Eyehategod (also abbreviated and referred to as EHG) is an American sludge metal band from New Orleans, Louisiana, who formed in 1988.[1] They have become one of the better known bands to emerge from the NOLA metal scene. Their core lineup has remained consistent since the band's inception, with the exception of the bassist (the role of which has been filled by several musicians over the years), until the death of drummer Joey LaCaze in 2013. As of 2021, the band has released six studio albums.

Key Information

The band were friends with grindcore group Anal Cunt and performed with them for the first show after their frontman Seth Putnam was revived from his 2004 coma. Putnam had previously filled in for Mike Williams at a show in New Orleans during Mardi Gras in 1996. Williams was out of town at the time.[2]

History

[edit]

Formation, demos and first two albums (1988–1995)

[edit]

Jimmy Bower and Joey LaCaze founded the band on April 20, 1988 (in accordance with 4/20 in cannabis culture), and they recruited Mark Schultz, Steve Dale and vocalist Chris Hilliard.[3] Hilliard would later leave the group early on, and would be replaced by Mike Williams. The band then recorded two demos Garden Dwarf Woman Driver (1989) and Lack of Almost Everything (1990); the latter was sent out to various labels. They eventually got signed to the small French label Intellectual Convulsion, and released their first album In the Name of Suffering in 1990. The album had a far more primitive and raw sound than later releases (as it was recorded by the inexperienced band members for only $1,000),[4] and had a more hardcore feel to it. The label dissolved with only a couple of thousand copies having been printed, so the band had to find a new label. They soon signed with Century Media however, who re-released In the Name of Suffering on December 1, 1992, as it is known today.[5] Also in 2006, In the Name of Suffering was re-issued with four bonus tracks. These four tracks were the same as those on the original demo Lack of Almost Everything.

Eyehategod then went on to record Take as Needed for Pain in 1993,[5] with new bassist Mark Schultz who had also contributed on In The Name Of Suffering. The album was recorded at Studio 13, a small recording studio working from the 13th floor of an abandoned department store on Canal Street in New Orleans.[4] The band played daily during this period to put down tracks for the album. At the time, Mike Williams was homeless (having been thrown out by his former girlfriend) and living in an abandoned, flea-infested room above a strip club just a few minutes away from the studio. The sound of Take as Needed for Pain seemed much closer to what the members intended than the material on In the Name of Suffering, and it shows a cleaner, more distinct sound with better defined riffs. The southern rock, blues, and doom influences are also more distinctly felt on this album. After the release of the album, the band toured extensively with acts such as Chaos UK, Buzzov*en, White Zombie and Corrosion of Conformity. After touring, the band members briefly spread out in different directions. Mike Williams busied himself contributing to Metal Maniacs magazine. Jimmy Bower played drums on Crowbar's Broken Glass as well as Down's debut album, NOLA. Brian Patton recorded Soilent Green's debut album, Pussysoul.

Dopesick and Confederacy of Ruined Lives (1995–2000)

[edit]

The band had been recording several demos, which were released on various seven-inch records and splits on various labels, but finally in 1995 settled down to record an album, with Pepper Keenan of Corrosion of Conformity as producer, and new bassist Vince LeBlanc, which would be named Dopesick.[5] At the time, Mike Williams was living in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn in New York City, and so had to travel between there and New Orleans frequently for the recording sessions. The recording sessions were infamously chaotic, and involved the studio owner reportedly calling Century to ask if the band were insane, and threatening to kick them out. This particular incident occurred after Mike Williams had attempted to record the sound of smashing glass for the introduction to the album, by smashing a bottle on the floor of the studio. In the process he slashed his hand open badly and bled all over the studio floor (this recording did make it to the record as the introduction to the first track, "My Name is God (I Hate You)"). One of the band members then apparently smeared the words "Hell" and "Death to Pigs" in Mike's blood. Brian Patton and Joey LaCaze then flew out to San Francisco to mix the album. This album was far more chaotic than their previous, but still retained the distinct southern, bluesy feel, distancing it from In the Name of Suffering. The band then embarked on a US tour in the spring of 1996 to support the album, supporting White Zombie and Pantera, bringing their music to a far wider audience, raising the profile of sludge metal, and becoming (in)famous as one of its founding acts.

