Eyehategod have noted Melvins, Black Sabbath, Black Flag, Saint Vitus, Carnivore, Swans and Flipper as key influences to their sound. These influences combined with heavy, down-tuned, bluesy riffs, walls of feedback and torturous vocals create a truly filthy, misanthropic atmosphere.
While Jimmy Bower was busy playing drums for Down, the remaining 4 members of Eyehategod formed a side-project called Outlaw Order (abbreviated to OO%). The band released a limited edition 7" EP in 2003 called Legalize Crime, which has since been re-released on CD with a bonus live track. 2008 saw the release of Outlaw Order's debut full-length, titled Dragging Down the Enforcer.

God: My Name is God (I Hate You)
The song "My Name Is God (I Hate You)" by Eyehategod is a powerful exploration of self-hatred, anger, and frustration. The lyrics are raw and confrontational, with the lead singer expressing his disdain for the world around him. The opening line, "I hate you, everything about you," sets the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer taking aim at society, religion, and himself.
The lyric "my name is god, I hate you" is a direct reference to the idea of a vengeful god who punishes and hates his followers. The song is a commentary on the hypocrisy of religion and the belief systems that govern society. The singer is using the persona of "god" to express his own feelings of anger and frustration towards the world.
The song also touches on themes of addiction and self-destruction, with the line "my name is a needle in your arm." The singer is acknowledging his own struggles with addiction and self-harm, and the destructive cycle that it creates.
Overall, "My Name Is God (I Hate You)" is a powerful and intense exploration of self-hatred, anger, and the struggle to find acceptance in a world that often seems cruel and indifferent.
