Eyehategod Announces Spring North American Headline Tour Dates

Southern sludge legends Eyehategod have just announced a handful of Spring North American headline dates. Following their current tour supporting Clutch, the band will be hitting the road with support from IV and the Strange Band starting April 11th in Milwaukee and wrapping on April 17th in Tulsa.

Then Eyehategod will ramp touring back up with direct support from Bat starting on April 27th in Atlanta and wrapping on May 7th in Portland, with appearances from Come To Grief, Escuela Grind, and Snafu on select dates. Come check out the band that Rolling Stone dubbed as one of "America's great live bands".

EYEHATEGOD will be touring in support of their most recent full-length album A History of Nomadic Behavior. The 12-track album was produced by EYEHATEGOD, Sanford Parker (YOB, VOIVOD) and James Whitten (THOU, HIGH ON FIRE), with mixing by Whitten. The band recorded at HighTower Recording and Hypercube studios. The artwork for the LP was created by Gary Mader and Mike IX Williams.

New Orleans' EyeHateGod is the snarling, bilious sound of dead-end America. Since 1988, they've been a soundtrack for the troubled masses. Ugly music for ugly times. That's the sense of disenchantment and disease that lies at the heart of their latest and sixth full-length album, A History of Nomadic Behavior.

Anyone familiar with EHG's story knows this is survivor's music, a sound unto itself where Sabbathian riffs are meted out with a caustic anger that goes beyond punk. That's been the blueprint since guitarist Jimmy Bower (also of NOLA supergroup, Down) founded the band in 1988 with vocalist Michael IX Williams joining not long after. With a discography including sludge-punk mainstays like In the Name of Suffering (1990), Take as Needed for Pain (1993) Dopesick (1996), Confederacy of Ruined Lives (2000) or 2014's eponymously-titled LP, released in the US through Housecore Records, EHG laid the cracked foundation for their infamous and influential sound.
