Following a successful live US invasion with Ringworm and Enabler, Louisiana loudsmiths, EYEHATEGOD,
will take to the streets again next month on a brief but mutinous rash
of live takeovers with Iron Reagan, Vektor and Strong Intention. Slated
to erupt in Washington DC on July 10th, the band will level stages in
six cities, the run coming to a close in Brooklyn, New York at Acheron. Additionally, EYEHATEGOD
will make an appearance at this year's edition of the Housecore Horror
Film Fest in Austin in October with further live infiltrations to be
announced in the weeks to come.
EYEHATEGOD continues to tour in support of their chart-toppling,
self-titled new studio offering, their first in nearly 15 years.
Released on May 27th via Housecore, the record continues to reap praise
and widespread "fuck-yeahs" from fans and media both Stateside and
beyond. Gushes Pitchfork in an 8/10 rating of the record, "After
fourteen years, they've come out swinging, armed with yet another of
their often-renewed leases on life and still spoiling for a fight. That Eyehategod
exists at all is a miracle in and of itself, but the fact that it is so
damn great is simply extraordinary." Adds Stereoboard, "Eyehategod
is a vitriolic demonstration of everything that made this band so great
in the first place. There are brilliant riffs, moments of barely
contained aural violence and, most memorably of all, the
ever-distinctive vocals of Mike IX Williams... worthy addition to the
band's already impenetrable legacy."

In less positive news, EYEHATEGOD's
van was broken into while onstage on Wednesday, June 18th in St. Louis,
Missouri. Various electronics as well as guitarist Brian Patton's
computer bag containing all of his earnings from the tour to that point
were stolen. Police reports have been filed however if anyone has any
information or wishes to help, please contact agnosticzac@gmail.com.

"...a stomping and venomous set of eleven tracks that reignite the
band's amazing propensity for down-trodden, electric blues." - Noisey
"...their most entertaining release since 1996's Dopesick...urgent and raw, as if the band hasn't aged a day." - Consequence Of Sound
"To
say that this album is 'a triumphant return,' or 'the album we've all
been waiting for' are elephantine understatements. This album holds its
own against some of the best of their canon and that alone makes it one
of the best metal albums you'll hear this year." - Metal Insider
