Two titans of New Orleans sludge metal, Crowbar and Eyehategod, are set to embark on a co-headlining U.S. tour this summer. The trek will begin on August 8 in Tampa, Florida, and conclude on August 30 in New Orleans, Louisiana, marking a powerful collaboration between the long-standing bands.
Eyehategod shared their enthusiasm, stating: “You axed for it…this August we hit the road with New Orleans family CROWBAR! Witness this devastating display of New Orleans riffery blazing up the East Coast this Summer! Tickets available NOW with presale code NOLA 25!”
The tour dates will feature both bands alternating headline slots, offering fans a diverse experience of sludge metal across various cities.
Crowbar’s latest studio album, the critically acclaimed Zero And Below, was released in March 2022 via MNRK Heavy. Produced, mixed, and mastered by Duane Simoneaux, the album was hailed as their most doom-driven effort since their 1998 release, Odd Fellows Rest. The band, led by Kirk Windstein (vocals, guitar), along with Matt Brunson (guitar), Shane Wesley (bass), and Tommy Buckley (drums), delivered tracks like “Chemical Godz” and “Bleeding From Every Hole,” showcasing their signature blend of raw emotion and crushing heaviness.
Meanwhile, Eyehategod released their first full-length album in seven years, A History Of Nomadic Behavior, in March 2021 through Century Media Records. The album was produced by Eyehategod, Sanford Parker, and James Whitten, with mixing handled by Whitten.
