Eyehategod Frontman Speaks On New Music And More
Eyehategod are a band which sums up the phrase "a law unto themselves" if ever there was one. Throughout their thirty year history, the group has fought through addiction, financial difficulties and even the death of drummer Joey LaCaze in August 2013. At their recent show in Bristol (see review here,) I sat down with frontman Mike IX to discuss how one survives such a turbulent career, when we can expect new music and recent tours with Black Label Society. Check it out below.
On new material:
"We've demoed some new songs and we're probably going to record in September. We need to write some more songs. So far we've demoed seven or eight songs but without vocals, just the music and we'll see what we like, what we'll change and what we'll throw away." More...

Discharge Discusses Legacy And Broken Bones Split
A few months back, I had the pleasure of seeing punk icons Discharge in London (see review here.) Not only did I get to see the rejuvinated legends put on an explosive show in the capital, but I was fortunate enough to sit down and speak with guitarist Anthony "Bones" Roberts, drummer Dave Caution and new frontman Jeff "JJ" Janiak. On the second anniversary of their latest album, "End Of Days," we talked about the album and how it fits in with their catalogue, the single "Broken Law" and its controversial video and whether protesting really works. You can check it out below.
On the "Broken Law" video :
"The truth often is controversial. It's that harsh reality that people don't want to face. You might upset some people along the way but you can't deny facts. Funnily enough, I know a cop who loved it. He played it for his cop friends in the gym and they weren't too impressed by it." More...
