Congratulations are in order to Jimmy and Dana Bower as they welcome their NEW born baby: Maddie Rae Bower! Jimmy, an active member of EYEHATEGOD and DOWN, got married to Dana last March. And guess who married them? Noneother than EYEHATEGOD's Mike Williams! Here is a picture of the baby:
Here is a recent interview we conducted with Jimmy:
Every time we get to chat with Mike IX Williams from EYEHATEGOD, he comes across as a very genuine, outrageous and artistic individual. He definitely does not follow a text book when it comes to his creative projects, and he never jumps into any project in which he can't bring in his unique vision. His latest project, which he says it is not a project, is called CORRECTIONS HOUSE. The idea behind CORRECTIONS HOUSE is to create a sonic experience that is completely unpredictable. The bands music, which is impossible to categorize, mixes spoken word, guitar sounds, and plenty of sound escapes.
The group is currently trekking through the United States of Metal, so make sure you check them out. On Monday, January 21, we were able to catch their first full concert ever at Saint Vitus Bar in Brooklyn, New York. Right after they were done delivering a very unique sonic experience to all those who attended, we had the chance to chat with Mike IX Williams about CORRECTIONS HOUSE, the NEW EYEHATEGOD record, and he even told us about this poetry book entitled "Cancer as a Social Activity" which he wrote mostly while in jail.Watch this exclusive interview, and support underground Metal!

Following a successful takeover of Australia, Louisiana’s favorite Hardcore, blues-based, post-amplificated dirgesmiths, EYEHATEGOD, brought their sonic debauchery to Brooklyn, New York for two very special concerts. The shows furious show took place on Monday, November 27 and Tuesday, November 28 at Saint Vitus Bar in Brooklyn.
Right after EYEHATEGOD stepped off the stage, we chatted with the bands guitarist Jimmy Bower, who is also the drummer of DOWN. During the conversation we discussed the present and future of EYEHATEGOD, and about the NEW DOWN EP 'Down IV: Part 1 (The Purple EP)'! We also chatted about the differences between touring with two bands that are of complete different calibers. Bower also discussed the NOLA music scene, and how bands like haarp and WARBEAST are worth for everyone to listen to.
Without further due, here is our exclusive interview with Jimmy Bower! We also added an extra bonus interview with haarp's drummer Keith Sierra Jr, right after the bands New York City show with DOWN! Sit back, grab a cold one, and enjoy!

EYEHATEGOD was founded in 1988 by Jimmy Bower and Joey Delatte, who were joined by Joe Fazzio and Kevin Bond from Crawlspace NoLa & Superjoint Ritual. Ever since their inception their have been various lineup changes, but regardless of whose in the band they have always been a driving force within the Heavy Music scene in NOLA. Their sludge Metal became a trademark within Heavy Music worldwide and their unique sound is incomparable. Eyehategod's music is the result of a group of friends getting together in a jam room and writing some simple, heavy and balls out music!
Louisiana’s favorite purveyors of Hardcore, blues-based, unrepentant, post-amplificated dirge, will head to Europe this week to further spread their audio message of discontent. The caravan of decadence and debauchery begins July 20 at Serengeti Festival 2012 in Stukenbrock, Germany and will pillage its way through 19 cities, leaving in its wake nothing but broken glass and hurt feelings.
We recently had the chance to chat with Mike IX Williams about the bands upcoming tour, their NEW album situation (including album title rumors), and why they got banned from Scion Rock Fest. Additionally, we talked to Williams about the arrest of LAMB OF GOD's Randy Blythe (who is a good friend of Williams). Listen up and spread the doom!

