Eyehategod - A History of Nomadic Behavior (2021)

On A History of Nomadic Behavior, the new Eyehategod album, the more civilized production can be a bit disturbing, but the Black Sab' meets Black Flag meets the blues riffs are quick to make the Eyehategod listener feels at home. A slightly more tidy home, but still home, definitely. Good vocals from Mike Williams also.
