and continues to exist and persist despite personal and professional setbacks. They've been called doomcore, sludge and stoner rock, survived line-up shuffles, label hassles and a short-lived split. And after more than a decade of creating some of the most corrosive, vile music known to man, EYEHATEGOD still hasn't lost the piss and vinegar that fueled it back in '88.