Eyehategod then went through a period of internal disputes, and went on unofficial hiatus as its members scattered again to record and tour with their various side-projects; namely Soilent Green, Corrosion of Conformity and Crowbar. Eventually, in 2000, the band reconvened (again with a new bassist, this time Daniel Nick) to compile their various Take as Needed for Pain and Dopesick era singles, seven inches and split records into one record, Southern Discomfort. This reconvention gave them the impetus to knuckle down and record another album, and that album was 2000's Confederacy of Ruined Lives. The album was a much more polished, sober affair, and so sounded distinctly more like a sequel to Take as Needed for Pain than Dopesick. After its release, the band then toured extensively, embarking on a world tour for the first time, with dates in Europe and Japan.

Subsequent activities (2001–2013)

[edit]

By 2001, the members of Eyehategod had continued juggling with various side-projects. During this time, Down recorded their second album, and Bower formed the mostly instrumental band, The Mystick Krewe of Clearlight, as well as Soilent Green releasing their third album. Mike Williams also founded Outlaw Order and Arson Anthem. During all this activity, Eyehategod found time to compile and release their live album 10 Years of Abuse (and Still Broke) (which was mainly released due to a contractual obligation with Century Media), and record and release yet more split records and 7 inches. With the release of their live album, the band were free of their contract with Century, and chose to sign to Emetic Records (with their fifth and current bassist, Gary Mader) for the release of their 2005 stop-gap compilation album, Preaching the "End-Time" Message, much in the vein of Southern Discomfort, but this time with some unreleased studio tracks.

Former drummer Joey LaCaze and vocalist Mike Williams in 2011

Following the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, singer Mike Williams and his ex-girlfriend Alicia Morgan (a member of sludge metal band, 13) were arrested in Morgan City, Louisiana on a narcotics charge. Williams spent 91 days in the Morgan City Jail, and kicked his heroin habit.[6][7]

With the help of his Eyehategod bandmates and supporters such as Phil Anselmo, Williams was released from jail on December 2, 2005. The band played a set at the 2006 Mardi Gras festival, the first since the disaster. Emetic Records released a various artists tribute album to Eyehategod on March 20, 2007, titled For the Sick. On August 29, 2008, the band celebrated their 20-year anniversary with a show at One Eyed Jacks in New Orleans. The band played a few shows in the American South in May 2009, and are on tour the same winter. They also performed at Hellfest in France in June.

Jimmy Bower announced in an interview that Eyehategod are still active and preparing a new album. The band played at the Inferno festival in Oslo, Norway, on April 1, 2010, and also played two sets at the Roadburn festival later that month. Eyehategod performed a new song called "New Orleans Is the New Vietnam" during their set at their July 1, 2011 show in Roskilde Festival, Denmark.

Drummer Joey LaCaze died on August 23, 2013, from respiratory failure.[8] Earsplit PR issued a press release on the life and death of LaCaze. The release states, "Doctors confirmed to family members that the cause of death was respiratory failure. He also suffered from long term asthma."[9] He had recently come back from a European tour and had celebrated his 42nd birthday.

On October 31, 2013, the band announced that Aaron Hill would be taking LaCaze's place as drummer.[10]

Eyehategod, A History of Nomadic Behavior and next album (2014–present)

[edit]

In May 2014, the band released a self-titled full-length album on Phil Anselmo's label Housecore Records. This album is the last featuring Joey LaCaze on drums.[11]

On August 4, 2016, Williams announced Anselmo would be filling in for him at a show in New Orleans and the 7th annual GwarBBQ. Williams cited "serious health issues" that prevented him from being physically able to perform.[12]

On September 22, 2016, Earsplit PR announced that Randy Blythe of Lamb of God would be filling in for Williams for the entire duration of the following month's tour with Discharge and Toxic Holocaust.[13]

On December 16, 2016, Williams underwent liver transplant surgery.[14]

By July 2018, Eyehategod had begun working on their sixth studio album, which was initially planned to be released in 2019.[15] The band announced on their Facebook page on October 14, 2020, that the album was finished.[16] Two months later, A History of Nomadic Behavior was revealed as the title of the new album, which was released on March 12, 2021.[17]

In July 2024, Williams confirmed that Eyehategod has begun working on new material for their seventh studio album.[18]

Outlaw Order

[edit]

While Jimmy Bower was busy playing drums for Down, the other four members of Eyehategod formed a side-project called Outlaw Order (abbreviated to OO%). The band released a limited edition 7" EP in 2003 called Legalize Crime, which has since been re-released on CD with a bonus live track and is available through Eyehategod's webstore. The criminal theme is apparently because at the time of the band's formation all five of the members were on probation, and have consistently been in trouble with the law. Mark Shultz is currently serving a prison sentence and so has been replaced by Justin Grisoli.[19]

The band released their debut album, Dragging Down the Enforcer, on November 10, 2008.

