Their guitarist's name is Jimmy Bower. He's also one of the most prolific and important musicians in New Orleans,both as a guitarist and drummer. Other notable bands he's belonged to/is in are Crowbar,Corrosion of Conformity,Superjoint Ritual,and Down.
You can thank Bower for mostly anything you hear from NOLA...he played drums in a shit load of bands back in the late '80's for demos and stuff like that as well.
Sludge metal is a form of heavy metal music that fuses doom metal and hardcore punk. Sludge metal is typically aggressive and abrasive; often featuring shouted vocals, heavily distorted instruments and sharply contrasting tempos. I thought that sludge was exactly that LOL
Hey, for all those who argue about the genre, Mike himself said in the special Vynil edition (I think it's a reissue of Take As Needed for Pain) that the band's genre is Southern Hardcore Blues. Let's keep it that way, okay?
Like any acquired taste, once you have it, it's your favorite. I fucking love EHG now, and without fail, when I catch a buzz I want EHG and not much else. Love.
the magnetic underneath the strings on the body of the guitar. it is essential to an electric guitar and plays a big role in the overall sound/tone of the guitar. if you got any guitar questions, feel free to message me.
When they played this in Finland the crowd raided the stage, people stage diving everywhere and shit. It's the exact opposite what the crowd was doing in this vid. Crazy shit.
Gear wise? I saw SuperJoint Ritual a couple of years ago and his setup was as follows: He uses a David McNaught custom guitar, a Gibson SG and a Gibson Sonex. He removes the high E and B srings and plays through Randall heads with the bass and volume all the way up and the treble all the way down. I think he uses Mesa Cabs.
dude i usually dont like metal (exept for sabbath) but this band and stoner metal kicks ass. its like these bands really got a black sabbath influence.
does any nola/eyehategod freak know when a new album is coming??i know they've been through a lot of crap and DOWN is very busy right now but hell,i want a new one soooo bad,preaching was their last and its been so long,well the real last album was back in 99 or 2000 confederacy...info?
No doubt. Check out Cavity. I can guarantee you that you'll like them. The only problem is that their stuff tends to be REALLY hard to find. I think they broke up in 2002. They were definitely inspired by EHG.
dean ml, dean v, gibson les paul, sg, flying v mahogany guitars give a darker sound in my experience and humbucker pickups are the only way to go. hope i helped
@fetusliquor just my two cents: sometimes EHG makes me smile! there's something that feels soooo good when you listen a great sludggish, slow, distorted riff that just makes you smile & drop another shot of tequila! :)
EYEHATEGOD Terribly underrated band, I'm surprised they are not taken into account in metal. If You Ask Me Dopesick and Confederacy Of Ruined Lives are the heaviest albums they've ever made. They sound very extreme! Take As Needed Pain isn't far behind either.
Some bands like EHG throw in some hardcore too. And I've tried to play Bower-style riffs. It is hard to not make faces while doing it. Heavy+Bluesy+Punky=looking like you got kicked in the balls.
@Andrew11381138 all of them but dopesick and confederacy of ruined lives are my favorites, there good albums to listen to from start to finish because they have an atmosphere to them

That he is, brotha. THAT. HE. IS 🤘🏻
Interviewer to Philip H Anselmo: "What is the New Orleans sound?"
Philip: "Jimmy Bower!"
Never liked the sound of guitar feedback...that is until I found Eyehategod.
EYELOVEFEEDBACK
If it wasn't for Mikey EHG would have been old news 10 years ago. Its his voice and perspective with that slow sabbath crunch that keeps it here.
2:07 -
such an awesome riff
You can thank Bower for mostly anything you hear from NOLA...he played drums in a shit load of bands back in the late '80's for demos and stuff like that as well.
EYG is wayyyy badass to listen to when ur super stoney thats wat makes this band epic

Jimmy Bower what a fucking awesome musician!

SLUDGE is my kind of music I enjoy of it, and it makes me smile.

Of course!
They're great. The singing fits perfectly.
This song is incredible.
Just fucking awesome! Bower Power!!
Like any acquired taste, once you have it, it's your favorite. I fucking love EHG now, and without fail, when I catch a buzz I want EHG and not much else. Love.
Who cares what the genre is. ITS FUCKING AWESOME. Thats all that matters.
fucking awesome, one of the best riffs ever
I hate god, he's never been there for me
EyeHateGod, always there for me
Intoxicating riffs
sick vocals
Jim's an awesome drummer! Badass musician.
Thank you. thats what ive said since i listened to eyehategod. its not sludge its Southern Hardcore Blues.

way better and more relaxed than when we saw them at uno. Rock On.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When they played this in Finland the crowd raided the stage, people stage diving everywhere and shit. It's the exact opposite what the crowd was doing in this vid. Crazy shit.
Eyehategod has always been music to my ears !!!!!! For the Sick !!!

