Eyehategod (also abbreviated and referred to as EHG) is an American sludge metal band from New Orleans that formed in 1988. They have become one of the most well known bands to emerge from the NOLA metal scene. Throughout the years, their core line-up has remained, with the exceptions of the bass guitarist, a slot in which several musicians have played, and the death of drummer Joey LaCaze in 2013.
Eyehategod have noted Melvins, Carnivore, The Obsessed, Discharge, Black Flag, Corrosion of Conformity, Mercyful Fate, Black Sabbath, Celtic Frost, Confessor and Saint Vitus as key influences to their sound. Heavy, detuned, and bluesy guitar riffs dominate the band's discography. They are combined with walls of feedback and tortured vocals to create a harsh misanthropic vibe. The band was friends with Anal Cunt and performed with them for the first show after their frontman Seth Putnam came out of his coma.
Eyehategod is the fifth studio album by American sludge metal band Eyehategod which was released on May 26, 2014 in North America through Housecore Records and May 27, 2014 in Europe through Century Media Records. It is also considered as posthumous album for late drummer Joe LaCaze whom was deceased in August 2013 due to respiratory failure and replaced by Aaron Hill.
A music video was made for "Medicine Noose".
