Upcoming EYEHATEGOD shows:

- 05/24/2012 Maryland Deathfest @ Sonar: Baltimore, MD

Eyehategod unleashed their Live DVD last year via MVD. The 88-minute production features multi-camera footage from 2009 (Baltimore, MD) and 2010 (Cleveland, OH), with bonus clips from the last show of their 2010 European tour and videos never before released before on DVD. Commented popular Canadian web portal Hellbound in a recent review of the film: "Trust Eyehategod to put out a live DVD that looks like a fifth-generation VHS bootleg from 25 years ago. And bless ‘em for it. After all, the pure grit and amateurishness of the way the two live sets on Live are shot are far more appropriate for the New Orleans sludge legends than, say, a lavish light show, crane shots galore, and a five-channel surround mix. Nah, instead we’re privy to poorly lit, hand-held shots from various angles, most of which are right smack in the middle of the chaos the band is creating, and sound quality that’s muddy and distorted. It looks and sounds absolutely filthy, and it’s perfect." Added Cvlt Nation simply: "...a piece of Eyehategod cinematic history." A perfect dose of Black Flag meets Black Sabbath in ragged, live glory. Order your copy HERE where you'll also find a new selections of T-shirts and hoodies.
