I was amazed at all of the people who were eager to sign up for a verse. Winston, Clementine, Tasha, and The Boozehoundz thank everyone involved, and thank you to everyone who takes the time to give this insane track a spin!”

Eyehategod frontman Mike IX Williams recently sat down with The Void With Christina and discussed the band’s upcoming album, which is almost done. “It’s recorded. I just have to do vocals on it. We’ve been on tour so much. I was supposed to do it a few months ago, but something happened and things fell apart with that… we were leaving for tour immediately… So, I’m going to try to get it done.”

Phil Anselmo announced his newest project En Minor will be releasing their debut LP  When the Cold Truth Has Worn Its Miserable Welcome Out  September 5, including the most recently released single “Blue.”
