Eyehategod played on a boat w/ Goatwhore, Strong Intention & Pig Destroyer (pics), playing Europa tonight
words by BBG, photos by Chloe Rice
Sammy Duet of Goatwhore (also ex-Acid Bath)
Village Voice: It's been noted that CMJ is noticeably more "metal" this year, and there's a sense that metal's becoming more and more respected all-around.In what was definitely one of the most highly anticipated NYC metal shows of the year, and one of only a handful of metal shows during CMJ (Type O Negative at Irving Plaza, the official BrooklynVegan-BBG Relapse Records Showcase, among others), Eyehategod returned to NYC with an appearance on a Rocks Off Boat Cruise with Goatwhore, Pig Destroyer, and Strong Intention. To say people went a little apey is a bit of an understatement (see below pictures of moshpits, people hanging from balconies, and general insanity for further proof).Mike Williams of Eyehategod: Well, I wouldn't call Eyehategod "metal", but I do see extreme, heavy music in general getting new attention from some different areas of the population. Also we've played in NYC for CMJ before, back in the '90s, so it doesn't really seem like a new thing. Anyway, is it "respected" or is it "trendy"? "Trendy" meaning hipsters now have discovered us. Who knows? I welcome all people who are remotely interested to check us out.
The caged animal is unleashed again TONIGHT (10/26), when Eyehategod play their SECOND area show, this time at Europa with Unearthly Trance, Tombs, Strong Intention, and BV-BBG/Relapse showcaser Howl. Tickets are still available.
Pics of Howl, along with Misery Index, Salome, Revocation, Black Anvil, Complete Failure, and Gloominous Doom from the BV-BBG/Relapse Showcase at Fontana's are on their way. More pics from the boat cruise (from hell?) are below...
Strong Intention
Pig Destroyer

im starting a metal band. should i call it "cow raper"? our fans can wear cow masks and rape each other. how about "horse corpse" (bonus points because it rhymes)? hmm, maybe i can make the animal come at the end, like "the molested chicken". ill have to think about it some more.

Not a Pig Destroyer joke intentionally.
But, I guarantee you someone on that boat has Swine Flu today.

Hands down, best show of CMJ. Relapse / Brooklyn Vegan showcase and Budos Band are the close runner ups. Keep up the great work fuckos!

I am sick and tired of these motherfucking metalheads on this motherfucking boat.
Jokes from 2006 never hurt.

All great bands with names that truly had a sense of humor usually. The Cows live were always incredible.

low ceiling on that boat. Downstairs anyway... couldn't really see the bands, they sounded great though.

I miss Acid Bath...
luckily Dax is here in Austin now.
I know he went a different route, but I love his take on "death folk"?