[edit]

Musical style and influences

[edit]

Eyehategod are a sludge metal band, incorporating heavy, detuned guitar riffs, walls of feedback, and "tortured" vocals. James Christopher Monger of AllMusic described the band's sound as "an ugly and uncompromising blend of doomy, blues-y punk, and misanthropic metal," as well as a "combin[ation of] hardcore brutality, narcotized slowness, and Southern rock."[20] The band's music also makes frequent use of atonality. Alex Deller of Metal Hammer described it as "the sound of hardscrabble survival set to music."[21] The band's sound is further characterized by "Sabbath-blasted hardcore riffs."[22] In response to an apparent notion conceived by Rob Zombie that "all the good riffs have already been played by Black Sabbath", Mike IX Williams responded: "He’s probably right. But you can always switch all that stuff around. It depends on the atmosphere, who’s playing it, the guitar sound…there’s a lot of [factors] like that."[23]

In addition to Black Sabbath, Eyehategod have noted Melvins, Carnivore, The Obsessed, Discharge, Black Flag, Corrosion of Conformity, Celtic Frost, Confessor, and Saint Vitus[24] as key influences to their sound.

Lyrical themes

[edit]

The band's lyrical themes are primarily focused on substance abuse. According to guitarist Jimmy Bower, "Alot [sic] of people in the New Orleans metal scene did heroin and other narcotics. I did all that. I'm not proud of it. There's nothing to glorify about it. I lost my girlfriend to that shit. And I buried a lot of friends." In the 2020 book Raising Hell, vocalist Mike IX Williams was quoted saying: "It's pretty well known that we've all had our little drug problems. I've missed shows. I was totally addicted, and I was dope sick because I couldn't get any drugs for whatever reason. That's all in the past, but man, there are so many different stories, and there are so many times the band was just a huge felony rolling down the highway. We were always in danger of getting pulled over with the stuff we had on us. Guys were shooting up and doing coke. There was paraphernalia and drugs and methodone and Xanax and pretty much anything you can imagine going through the van. We knew that it was terrible, but we felt like it was a necessity. That's how we wanted to do it. It was a stupid ideal that some young bands have. I look back and cringe at all the things we did that were illegal or dangerous, and I thank somebody – knock on wood – that nothing ever happened."[25]

Despite the band's name, Williams has attempted to distance the band from the Satanic and occult themes and ideologies common within heavy metal and its more extreme offshoots. In the 2020 book Raising Hell, he was quoted saying: "Some people just think we're gonna be all Satanic and evil and loud. Really, we're just loud. I've met a fair number of people in the underground who are into worshipping the devil. That's silly to me. It's just as silly as somebody worshipping God. It's pointless."[25]

Legacy

[edit]

Eyehategod are now considered pioneers of what is considered sludge metal. According to Alex Deller of Metal Hammer: "Eyehategod were one of the earliest bands to peddle the [sludge] style, setting the bar for all who followed with mangled blues riffs, atonal thumps and the relentless mosquito whine of feedback, all capped by vocalist Mike IX Williams' signature slur n' howl. [...] a difficult and uncomfortable listen, but one that is undeniably rewarding."[22]

History

Formation and early releases (1988–1995)

