Eyehategod
Mike was invited to join Eyehategod by Jimmy Bower in 1988. Since then, all Eyehategod albums have featured his vocals which have been described as "tortured laryngitis screams", an "indecipherable ranting" and "the utmost sickening, puke-ridden audio atrocities that could actually prove deadly if taken in large doses".
For the recording of Dopesick, Eyehategod's third album, Williams went through several issues. At the time he was living in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn in New York City so he had to travel between there and New Orleans, Louisiana frequently for the recording sessions, which took place at Side One Studios. He attempted to record the sound of smashing glass for the introduction to the album, by smashing a bottle on the floor of the studio. In the process he slashed his hand open badly and bled all over the studio floor. One of the band members then apparently smeared the words "Hell" and "Death to Pigs" in his blood. The studio owner reportedly called Century Media to ask if the band were insane, and threatened to kick them out because of this.
