Eyehategod - Southern Discomfort
Y’know, it’s a good thing that life sucks. Because if it didn’t, bands like Eyehategod wouldn’t exist. This was intended to be a collective send-off to the band everyone thought was broken up for good. Luckily they have gotten back together. A lot of people talk shit about Eyehategod and I just can’t explain why. What’s really funny is when someone claims to like Grief, yet says Eyehategod “sucks.” It is the same vein of misery that this band’s crawling brand Sludgecore is created. And both bands can also turn Sabbath-like groove into a numbing tool of discordance. If you’ve never heard this band before, this may be the ideal introductory phase. I’m partial to Dopesick and Take As Needed for Pain, and most of these tracks are from, or around the time of, those recordings. These are all studio out-takes and tracks taken from 7-inches, so for the most part, this is nothing a big Eyehategod fan doesn’t already have. I know I’m not one to pay $16 for different versions of songs I already have, but there are some tracks here from a split 7-inch with 13 that I’d never heard. “Serving Time in the Middle of Nowhere” is one of them and it’s traditional Eyehategod: Catchy, dirty, and screamed in anguish. Perhaps the least essential piece of this band’s works, but it’s good shit nonetheless. If you don’t like these guys, life must be an endless good time for you.
