* {{Angrish}}: Mike Williams sometimes resorts to this; his lyrics never really mean anything to begin with, and there are times where he doesn't even bother with them and just shrieks and howls wordlessly if he thinks that it will suit the song.

* GoingColdTurkey: How Mike managed to finally kick his drug habit altogether; while he had quit using heroin and was in a methadone program by the time Katrina hit, he was arrested shortly after that and was forced to go without drugs completely while in prison. Once he got out, he found that his addiction had faded completely.

Eyehategod (also referred to as EHG) is an influential SludgeMetal band from New Orleans, Louisiana that formed in 1988. Very little is known about the band's early days, however, two demos (''Garden Dwarf Woman Driver'', and ''Lack of Almost Everything'') were recorded. In 1992, they released their debut album In The Name of Suffering on a small French label (which dissolved after only 2,000 albums from EHG were printed), however, the band signed to Century Media, who re-released their debut album. With the release of their 1993 and 1996 albums ("Take as Needed for Pain" and "Dopesick", respectively), the band started to break out in the underground.

Despite only releasing four albums (and a bunch of EP's) in 25 years, the band is still active and successful, having toured with WhiteZombie, {{Pantera}}, and CorrosionOfConformity, among other acts.