Eyehategod was formed in 1988 in New Orleans, Louisiana, by guitarist Jimmy Bower and drummer Joey LaCaze, with initial vocalist Chris Hilliard and bassist Steve Dale, drawing from the city's burgeoning and heavy metal underground scene. The group initially went by the name Snuffleupagus on Acid and quickly established a presence through raw, experimental recordings that blended with emerging elements. Guitarist Brian Patton joined in 1989, contributing to the band's dual-guitar setup during its formative period; vocalist also joined that year. The band's earliest output consisted of cassette-only demos that captured their unpolished, aggressive sound. In 1989, they self-released Garden Dwarf Woman Driver, a noisy collection featuring tracks like "Smoking Weed" and "My Name Is God (I Hate You)," which highlighted chaotic riffs and screamed vocals amid the local DIY tape-trading circuit. This was followed by Lack of Almost Everything later that year, recorded live at Birdhouse Studios and limited to a small run of cassettes, emphasizing downtuned grooves and raw production that foreshadowed their signature style. These demos circulated primarily within New Orleans' underground, helping to build an initial following among fans of hardcore and early doom acts. Mark Schultz—previously contributing as second guitarist—took over on bass starting with the band's 1993 album, following Steve Dale's departure. That year, Eyehategod released their debut full-length album, (1990), on the independent label Intellectual Convulsion, showcasing slow, oppressive riffs and themes of rooted in the New Orleans sludge aesthetic. The band signed with shortly thereafter, leading to a of the album and their proper major-label debut, , in 1993. This record refined their sound with even heavier, downtuned guitars, Williams' guttural screams, and a narcotic haze influenced by , establishing them as pioneers in the sludge genre. In 1995, Eyehategod released a split 7" with 13 featuring the track "Southern Discomfort." Eyehategod honed their chaotic energy through frequent live performances in New Orleans' dive bars and warehouses, where their sloppy, drug-fueled shows—often marked by on-stage antics and audience confrontations—fostered a dedicated within the local scene. These early efforts positioned the band as a cornerstone of the New Orleans movement, blending hardcore aggression with doom's weightiness.

Breakthrough albums (1995–2000)

Eyehategod's third studio album, Dopesick, marked a pivotal moment in the band's career, released on April 9, 1996, by and produced by Billy Anderson at Side One Studios in , with mixing at Hyde Street Studios. The record captured the band's raw aggression through its dense, swampy sound, heavily influenced by the members' struggles with addiction during the recording process, infusing tracks like "Dogs Holy Life" and "Blank" with themes of affliction, unease, and societal decay. This feedback-laden production, blending bluesy riffs with hardcore intensity, elevated Eyehategod's profile as pioneers, often described as a watershed moment that deepened the genre's fusion of doom and punk elements. Following the release, Eyehategod embarked on extensive tours across the and , sharing stages with influential acts like , which helped solidify their status within the burgeoning sludge and stoner metal scenes. These performances, including a notable 1997 U.S. tour co-headlined with , showcased the band's unrelenting live energy and expanded their amid the era's underground metal circuits. The band's fourth album, , arrived on September 19, 2000, also via Century Media, after a four-year hiatus plagued by label disputes and personal battles with that delayed production but did not fracture the lineup. Engineered to emphasize slower, more brooding tempos, the album delved into with tracks such as "Revelation/Revolution" and "Blood Money," exploring motifs of and while maintaining the misanthropic core of their sound. In 2000, the band also released the compilation Southern Discomfort (Demos & Rarities) on Century Media, featuring covers of tracks like Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" and The Accüsed's "Pigs," along with outtakes and rarities. This further cemented Eyehategod's international recognition, positioning them as enduring architects of the genre despite ongoing internal challenges.

Challenges, side projects, and reformation (2001–2013)

Following the release of their 2000 album Confederacy of Ruined Lives, Eyehategod entered an extended hiatus marked by severe personal hardships among its members. Vocalist Mike Williams battled chronic addiction, which contributed to the band's inactivity, while drummer Joey LaCaze dealt with ongoing respiratory health issues stemming from long-term and related complications. The period was further disrupted by legal troubles, including Williams' arrest and incarceration in October 2005 on narcotics charges in , where he was held for several weeks before being released with support from bandmates and the local metal community. No new original music was produced during this time, though the band contributed a cover of The Tragically Hip's "" to a 2005 charity compilation benefiting relief efforts. During the hiatus, Williams, LaCaze, guitarist Brian Patton, bassist Gary Mader, and bassist Justin Grisoli formed the side project Outlaw Order in 2003, excluding guitarist Jimmy Bower, who was committed to his role in Down. The group released a limited-edition 7-inch EP titled Legalize Crime that year on Vermiform Records, followed by their debut full-length Dragging Down the Enforcer in 2008 via Southern Lord Recordings. This endeavor allowed the core members to channel their creative energies amid Eyehategod's dormancy, focusing on raw, aggressive recordings without Bower's involvement. The band's challenges intensified with Hurricane Katrina's landfall in August 2005, which devastated New Orleans and directly impacted its members. Williams was initially reported missing after the storm, with his home in the Gentilly neighborhood burned to the ground, and much of the band's equipment and possessions destroyed or scattered. Other members, including LaCaze and Patton, faced displacement, temporarily relocating to and other cities while grappling with the loss of instruments, recordings, and the city's infrastructure. The emotional toll was profound, exacerbating existing struggles with and , though it later influenced themes of ruin and resilience in their work. Eyehategod resumed sporadic live performances in late 2005 and into 2006, beginning with intimate shows at Juan's Flying Burrito in New Orleans and the Festival, marking their first activity since Katrina. These appearances remained infrequent through the late 2000s and early 2010s, often limited by members' health and logistics, but included a notable live recording session in 2011 for KFJC's Live from the Devil's Triangle radio series. The band achieved a full in 2012, bolstered by ' reissues of their catalog—including remastered editions of early albums like —which provided financial and promotional stability to support renewed touring and recording. Tragedy struck again in August 2013 when LaCaze died at age 42 from at his home in New Orleans, shortly after the band's intensifying activity. An confirmed the cause as complications from his chronic , compounded by years of substance use and physical strain from performing. His death prompted immediate lineup adjustments, with the band enlisting temporary drummers like of the for upcoming dates while mourning the loss of a founding member.

