Eyehategod: tuned in to our moment of turmoil
THERE’S NO ESCAPING the objective reality that times of turmoil, strife and widespread agitation are perfect for the release of a new Eyehategod record. If one band has the ability to nail life’s perpetual grubbiness and enervating repetition, via the well-respected medium of deeply fucked-up sludge metal riffs, then it’s New Orleans, Louisiana’s finest.
Spewed up in our direction a mere seven years after their blistering, thuggish self-titled effort – which itself emerged after a 14-year gap – A History Of Nomadic Behaviour confirms that nothing has changed and Eyehategod still sound like a druggedout brawl at the last chance saloon: tweaked-out catharsis, delivered via a bar-stool to the head. And it’s still one of the most unashamedly obnoxious and exhilarating noises available anywhere on this accursed planet.
