“30 Years Of Take As Needed For Pain” Tour Dates
*** No GOATwh**e
In March 2021, EYEHATEGOD released its first new full-length album in seven years, “A History Of Nomadic Behavior”, via Century Media Records. The LP 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.
“A History Of Nomadic Behavior” followed a period that saw EYEHATEGOD on the road for three years, preceded by Williams suffering liver failure and a transplant. “We toured our asses off for three years and that’s where ‘A History Of Nomadic Behavior’ basically comes from,” Williams said before touching on his health challenge: “Death is a part of life; it’s a roll of the dice. Sometimes you take life as it comes, other times you fight to stay alive.”
EYEHATEGOD‘s previous album, a self-titled affair, came out in 2014. It arrived a decade and a half after its predecessor, 2000’s “Confederacy Of Ruined Lives”. EYEHATEGOD‘s 1990 “In The Name Of Suffering” and 1993 “Take As Needed For Pain” studio albums are considered their seminal works and are often cited as pillars of the American sludge sound alongside ACID BATH, BUZZOV*EN and CROWBAR.
EYEHATEGOD 2023 lineup:
