Any local metalhead knew to get to Underground Arts on Sunday to see Louisiana sludge lords Eyehategod, in town as part of their 2014 North American tour promoting the very recent release of their self-titled full length album, their first since 2000..

The Southern doom metallers received fervent tour support from their openers, Cleveland’s own thrash/hardcore outfit Ringworm and the punk-encrusted Enabler. The show also kicked off with Philadelphia’s Sunburster and the musically comprehensive Sadgiqacea.

Needless to say there was no lack of heavy and the riffs were plentiful on this night – Eyehategod is infamous for their long, self-sustaining sets. The rest of the lineup was dense and eclectic and brought some of the best out of local headbangers, from fans of punk and hardcore to metalhead diehards.
