Album Description

"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

Massive power trio HIGH ON FIRE are a supersonic exercise in conquest by volume. Equal parts molten metal and earthquake panic, HIGH ON FIRE's MOTORHEAD-meets-SLAYER roar is outrageously loud and absolutely punishing. With Blessed Black Wings, guitarist / vocalist Matt Pike (ex-SLEEP) unleashes a devastating combination of bombastic guitar and howling war cries, weaving fantastical tales of supernatural beasts, forgotten battles and rivers of blood over an unstoppable bass and drum assault. HIGH ON FIRE are a class unto themselves, manhandling rock music while locking into grooves that transcend time.

This is a good jam! Buy it if you are into dirty metal bands such as His Hero is Gone!

The Stoned Riffs of Matt Pike-Brother In The Wind........2007-04-02

Matt Pike is defintely a Brother In The Wind. I love that tune. Self Defense was great, Surrounded By Thieves an instant classic, and Black Wings here has got to be one the greatest metal albums ever made. Stoner metal, rock, doom, whatever tag you wish to place on this, these songs will live on forever ... at least in my heart. I can't name one song on this that I don't think is killer beyond belief. Devilution will open the set and prepare you for what's to come. Brother In The Wind will send chills down your spine, and by the time you get to the monster sound on Sons of Thunder, you will be a believer. Hail High On Fire. Bring on the next one Matt!!!!!!!

High on Fire is one of the best things to come along to the metal scene in a LONG time. Every HOF cd is worth it's weight in gold and this one is the best, buy it now!! Thank you Matt Pike, can't wait for what's next!!

Damn good stoner metal.......2007-03-26

It's probably High on Fire's most accessible album to date, mostly because it is their most up-tempo and it has the best production. Great songs, great tones, great band.

a cross between Motorhead and Slayer.......2006-12-16

High On Fire's vocalist Matt Pike sounds like a cross between Tom Araya of Slayer and Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead. as a matter of fact, their music sounds like a battle of the bands between Motorhead and Slayer. the DVD that is included with this album is a nice touch. on it, you get to see the band in action. I would love to see a new album from this band sometime soon.
