More than 129 people were killed in seven coordinated terrorist attacks in the French capital on November 13.
The greatest number of deaths took place at the Bataclan, where terrorists began a siege that ended with 89 people in the club either shot to death or killed in explosions.
The attacks in Paris led to a military response by France against the radical Islamic organizationISIS, as French jets bombed a series of targets in Syria.
The attacks have stepped up worldwide concern overISIS, as well as a debate in the U.S. over whether to accept Syrian refugees.
Eagles Of Death Metalwas founded in 1998 byQuees Of The Stone Age mainmanJosh Hommeand his longtime friendJesse Hughes.Hommeappears on all the band's albums but only plays live with them occasionally.
The band's most recent album,"Zipper Down", was released in October and entered at No. 59 on The Billboard 200 album chart. The first single is called"Complexity".
