The New Orleans metal scene is pulling together to help out ailing Eyehategod frontman Mike IX Williams with medical expenses with a special benefit show.
New Orleans sludge pioneers Eyehategod have officially recruited a new full-time drummer. Near the end of August, the band and the metal community lost drummer Joey LaCaze. As a founding member of Eyehategod, his influence can never truly be replaced, but drummer Aaron Hill has been elected to keep the band in tact.
