WHAT THE DUDES FROM EYEHATEGOD ARE UP TO
Monday, October 27th, 2008 at 9:30am by Vince Neilstein
Some time back we got an angry email from a MetalSucks Maniac accusing us of giving nary a mention to Louisiana legends Eyehategod. And it’s true; there just hasn’t been very much to say about the band in the past couple of years. But this weekend a press release arrived at our doorstep via stork announcing the formation of Outlaw Order, a band whose makeup consists of all Eyehategod or ex-Eyehategod members:
Michael D. Williams (Eyehategod, Arson Anthem) – vocals
Brian Patton (Eyehategod, Soilent Green) – guitar
Gary Mader (Eyehategod, Hawgjaw) – guitar
Joey LaCaze (Eyehategod) – drums
Justin Grisoli (ex-Eyehategod) – bass
The band sounds precisely like what you’d expect; sludgy, swampy, raw aggression fueled by metal, punk rock, beer, and hurricanes. Check out four tracks on Outlaw Order’s MySpace page. The group plans to release their debut Dragging Down the Enforcer before the end of the year on Season of Mist Records with a tour to follow.

HOORAY! Totally excited for this album.
Without having followed this link, I’d prefer that the dudes from Eyehategod would be up to more Eyehategod stuff…..
Sounds good. They had a 7″ on Southern Lord a while back. It was pretty good
I do like their little catch phrase “Legalize Crime” a whole lot.
Best album Mike Williams has been on since Dopesick. I love it.
Would like some Bower Power in the mix, but this is good shit.
Outlaw Order has something new coming out? That’s fucking tits. It’s funny you bring this up, because every time the grass starts turning colors I haul out Dopesick, Southern Discomfort, and the Ezra Brooks stash and remind myself what a kick in the dick life is. An awesome, dark, minor-chord-progression-fueled kick in the dick.
