Emerging from the NOLA sludge scene 3 decades ago, Eyehategod are one of the most well known and one of the best in the business in their field of sludge doom Sabbath inspired music. Heavy but hook driven, swampy moods and gigantic riffs are the name of the game all encased in doomy heavy metal – there’s no mistaking a band with their sound.

It’s been a long time coming but the band finally hit Australia this week with the first show in Perth of all places. Tagging along for the tour is Black Rheno, a nice fit with the New Orleans veterans with their own brand of sludgey grind metal, and a band who have been making a name for themselves across the country. Most recently seen at Slayfest earlier in the year, it’s good to see the Sydney band back in the west.

Of course when it comes to swampy heavy music, no-one in Perth does it better than Bayou so it’s not surprising to see the locals opening the show. If ever there was a prelude to Eyehategod, they would be it. Of course the headliners themselves have been trying to hit our shores for quite some time now and the cards just haven’t worked out the way they needed to be but they finally made it with Perth getting the lucky spot on the first show of the tour.

For those that came down to get a bit of that good old sludge metal fix, relive the night with our photo gallery below captured by Adrian Thomson. The tour continues across Australia all week until November 15th.
