Eyehategod’s Mike IX Williams: From “Take As Needed for Pain” to “Dopesick” 

Arguably the godfathers of sludge metal, New Orleans’ Eyehategod broke the mould with their seminal classic records Take As Needed for Pain (1993) and Dopesick (1996). In this raw and revealing conversation, frontman Mike IX Williams takes us inside the chaos, addiction, controversy, and creative breakthroughs that shaped both albums – from blood-soaked studio sessions to punk roots, noise influences, and finding meaning through music when survival wasn’t guaranteed.
