Already regarded as one of modern metal’s most face-meltingly fantastic bands, High on Fire further solidifies its reputation with Death is This Communion, the Oakland trio’s fourth, most commanding album. SAN FRANCISCO WEEKLY No longer the best stoner-metal band in the land, High on Fire is now clearly, simply one of the country’s best metal bands, period. DALLAS OBSERVER shirtless metal somewhere between Motorhead’s biker thunder and Slayer’s muscular riffology. Still far and away one of the best metal acts going. AUSTIN AMERICAN STATESMAN the trio will steamroll your senses — a year of nonstop touring behind 2005’s Blessed Black Wings has made the already tight HoF an unstoppable metal monster NEW TIMES “HIGH ON FIRE is the sludgy resin from 30 years of super-hard-rock history transubstantiated into three men from Oakland with low-slung jeans” – NEW YORK TIMES “the apocalypse’s doomy, amp-destroying fifth horseman… galloping mammoth metal” – SPIN “unbelievably heavy…massive crunching riffs and drums that slam like vault doors” – REVOLVER “HIGH ON FIRE build a temple to The Riff and preach its word as loudly as humanly possible” – AUSTIN CHRONICLE “Tony Iommi’s jaw would drop.” – KERRANG! “For a band getting as much crossover attention as they do, locals High on Fire have remained staunchly, unapologetically metal over the years. Celtic Frost-meets-the Melvins riffage, topped off with vocals so hoarse they make Lemmy sound like a choirboy.” – SAN FRANCISCO BAY GUARDIAN “the sound of the planet getting broadsided by a shower of asteroids, and the crushing terror of 20-story stone beasts methodically obliterating everything in their path with each malevolent stomp. And you won’t want it to end.” – PHOENIX NEW TIMES
