Since 2017, Eyehategod have toured the world almost non-stop, putting new music on hold to play in the USA and, for the first time, in countries such as Indonesia, Vietnam and Israel. They shared the stage with fellow bands such as OFF!, Negative Approach and Corrosion of Conformity. This intense time shaped their new album A History of Nomadic Behavior.
The record reflects tour chaos, euphoria as well as the pandemic, political division and general disillusionment. Although the band does not see itself as political, the events of recent years have been subliminally incorporated. Musically, the album is reminiscent of classics such as Dopesick: distorted, blues-soaked doom/hardcore, mostly mid-tempo, full of anger and pain. Singles such as "High Risk Trigger" and "Fake What's Yours" combine cryptic lyrics with dark, heavy riffs.
The genesis was characterized by setbacks: Mike IX Williams narrowly survived a liver failure, tours were abruptly cut short by COVID, escapes from Eastern Europe were necessary. The band continued to work between tours, discarded material, rewrote and recorded the vocals in 2020 under strict conditions.
Despite all the darkness, Eyehategod see their music as cathartic. They have evolved musically, becoming more professional without losing their rawness. For Williams, the decisive factor remains: as long as it's fun, it goes on - and after more than 33 years, the band is more alive than ever.