dude guitar just sounds filthy . Has to be one of my fave bands.
Yea, it was years that I just couldn't stomach them and now all of the sudden I'm addicted to them.
Awesome fucking riff! I can play the entire song ^^
All in all, I'm seeing this guys this month :)
Listening to EHG makes all my problems disappear!
The power of the fucking music!
I have picked most of it appart; great jam !
@WPcannibal The singer Mike IX is best friends with Phil Anselmo and the guitarist Jimmy Bower is the drummer for Down.
I'm hoping to make it to that gig... trying to find some mate who's willing to go, but none are EHG fans.
Bower Power!:-)
I agree, if you're still here lol
favorite fucking band, only seen them once but i was in a trance the entire time
Yeah. He's done drums for COC,Down,Crowbar,and I think some other lesser known bands.
AMAZING!!
I quite like your term for this music. Describes it pretty well.
@blackbloodvomitorium I'm seeing them april 3rd in Dublin! I've heard something about Black Cobra Supporting them in the US i think?
dude i usually dont like metal (exept for sabbath) but this band and stoner metal kicks ass. its like these bands really got a black sabbath influence.
Great band. Great song. Shame I can't say the same about the crowd.
that crowd needs to drink more...Hail EYEHATEGOD \m/
The singer and bassist from PanterA are also in Down...
"You've should have know the price of evil.
And it hurts to know that you belong here."
0:00 - 0:38 best guitar solo ever
Maybe I'll bump into you guys in the crowd then, haha. Should be fucking great! Desperate to see them.
Any more rumours on the support bands?
right here on youtube.
Say it with me.
EYEHATEGOD!!
does any nola/eyehategod freak know when a new album is coming??i know they've been through a lot of crap and DOWN is very busy right now but hell,i want a new one soooo bad,preaching was their last and its been so long,well the real last album was back in 99 or 2000 confederacy...info?
eyehategod makes me smile. cause of how dirty those fucking riffs are
Hell yeah

I approve of this sentiment.

HOLY SHIT! the first time i listened to this band, fuckin AWSOME!

Dopesick man. Good luch, their records are pretty damn hard to find

No doubt. Check out Cavity. I can guarantee you that you'll like them. The only problem is that their stuff tends to be REALLY hard to find. I think they broke up in 2002. They were definitely inspired by EHG.
@Andrew11381138 I strongly recommend to start with Take as needed for pain!
fuck yeah man thats some real fucking good music
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
We live in the dirty south for a reason. stick tight, stay sludge, and stay hesh friends
the bass and the guitar players are watching their instruments very closely while playing,,,,it must be that badass riff!!!

+Hayk Galstyan fuck religion!
I fucking love this band!
eyehategod rules yo
@paskiiainen
SLUDGE is my kind of music, I enjoy of it, and it makes me feel like I'm under a pressure of 3500 Bar.
Nice; eyehategod owns.
@HammarHeart awesome jam duder
TRUE OUTLAWS-- love Mystick Krewe just as much.
The tone on that SG is amazing. Wonder what pickups he's using?
dean ml, dean v, gibson les paul, sg, flying v mahogany guitars give a darker sound in my experience and humbucker pickups are the only way to go. hope i helped
BOWER POWER \m/
too true
@fetusliquor just my two cents: sometimes EHG makes me smile! there's something that feels soooo good when you listen a great sludggish, slow, distorted riff that just makes you smile & drop another shot of tequila! :)
I'm having a nice day alright, goddammit. :^]
Brian sporting old school Wu-Wear! Too fuckin cool!
THC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
eyehategod forever fuck yeah!!!
SO PISSED ugh fuckin love it.
I came.
In Eye Haet God's faces.

Who would you say is your first? If they're sludge, and it's not Cavity I'd love to check them out.
best ehg song!
BRIZZOL! JUNE! WITH CHURCH OF MISERY! GET STOKED!
EYEHATEGOD Terribly underrated band, I'm surprised they are not taken into account in metal. If You Ask Me Dopesick and Confederacy Of Ruined Lives are the heaviest albums they've ever made. They sound very extreme! Take As Needed Pain isn't far behind either.
I'm a Yankee and I never turned down any Southern Sludge. Raw as fuck.
This statement=truth.
TOTALLY!!!
you got that right man. killer killer killer
Hell can't be worst than a life close to you, so i'd choose Hell, if only it'd exist.
i love you
behind the melvins of course
the bass ;)
dont forget the SOILENT GREEN thing!!
Some bands like EHG throw in some hardcore too.
And I've tried to play Bower-style riffs. It is hard to not make faces while doing it. Heavy+Bluesy+Punky=looking like you got kicked in the balls.
what well done vid but no 2nd guit? anyone can post outlaw order vids?
@Andrew11381138 all of them but dopesick and confederacy of ruined lives are my favorites, there good albums to listen to from start to finish because they have an atmosphere to them
