WHAT THE DUDES FROM EYEHATEGOD ARE UP TO

Some time back we got an angry email from a MetalSucks Maniac accusing us of giving nary a mention to Louisiana legends Eyehategod. And it’s true; there just hasn’t been very much to say about the band in the past couple of years. But this weekend a press release arrived at our doorstep via stork announcing the formation of Outlaw Order, a band whose makeup consists of all Eyehategod or ex-Eyehategod members:

Michael D. Williams (Eyehategod, Arson Anthem) – vocals
Brian Patton (Eyehategod, Soilent Green) – guitar
Gary Mader (Eyehategod, Hawgjaw) – guitar
Joey LaCaze (Eyehategod) – drums
Justin Grisoli (ex-Eyehategod) – bass

The band sounds precisely like what you’d expect; sludgy, swampy, raw aggression fueled by metal, punk rock, beer, and hurricanes. Check out four tracks on Outlaw Order’s MySpace page. The group plans to release their debut Dragging Down the Enforcer before the end of the year on Season of Mist Records with a tour to follow.
