Description
Eyehategod are, along with Crowbar, pioneers of the extremely heavy, muddy and just disgusting type of twisted doom metal brewed in the swamps of Louisiana in the late 80s/early 90s known as sludge metal. With their 1992 debut album ‘In the Name of Suffering’ the band introduced us to the vilest piece of music imaginable without actually getting silly a la brutal death metal/goregrind. There are no lyrics about dismembering children and eating them for breakfast or raping fragile, old women. Front-man Mike Williams writes the lyrics for Eyehategod and they’re some of the darkest and most misanthropic lyrics you can come across. Personal struggles that include drug abuse, self abuse, rape, torture and what not are some scary things that are perhaps way too common among us. Williams sounds like he’s been drinking and smoking way too much (which probably was the case at one point). His vocals are harsh, brutal and agonizing to hear and suit the equally agonizing music perfectly to create a very bleak atmosphere of dead hopelessness.
