Wg dzisiejszych standardów, szeroko pojęty Sludge nazwiemy atmosferycznym graniem. Jak więc podejść do jednego z pierwszych, najlepszych i najbardziej wpływowych reprezentantów sceny? Śmiecia który atmosferyczną pompę podmienił atmosferą totalnego brudu, rozpaczy, bezsensu, heroiny i libacji w pustostanie...
Jedna z brzydszych "muzyk" świata. Tworzona na przestrzeni blisko trzech dekad przez stabilny skład niestabilnych osobowości. Powołany do życia w święto 420, 1988 roku przez pana utalentowanego gitarzystę Jimmy Bowera oraz Joeya LaCaze - bembeniarza który pięknie rytmicznie rozprawiał się z talentem pierwszego. Dopełnieniem trzonu zespołu jest wokalista charakterystyczny. Artysta niedoli ludzkiej i patologii Mike IX Williams. Druga gitara to przede wszystkim Brian Patton, w zespole od 93go, na bassie Pan "kolejni nieistotni basiści".
Poza muzycznymi skokami w bok (Superjoint Ritual, Soilent Green, Arson Anthem, Down, Crowbar, Corrections House) na koncie grajków znajdziemy miliony ekscesów, interwencji policji czyli wszelkiej maści osobistych upadków i wzlotów. Chłopaki dla przykładu przyjaźnili się z Sethem Putnamem co chyba samo wiele tłumaczy...
Pierwsze 10 lat aktywnej działalności to udana seria demówek i dlugograjów przypadkowo współdefiniujących Sludge Metal. Następnie w pierwszej dekadzie XXIw, EHG rozpłynął się w niebycie i powrócił do pełnej aktywności singlem New Orleans is the new Vietnam w 2011.
2013r. W wyniku problemów z drogami oddechowymi, po wieloletniej astmie umiera założyciel kapeli Joey LaCaze. Podstarzałego już składu nie powstrzymuje to jednak od kontynuowania kariery w biznesie muzycznym. Rok 2014 przynosi pełną reaktywacje wydawniczą i typowy dla formacji, utrzymany w tradycyjnej negatywnej tonacji album. Bardzo dobry album.
Na koniec wypada wypowiedzieć się o muzyce. A więc. Na przestrzeni lat brzmienie pozostaje szorstkie, brudne i celowo "niedbałe". Produkcja z płyty na płytę skłania się ku czytelniejszej i łatwiej przyswajalnej. Same zaś dźwięki to ataki p/hc agresji połączone z przesterowanym lepkim delcianym bluesem, narkotyczną rytmiką i strzępkiem nerwów na wokalu. Smród Brud i Ubóstwo albo Southern Sludge grany przez hc/punki.
Jako uzupełnienie polecam poszukać Drip i Outlaw Order. Zespołów zmontowanych przez 80/100% załogi EHG. Drugi w kolejności, istniejący podczas nieobecności zaangażowanego w inne projekty Jimmy'ego.
