Eyehategod have set May 26th as the European release date for their highly anticipated new album, courtesy of Housecore Records. The self-titled effort was recorded and produced by Stephen Berrigan at Philip H. Anselmo's Nodferatu's Lair studio.

Vocalist Mike IX Williams said of the effort:

I have to say I don’t believe we’ve lost nary a step in the creation of this album and we think these newer songs are a killer combination of classic Eyehategod mixed along with our best production, mixing, engineering and songwriting in thirteen years. The main and total tragic break in the chain, was obviously last year’s death of our great friend and drummer, Joey LaCaze. However, his original drum tracks made it onto the final master recordings and we’re fucking psyched about that… As for working with Housecore, it was a no-brainer. We’ve always been a family, and will always remain a family.

Anselmo also commented on it:

Being a part of the new EHG record is a dream come true. I’ve known, supported and loved the guys for almost as long as I’ve been playing music myself, and it is our pleasure here at The Housecore Records Compound to have ‘em aboard. And I gotta mention, having heard the new record, this is the Eyehategod record every true fan has been waiting for…. Hail!
