CATEGORY: HARDCORE ROCK | DURATION: 50 MINUTES
Heralding a new, misanthropic and purposefully ugly form of grinding heavy hardcore rock – sometimes called “sludge metal” by journalists – for the post-metal age, Eyehategod’s Take As Needed For Pain excavates a discordant, subterranean groove through human garbage using a series of neolithic fuzz-riffs as a battering-ram. Sometimes descending into psychotic noise, as in the 7-minute “Disturbance”, this album presents an unvarnished view of society’s sick underbelly, the listener’s face slammed against a grime-splattered pane of petty crime, addiction and mental illness. A toxic twilight classic.