Today, the Supreme Court in a landmark ruling, upheld President Obama's health care overhaul, including the controversial requirement that most Americans have health insurance.
The court handed Obama a campaign-season victory in rejecting arguments that Congress went too far in requiring Americans to have health insurance or pay a penalty.
Chief Justice John Roberts announced the court's judgment that allows the law to go forward with its aim of covering more than 30 million uninsured Americans. Click here to read more about this breaking story!
Here is what Kirk Windstein (Crowbar, Down & Kingdom Of Sorrow) had to say about this:
"IF I CAN'T AFFORD HEALTH INSURANCE NOW, BECAUSE UNLIKE HALF OF THE COUNTRY, I ACTUALLY PAY TAXES, HOW IN THE HELL WILL I BE ABLE TO AFFORD IT THEN? WHERE'S MY GOVERNMENT HANDOUT? THIS COUNTRY IS FUCKED!!!"
As previously reported, NOLA's supergroup DOWN is scheduled to
release four EP's dubbed as 'Down IV' throughout the next four years.
During a recent interview the bands riff meister Kirk Windstein
announced that the first EP, which contains six songs, should be out
this summer!
“They’re kind of a throwback to what we
were doing at the very beginning, on the NOLA record (Down’s 1995
platinum debut). I think the fans are going to love it. Windstein names
"Misfortune Teller" as one of his favorite tunes from the upcoming EP.
Down's NEW EP will feature the following songs in no particular order:
- 'Levitation'
- 'Witchtripper'
- 'The Misfortune Teller'
- 'The Curse Is A Lie'
- 'Open Coffins'
- 'This Work Is Timeless'

Commented frontman Mike Williams of the latest rampage: “In this wonderful End-Time era of 2012, New Orleans’ only 'Brotherhood of the Pharmaceutical Probation System,' EYEHATEGOD, are once again hitting the rusted railroad tracks and unpaved interstates, hitchhiking their lonesome souls all the way across the seven seas to do even more psychological damage to the music industry, and put full blown reality and life's terrible immorality in all your faces...where it belongs.”

Recently, Artisan News conducted an interview with DOWN's Philip Anselmo (vocals) and Patrick Bruders (bassist) at this year's Rock On The Range festival, which took place on the weekend of May 18-20 at the Columbus Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio.
As previously reported, NOLA's supergroup DOWN is scheduled to release four EP's dubbed as 'Down IV' throughout the next four years. During a recent interview the bands riff meister Kirk Windstein announced that the first EP, which contains six songs, should be out this summer! This is what Anselmo had to say about this:
"That's the idea right now, but I think that after you work on a body of music, you need to reload, you need to refresh, you need to clear your head. Get that, digest it, get it out of your system, and then decide what direction you're going to go. It's a good idea and I think we should see it through. But there's no way we can rush it. Because I think if it is a series of four, each one should be unique, and that… We've shown flexibility — we have songs like 'Bury Me In Smoke' and then we have songs like 'Stone The Crow'… acoustic pieces and what-not… We have all that. So we've touched on many, I guess, dynamics, so… I would expect each EP to have its own life."
Down's NEW EP will feature the following songs in no particular order:
- 'Levitation'
- 'Witchtripper'
- 'The Misfortune Teller'
- 'The Curse Is A Lie'
- 'Open Coffins'
- 'This Work Is Timeless'
DOWN US Tour With HAARP & RED FANG:

Philip Anselmo is a non stop music machine. When he is not busy with his supergroup DOWN, he is taking care of business at Housecore Records (Anselmo's label). Somehow, he also has time to create NEW music via his various side projects. Recently, Loudwire.com chatted with PANTERA's frontman to talk about the 20th anniversary reissue of 'Vulgar Display Of Power' (available now), as well as the new series of EP's by DOWN. He also broke the news about his NEW solo project. Here are some excerpts of the interview.
“We just finished an EP, yes,” Anselmo told Loudwire.” That is done. It’s mastered, done, finished. I’m waiting on Pepper [Keenan's] artwork so I can take a good look at that. We’ll be doing a short [tour] run … this month. 10 days out in tertiary markets, to get our sea legs under us, so we can be ready for touring this fall. Expect that record no later mid-summer or early, early, early fall at the f—ing latest.”
He acknowledged that reports on a series of DOWN EPs “is a bunch of talk and f—ing ideas. They are good ideas, nonetheless. DOWN, the way I describe it, it is a genre band. When you are in a genre band, there are rules. There are borders you cannot cross. You have to be true to the genre itself. It is a subgenre within a subgenre within a subgenre. Southern Black Sabbath slash doom slash a million different things but it’s really one thing. As for the EPs, the other material, we’ve spoken about, this, that, the other, but as far as sitting down and doing it, we only have one in the can.”
About his solo album: “My solo record is recorded and has one more mix to go,” he said. The project will be called, simply, Philip H. Anselmo, and the album title is ‘Walk Through Exits Only'. It is the most deadly motherf—ing thing I have done. I cannot wait for people to hear it. If you like what I do or what I have done, this might be on of your up and coming favorites. I found a guitar player that is just out of his mind. I’ve actually known him for a long time, as long as Dime. Dime gave his respect to him, as well, and he is a great, sweet guy.”
Down's NEW EP will feature the following songs in no particular order:
- 'Levitation'
- 'Witchtripper'
- 'The Misfortune Teller'
- 'The Curse Is A Lie'
- 'Open Coffins'
- 'This Work Is Timeless'

