With their first release since leaving Century Media, Eyehategod offers listeners an overview of their career with Preaching the End-Time Message, 10 tracks of dirty, southern-tinged heavy metal that�s equal parts stoner rock, distorted feedback and doomy sludge. If you�ve ever wondered where bands like Isis get their inspiration, look no further. Some of the songs found here were lifted from Eyehategod�s various seven-inch releases, and some are live recordings from the 2002 Japan tour, but there are also three new tracks. While not necessarily for the casual listener, Preaching is an excellent retrospective of a band whose influence can be felt far and wide, and show no sign of letting up anytime soon.