Recent albums and activities (2014–present)

In 2014, Eyehategod released their self-titled fifth studio album through Housecore Records in and Century Media internationally, marking the band's first original full-length material in 14 years since (2000). Produced by Billy Anderson, who previously helmed their 1996 album Dopesick, the record features tracks such as "Agitation! Propaganda!", which opens with a raw, crust-punk-infused assault reflecting the band's enduring themes of societal decay and personal struggle. The album's production emphasized the group's signature sound, with sessions capturing a renewed intensity following years of lineup changes and personal hardships. Following the release, Eyehategod experienced a touring resurgence, including extensive U.S. dates and a European run in support of the self-titled effort, solidifying their live presence after a period of instability. In , the band issued A History of Nomadic Behavior via Century Media, their sixth studio album and first in seven years, recorded amid the challenges of the , which influenced the project's completion through multiple sessions. Featuring songs like "Fake Name," the album explores motifs of transient existence, addiction, and resilience, drawing from the band's nomadic touring lifestyle and broader existential themes. Guitarist Brian Patton departed in 2018 to focus on family life, solidifying the four-piece lineup. The band's lineup stabilized with drummer Aaron Hill, who joined in late 2013 following the of original member Joey LaCaze, providing a consistent alongside vocalist Mike Williams, Jimmy Bower, and Gary Mader. In , Williams confirmed in interviews that Eyehategod was actively developing new material, with the group having written several songs and entering the studio to progress toward their next release. This creative momentum underscores the band's ongoing evolution within the genre. In 2025, Eyehategod maintained their touring activity with a spring U.S. run from April to May, co-headlining select dates with and supported by acts including The Dwarves, alongside international appearances such as at Poland's Mystic Festival. Personal milestones, including Williams' successful liver transplant in December 2016 and subsequent recovery, have contributed to the narrative of the band's enduring resilience amid health challenges and industry obstacles.

Artistry

Musical style and influences

Eyehategod's music is a cornerstone of , defined by downtuned guitars producing slow, crushing riffs drenched in feedback and noise, paired with punk-infused aggression that creates an oppressive, visceral intensity. The band's sonic palette blends doom metal's heavy, Sabbath-inspired grooves with hardcore punk's raw energy and noise rock's chaotic dissonance, often featuring syrupy basslines, battering percussion, and torturously downtrodden vocals that evoke a sense of unrelenting misery. Vocalist has described their style as "hardcore blues" or a "modern-day ," emphasizing the cathartic, bluesy undercurrents amid the sludge's haze. The band's sound evolved from the raw, chaotic aggression of their early years (1988–1995), marked by lo-fi production and unrelenting fury, to a more groove-oriented and atmospheric approach in the post-2000 era. Producer Billy Anderson, who helmed albums like Dopesick (1996) and the self-titled release (2014), contributed to this shift by enhancing spatial depth and cavernous reverb, lending a swampy, immersive quality to the without altering the core heaviness. This refinement maintained the band's abrasive edge while allowing for greater textural layers, as noted in production discussions where early efforts were deemed too polished for their chaotic . Key influences include and for their doom-laden riffs and brooding heaviness, for pioneering the noise-sludge hybrid, and punk acts like Black Flag and Corrosion of Conformity's Animosity era for aggressive, crossover energy. Industrial and noise elements from SPK and also shaped their experimental side, infusing oppressive soundscapes into the mix. The New Orleans hardcore scene, including contemporaries like , further informed their punk-metal fusion. In live performances, Eyehategod embrace improvisational chaos, extending jams with feedback-laden noise and fostering intense audience interaction through stage dives and communal disorder, setting them apart from their more precise studio recordings. This unscripted energy reflects their punk roots and distinguishes their shows as raw spectacles of aggravation. Their experimental edge extends to side projects like Outlaw Order, where members explore faster hardcore leanings while retaining sludge's gritty aggression. As of 2024, the band has been developing new material, continuing to draw from their raw, experiential approach to sound.