We want to congratulate them and wish them a life full of joy!
Eyehategod unleashed their Live DVD last year via MVD. The 88-minute production features multi-camera footage from 2009 (Baltimore, MD) and 2010 (Cleveland, OH), with bonus clips from the last show of their 2010 European tour and videos never before released before on DVD. Commented popular Canadian web portal Hellbound in a recent review of the film: "Trust Eyehategod to put out a live DVD that looks like a fifth-generation VHS bootleg from 25 years ago. And bless ‘em for it. After all, the pure grit and amateurishness of the way the two live sets on Live are shot are far more appropriate for the New Orleans sludge legends than, say, a lavish light show, crane shots galore, and a five-channel surround mix. Nah, instead we’re privy to poorly lit, hand-held shots from various angles, most of which are right smack in the middle of the chaos the band is creating, and sound quality that’s muddy and distorted. It looks and sounds absolutely filthy, and it’s perfect." Added Cvlt Nation simply: "...a piece of Eyehategod cinematic history." A perfect dose of Black Flag meets Black Sabbath in ragged, live glory. Order your copy HERE where you'll also find a new selections of T-shirts and hoodies.
Following the sonic devastation that was their performance at Fun Fun Fun Fest earlier this month, New Orleans' hardcore, blues-based, post-amplification, dirge-doers Eyehategod are set to destroy Brooklyn, NY!
Commented front-man Mike Williams on the next round of pummel: "Following an amazing dark and cloudy show at Austin's Fun Fun Fun fest, America's drunkest sweethearts will set off on yet another East Coast exploration and research field trip into the age old tradition of self-abuse."

When it comes to bands that stand out for being unique while keeping their music simple, and that have managed to remain devoted to their craft regardless of the obstacles they have faced. The bands that are part of the New Orleans Heavy Music scene stand out for all of this and more. Think about when Hurricane Katrina hit the city of New Orleans and how every musician within the NOLA circuit of Heavy Music came together and helped each other out. This is because the musicians there treat each other like family and unlike most musical scenes, they created a scene around the people that surrounded them and not from a particular sound or style.
If there is a band that is living proof of all of this, it is Eyehategod. The band was founded in 1988 by Jimmy Bower and Joey Delatte, who were joined by Joe Fazzio and Kevin Bond from Crawlspace NoLa & Superjoint Ritual. Ever since their inception their have been various lineup changes, but regardless of whose in the band they have always been a driving force within the Heavy Music scene in NOLA. Their sludge Metal became a trademark within Heavy Music worldwide and their unique sound is incomparable. Eyehategod's music is the result of a group of friends getting together in a jam room and writing some simple, heavy and balls out music!
If there is a city that has received Eyehategod with arms wide open time and time again, it is New York City (the bands strongest market). The band loves playing in New York so much, that within the last year they have performed three times in the city that never stops rocking.
At their most recent stop in New York, we did the most chaotic interview in Horns Up Rocks history! This serves us and them right, specially since the only way to define Eyehategod is by using the word chaos! During the interview we discussed the past, the present, and the future of the band, as well as the comradery of the band. We also discussed their new Live DVD which is coming out on March 22nd, as well as when the fans can expect a new Eyehategod album.
Without further due, here is the exclusive interview we did with Eyehategod at Club Europa in Brooklyn. We want to thank our friends at Earsplit PR for hooking us up!
