Billy Anderson – production, engineering, mixing.Another cover of this track by Intronaut was included in Century Media's cover album Century Media Records: Covering 20 Years of Extremes. "Dixie Whiskey" is also featured in Identity 3.D!, a compilation album released by Century Media Records. "My Name Is God (I Hate You)", "Dogs Holy Life", "Dixie Whiskey", "Ruptured Heart Theory", "Lack of Almost Everything", "Zero Nowhere", "Methamphetamine", "Broken Down But Not Locked Up" and "Anxiety Hangover" were covered by different bands for For the Sick, a tribute to Eyehategod by various artists released by Emetic Records. The original version of "Depress" can be found in In the Name of Suffering. "Peace Thru War (Thru Peace and War) (Alternate Version)" Chronicles of Chaos' Gino Filicetti went so far as to describe Michael Williams' vocals as "puke-ridden" in a 1996 review of the album for the webzine. Dopesick sounds slightly different from the band's previous records because it was produced to sound denser and heavier with the drums more up front in the mix and the guitars sounding especially thick. Songs such as "Peace Thru War (Thru Peace and War)" and "Lack of Almost Everything" alternate up-tempo hardcore punk sections with slowed-down grooves. "Dogs Holy Life" and "Non Conductive Negative Reasoning" both feature inventive and ear-grabbing guitar parts before ending abruptly, according to William York of AllMusic. "Dixie Whiskey" has a main riff that sounds, reportedly, like a swamp-bred Black Sabbath. It is somewhat diverse musically, but not in terms of mood. The album opens with Mike Williams' screams and the sound of a broken bottle. The new edition included three bonus tracks recorded during the original Dopesick recording sessions.
EYEHATEGOD TAKE AS NEEDED FOR PAIN BAND SERIES
On June 27, 2006, the album was reissued as part of Century Media's 20th Anniversary series of reissues. Thanks to the LP, the band was able to embark on a United States tour in the spring of 1997, supporting White Zombie and Pantera, bringing their music to a far wider audience. The album was finally released on April 2, 1996. After completion, Brian Patton and Joey LaCaze flew out to San Francisco to mix the album at Hyde Street Studio with Billy Anderson, who would also be the album's engineer. The album's recording finished during the winter of 1995. One of the band members then apparently smeared the words "Hell" and "Death to Pigs" in Williams' blood. In the process, he slashed open his hand and bled all over the studio floor this recording did make it to the record as the introduction to the first track, "My Name Is God (I Hate You)". This particular incident occurred after Mike Williams had attempted to record the sound of smashing glass for the introduction to the album, by smashing a bottle on the floor of the studio. The recording sessions were infamously chaotic, and involved the studio owner reportedly calling Century Media to ask if the band was mentally unstable, and threatening to kick them out. It was recorded at Side One Studios in New Orleans so frontman Mike Williams had to travel often between there and Clinton Hill, Brooklyn in New York City, where he was living at the time. The album featured Billy Anderson and Pepper Keenan as producer and co-producer respectively and new bassist Vince LeBlanc. After the release of Take as Needed for Pain, Eyehategod's previous album, the band recorded several demos, which were released on various 7" records and splits on various labels, before finally settling down in the fall of 1995 to record a full-length record, Dopesick.
