Eyehategod Was Jailed On Narcotics Charge

EYEHATEGOD guitarist Jimmy Bower (also of SUPERJOINT RITUAL and DOWN) has revealed to The Gauntlet that the recent arrest of the group's frontman, Michael Williams, was drug-related. "He is basically incarcerated on a narcotics charge, and he was on probation when he got busted," Bower said in a brand-new interview conducted on Friday (Oct. 14). "It just really sucks because he's in a small town, he's got a high bail, he was on probation and it looks like it's going to be fifteen to twenty thousand dollars to get this resolved."

EYEHATEGOD will be releasing a two-disc live set in the coming weeks to help raise funds for Williams' release. "One [disc] will be our set from Tokyo (three songs from this are featured on 'Preaching...'), and the other from our last tour," the band had previously stated in a posting on their web site. "Both recordings sound great. We will release this on the band's 'label,' Press Pause Media/Cassettes, so that ALL of the money, excluding pressing costs, will go toward Mike's defense."

Those that wish to make a donation by mail in order to assist in releasing Williams may send checks or money orders to AmSouth Bank:

Point taken but don't ask people to donate money to get you out of jail because you can't control your habit. That's really pathetic, they suck anyway.
