True, “Eyehategod” calls such blitzes as “Melvins”, “Carnivore”, “Discharge”, “Corrosion Of Conformity”, also “Celtic Frost”, “Saint Vitus” and even “Black Sabbath” as its sources of influence, and although which of all these bands can be felt in the sound of these New Orleanians today. “Eyehategod” could be classified as “sludge metal” – slow, distorted guitars and strong, aggressive, rough vocals,” the concert organizers announce them, and it’s true.
The group’s discography includes six official studio albums, the last of which dates back to 2021 – “A History Of Nomadic Behavior”.
