(TeamRock Radio) Eyehategod say they kept going after the death of drummer Joey LaCaze because it's what he would have wanted. The band feature on the second episode of NOLA: Life, Death And Heavy Blues From The Bayou - a seven-part series focusing on the New Orleans metal scene.

Frontman Mike IX Williams insists splitting the band was never an option when LaCaze died in 2013 following complications from long-term asthma. He says: "It was never a question of ending the band when Joey passed away. We never thought it was over - it just didn't feel right. We knew Joey was like, 'You better not f***ing quit.' We could all feel this vibe."

Guitarist Jimmy Bower adds: "That was definitely a big hit for me. He was more than just important to the band - he had his own groove. Joey was our mentor.

"Knowing Joey, the dude he was and his sense of humour - I think that's why we kept going. It's what he would have done."
