Eyehategod are a touring machine, and the machine doesn't stop for anybody. Sadly, it looks like guitarist Jimmy Bower can't make this go-around. The band announced he's seeking "help for visions unknown," whatever that means.
Here is their statement:
In accordance with the chaotic lifestyle that is every day reality, EHG will continue to tour the USA while Jimmy Bower seeks help for visions unknown. We are happy to have back with us replacing him for this tour, our original second guitarist Brian Patton!! Brian also of 90’s prolific outfits Soilent Green & Outlaw Order has agreed to join us back to make this trek which includes Muddy Roots festival in Tennessee and Scorched Tundra fest in Chicago…….We are very excited and ready to DESTROY”
