“If you play this record backwards, you’ll still hear voices telling you to break shit, get arrested, and drink Jägermeister. They just might suggest you read a history book, too.” – VILLAGE VOICE “the deeper you go into the record, the more reassured you become that these musicians know what they’re great at.” – NEW YORK TIMES “if there were a list of heavy metal commandments, number 666 would read: “Thou shalt devote thyself to the worship of High On Fire”. Every riff Matt Pike unleashes is beyond colossal…Pay your respects.” – KERRANG! “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, sim p ly one of the country’s best metal bands, p eriod.” – 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 “the a p ocaly p se’s doomy, am p -destroying fifth horseman… gallo p ing 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 “For a band getting as much crossover attention as they do, locals High on Fire have remained staunchly, una p ologetically metal over the years. Celtic Frost-meets-the Melvins riffage, to p p ed off with vocals so hoarse they make Lemmy sound like a choirboy.” – SAN FRANCISCO BAY GUARDIAN “the sound of the p lanet getting broadsided by a shower of asteroids, and the crushing terror of 20-story stone beasts methodically obliterating everything in their p ath with each malevolent stom p . And you won’t want it to end.” – PHOENIX NEW TIMES
