The first release from the album, “High Risk Trigger,” encapsulates the filth and damaged beauty of Eyehategod. Some of those feelings may be found their way into these songs, but it is mostly subliminal.” Like Eyehategod’s best albums, including 1993’s ‘Take as Needed For Pain’, 1996’s ‘Dope sick’ and 2014’s comeback Eyehategod, the band’s first new full-length in seven years, ‘A History of Nomadic Behavior’, is a blowtorch-distortion and blues-saturated combination of mostly mid-paced songs pierced with scarring pain and disconsolate fury. “During this recording, I thought a lot about how stupid humanity has become and how America is now completely divided with these people who don’t believe in science and blindly follow liars and nonsensical ideologies. “We’re not a political band, but it was hard not to be affected by the news from the past year,” Williams says. We were touring with these people and exchanging war stories, and at the same time I knew they supported and dug what we were doing.”Įyehategod’s new album, ‘A History of Nomadic Behavior’, is a reflection of the chaos and euphoria the band experienced over the past three years of touring crossed with the past two years of political turmoil, pandemic terror and remorseless hypocrisy. “To be able to play with these bands and have them as our peers is really great. They played and toured with some of their favorite bands, such as OFF!, Negative Approach, Sheer Terror, Corrosion of Conformity, AntiSeen and the Obsessed. and play exotic nations they’d never visited such as Indonesia, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Israel, Tasmania and more. They even back-burnered plans to finish the follow-up to 2014’s incendiary Eyehategod album in order to storm stages across the U.S. Back in 2017, all that veteran hardcore/doom-slingers Eyehategod wanted to do was tour, and for about three years that’s all they did.
