Eyehategod: New Album at the End of May

After the unexpected death of Joey LaCaze (drums), EYEHATEGOD did not give up but instead continued undeterred, playing concerts and writing new songs. These will be compiled into a new, the fifth full-length album in the band's history, which will simply be titled "Eyehategod" at the end of May. Buddy Philip H. Anselmo will release the record on his Housecore label. You can already check out the first song - "Agitation! Propaganda!".

Singer Mike IX Williams comments as follows:

I have to say I don’t believe we’ve lost nary a step in the creation of this album and we think these newer songs are a killer combination of classic EYEHATEGOD mixed along with our best production, mixing, engineering and songwriting in thirteen years. The main and total tragic break in the chain, was obviously last year’s death of our great friend and drummer Joey LaCaze. However, his original drum tracks made it onto the final master recordings and we’re fucking psyched about that … As for working with Housecore, it was a no-brainer. We’ve always been a family, and will always remain a family.

Philip H. Anselmo is excited to be there for his buddies from New Orleans:

Being a part of the new EYEHATEGOD record is a dream come true. I’ve known, supported and loved the guys for almost as long as I’ve been playing music myself, and it is our pleasure here at The Housecore Records Compound to have ‘em aboard. And I gotta mention, having heard the new record, this is the EYEHATEGOD record every true fan has been waiting for ... Hail!
