Album review: Eyehategod – A History Of Nomadic Behavior One new liver later, NOLA sludge kings Eyehategod return as dirty as ever on sixth album, A History Of Nomadic Behavior… Words: Angela Davey Eyehategod have a colourful history. Considered to be one of the four pillars of NOLA sludge metal, they’ve paved the way for many who’ve attempted to imitate them but never quite reached their level of finesse (or lack of). Their relentless touring schedule and long history of drug abuse are as much a part of the foundations of the band as their punk-tinged vitriol and spite-filled lyrics. Despite existing for three decades they have released just six albums – A History Of Nomadic Behavior is their first since 2014’s self-titled opus, and an impressive feat considering vocalist Mike Williams is fresh off the back of a liver transplant.
