Summary

Arguably the godfathers of sludge metal, New Orleans' Eyehategod broke the mould with their seminal classic records Take As Needed for Pain (1993) and Dopesick (1996). In this intimate discussion with frontman Mike IX Williams, we dive into addiction, chaos, creativity, controversy, and the brutal realities behind two of the most influential records of the '90s underground. From broken glass recording sessions to finding survival through music, this is Eyehategod unclean and uncut.
