EYEHATEGOD To Release New Self-Titled Album In May; 'Agitation! Propaganda!' Track Streaming
March 11, 2014, 10 years ago
New Orleans, Louisiana's EYEHATEGOD will release their new, self-titled album, their first in 13 years, on May 21st in Japan (Daymare Records), May 26th in Europe, Australia and New Zealand (Century Media), and on May 27th in North America (Housecore Records). The album artwork can be seen below:
The recording process for the new album started with producer Billy Anderson back in the fold (he recorded 1996’s Dopesick). Anderson tracked drummer Joey LaCaze’s tracks prior to LaCaze’s tragic passing last year. A few months later the band reconvened at longtime friend Phil Anselmo’s home studio with producer Stephen Berrigan (DOWN) to finalize the recording. Mixed by Sanford Parker (VOIVOD, CORRECTIONS HOUSE), the album was entirely put together and financed by the band who later shopped it around to labels. With long last friendships with many of the CM European staff, they felt this was the best home for them.
"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 EHG mixed along with our best production, mixing, engineering and songwriting in 13 years." front man Mike IX mentions. "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..."Check out the album track 'Agitation! Propaganda!' below:
Complete album details will be revealed soon. Stay tuned.
