New Orleans' EYEHATEGOD will take to the streets again next month beginning with a short run of live debauchery in California and Mexico from February 27th through March 3rd. From there, the band will play a pair of shows in Japan with NAPALM DEATH, MELT-BANANA, and MISERY INDEX, followed by one-off shows in The Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore. Beginning March 29th in Houston, Texas, EYEHATEGOD will deafen the masses on the 4 Strikes... From The Elementary To The Penitentiary Tour 2019. The journey will pillage its way through sixteen cities, concluding April 13th on the band's home turf of New Orleans, Louisiana. Support will be provided by doom icons THE OBSESSED and punk rock veterans ANTISEEN on select dates. Additionally, the band will play two very special shows in Brooklyn, New York: the first (now sold out) show finds EYEHATEGOD sharing the stage with NEGATIVE APPROACH, SHEER TERROR, and FUCK YOU PAY ME, and the second with NEGATIVE APPROACH, SHEER TERROR, PHOBIA, and DISASSOCIATE.

In a review of their New York City performance at Brooklyn Bazaar last year, Rolling Stone crowns EYEHATEGOD, "one of America's great live bands," further and accurately elaborating, "There are certain bands who are very good at playing heavy rock or metal music. They're tight, intense, professional; they project just the right air of macho authority. You might catch them in a club, nod your head and shoot 'not bad' looks to your friends during their set, and spring for a T-shirt at the merch table afterward. Then there are other bands, a very small handful, who, through some alchemical combination of execution and attitude, transcend their subgenre completely and connect with the primal root of rock & roll, offering showgoers a hint of that sacred, 'What in the fuck is happening right now?' wildness that's been the hallmark of great American artists from HOWLIN' WOLF to Jerry Lee Lewis and the STOOGES. EYEHATEGOD are one of these bands."
