Longtime Eyehategod drummer Joey LaCaze reportedly passed away over the weekend. LaCaze has played with EYEHATEGOD since the band's inception way back in 1988. No word yet on a cause of death.

In their 23 years Eyehategod created a legacy that’s influenced a whole generation of aspiring doom warriors, whilst creating an undisputed cult like following that has placed them in the high leagues of such legendary sludge and doom artists like Neurosis, St Vitus, The Obsessed, The Melvins, and Kyuss.

With 4 studio albums to their name, their last being “Confederacy of broken Lives” (released in 2000), Eyehategod went on hiatus in the early 2000’s around the time that Jimmy Bower’s commitments to DOWN took precedent, after which time all the remaining members of Eyehaegod, minus Jimmy, formed Outlaw Order, a like minded side project of sorts that captured a similar level of intensity and sonic annihilation.

In 2012 Eyehategod released their first new recordings in almost 12 years, the first release being a single aptly titled “New Orleans is the new Vietnam”.

In November of last year Eyehategod toured Australia with I Exist.
