FROM EYEHATEGOD:
Eyehategod, the self-titled album from New Orleans' favorite musical miscreant, is now available for pre-order in North America on iTunes. The track, Worthless Rescue, will be available for download immediately, with the rest of the album delivered digitally on May 27th.
The dates for the band’s late May/June headlining run with metallic hardcore legends, Ringworm, and morose punk metal perpetrators, Enabler are all confirmed, while today marks a 4 day run on the West Coast followed by an appearance at Three Floyds Beer's annual Dark Lord Day Festival and a special performance in Baltimore, Maryland with High On Fire and Corrosion Of Conformity. A full list of dates can be seen below.
EYEHATEGOD's forthcoming self-titled long player was assembled and financed entirely by the band along with US label partners, Housecore Records. Called, "the record that EHG fans have been waiting for; a stomping and venomous set of eleven tracks that reignite the band's amazing propensity for down-trodden, electric blues and with their late drummer LaCaze behind the kit," by Vice Magazine's music portal, Noisey, Eyehategod features vocals recorded and produced by Housecore president Philip H. Anselmo at his own Nodferatu's Lair and serves as the band's first proper release in over a decade. The domestic version of the release will come in a CD digipack, while the LP will be housed in a gatefold jacket. The first pressing will be limited to 1600 copies and made available in the following color variations: black (600 copies), purple (300 copies), clear (400 copies), purple and grey (300 copies).
