Formed in 1998 in Palm Desert, California, by best friends Jesse Hughes and Joshua Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), Eagles of Death Metal made their recording debut when they appeared on Homme's The Desert Sessions Volumes 3 & 4, released that same year.

Hughes and Homme have a studio album set for a worldwide release in late 2023.
Fronted by Hughes, the Eagles of Death Metal live band is filled out by Jennie Vee on bass, Jorma Vik on drums, and Joshua Jove on guitar.
