Eagles Of Death Metal, a rock band from Palm Desert, California, was formed in 1998 by Jesse Hughes and Josh Homme. Despite their name, the band’s musical style is not death metal; instead, they blend garage rock, hard rock, alternative rock, desert rock, blues rock, and rockabilly. Homme, also a member of Queens of the Stone Age, rarely performs live with Eagles of Death Metal due to his commitments with his other band. The group initiated their presence in the music scene through Josh Homme’s The Desert Sessions Volumes 3 & 4 in 1998.
The band’s debut album, “Peace, Love, Death Metal,” was released in March 2004, marking their emergence in the commercial landscape. Several tracks from this album were licensed for prominent American television commercials and media, including campaigns for Ask.com, Comcast, Payless ShoeSource, Nissan Motors, Budweiser, Pontiac Motors, and Wendy’s. The song “I Only Want You” was notably featured in the soundtrack for the PlayStation 2 game “Gran Turismo 4” and used by Microsoft for the launch of Windows 8. The band’s work continued to gain traction with their second album, “Death by Sexy,” released in April 2006. This album further expanded their commercial reach, with tracks like “Chase the Devil” appearing in “Tony Hawk’s Project 8” and “Don’t Speak (I Came to Make a Bang!)” in “Need for Speed: Carbon.” “Cherry Cola” was used in a Microsoft Zune commercial, and “Don’t Speak” featured in the film “Epic Movie” and a Nike ad for UEFA Euro 2008. Their song “I Want You So Hard” was included in the HBO series “True Blood,” and “I Got A Feeling (Just Nineteen)” in an episode of “Criminal Minds.”
Their third album, “Heart On,” was released in October 2008. The single “Wannabe in L.A.” was featured in the video game “Midnight Club: Los Angeles,” “Guitar Hero 5,” and “DiRT 2.” Other tracks like “I’m Your Torpedo” and “High Voltage” appeared in the film “Whip It,” and “Now I’m A Fool” in the 2012 film “Silver Linings Playbook.” “High Voltage” was also part of an online campaign for Head & Shoulders in 2010. The band continued to release music, with their fourth album, “Zipper Down,” launched in October 2015. However, their European tour that year was tragically interrupted by the November 2015 Paris attacks during their concert at the Bataclan theatre, an event that led to significant humanitarian efforts and a documentary titled “Eagles of Death Metal: Nos Amis (Our Friends)” in 2017.
