Peace, Love, Death Metal is the debut studio album by Eagles of Death Metal, released by AntAcidAudio on March 23, 2004.
Eagles of Death Metal is a garage rock band fronted by Jesse Hughes. The album was recorded primarily by Hughes (credited as “J. Devil Huge” or “Mr. Boogie Man”) and Josh Homme (credit as “Carlo von Sexron” or “Baby Duck”), and featured guest appearances by Tim Vanhamel, Nick Oliveri, Alain Johannes, and Natasha Shneider.
Homme told MTV News that the band is led by Hughes: “I just sit behind the drums and play rock and roll, which is a great change of pace for me. J. Devil writes everything, every lyric and riff, and he’s a fantastic songwriter. He and I go through and arrange them, and I lay down harmonies, but it’s really his thing. It’s the antithesis of the bloated rock-attitude bullshit I’ve had to deal with recently.” Homme promoted the band and wore one of its t-shirts when appearing on the Lollapalooza tour with his main band Queens of the Stone Age in 2003.
