Since forming in 1988, EYEHATEGOD have defied all odds and continue to exist and persist despite personal and professional setbacks. They’ve been called doomcore, sludge and stoner rock, survived line-up shuffles, label hassles and a short-lived split. And after more than a decade of creating some of the most corrosive, vile music known to man, EYEHATEGOD still haven’t lost the piss and vinegar that fueled them back in ’88.
