About

Eyehategod is an American sludge metal band from New Orleans, Louisiana, active since 1988. Their sound fuses Sabbath-heavy doom riffs with hardcore punk aggression, anchored by the raw vocals of Mike IX Williams and lyrics circling addiction and social decay. Alongside Crowbar and Down, they are widely credited as founders of the NOLA sludge scene and have influenced countless bands worldwide. Six studio albums span their career, with "Dopesick" (1996) and "A History of Nomadic Behavior" (2021) regarded as genre landmarks.