Lyrical themes

Eyehategod's lyrics, primarily penned by vocalist , revolve around central themes of , poverty, and personal ruin, often drawn directly from the band members' lived experiences in New Orleans' . The 1996 album Dopesick exemplifies this focus, with tracks exploring dependency and self-destruction, as Williams has described the material as reflecting the era's pervasive struggles with and despair. These motifs underscore a raw portrayal of existential anguish, emphasizing the cyclical nature of and socioeconomic hardship without resorting to redemption narratives. Incorporating elements, the band's songwriting delves into decay, religious hypocrisy, and the gritty underbelly of New Orleans life, critiquing the American South's cultural stagnation. On the 2000 album , lyrics confront societal breakdown and moral corruption, evoking the region's haunted landscapes and institutional failures through imagery of ruin and isolation. Williams' delivery—often screamed or spoken in a guttural style—amplifies this visceral quality, tying into the band's sound while prioritizing emotional immediacy over narrative clarity. Williams employs an abstract, stream-of-consciousness approach to , influenced by beat poetry figures like and , as well as the raw aesthetic of punk zines, resulting in fragmented, evocative phrases that invite personal interpretation rather than explicit messaging. The band deliberately avoids overt political commentary, favoring unfiltered emotional expression to convey and inner turmoil. Following in 2005, the band's experiences with devastation influenced their ongoing exploration of hardship and recovery. This evolution maintains thematic consistency across the band's discography.

Personnel

Current members

The current lineup of Eyehategod, as of November 2025, features vocalist , guitarist Jimmy Bower, bassist Gary Mader, and drummer Aaron Hill. This quartet has been active together since 2018, driving the band's ongoing tours and songwriting efforts, including material for a follow-up to their 2021 album A History of Nomadic Behavior.

Known for his raw, shouted delivery that embodies the chaotic essence of , Williams has also shared his personal story of recovery from severe health challenges, including a 2017 liver transplant following years of and illness, which he credits with renewing his commitment to the band. Jimmy Bower has been the lead guitarist since rejoining full-time in 1994, though he co-founded the band in 1988 and briefly departed in the early 1990s. A key contributor to the band's riff-heavy sound, Bower is renowned for his improvisational style in songwriting and has simultaneously maintained roles in other prominent acts, including guitar duties with and drum work with Down. Gary Mader joined Eyehategod on bass in late , providing a steady, groove-oriented foundation that has supported the band's live performances and recordings ever since. Drawing from his experience in New Orleans' local punk and metal scenes, including stints with bands like The Headwoundz, Mader has also contributed to visual elements, such as artwork for the 2021 album. Aaron Hill has handled since 2014, stepping in after the death of founding member Joey LaCaze and delivering the relentless, pulse-driven rhythms essential to the band's aesthetic. A New Orleans native with prior involvement in local acts like Missing Monuments, Hill has integrated into the songwriting process through jamming sessions and has anchored numerous tours, including the band's Spring 2025 U.S. dates.

Former members

Joey LaCaze was a co-founding member of Eyehategod and served as the band's from 1989 until his death in 2013. He played a pivotal role in shaping the band's signature chaotic rhythms, particularly on the early albums (1992), (1993), and Dopesick (1996), contributing to the raw, sludge-heavy sound that defined the group's formative years. LaCaze also participated in side projects like Outlaw Order and Mystick Krewe of Clearlight, but his primary commitment remained with Eyehategod until claimed his life on August 23, 2013, at age 42.
