High On Fire - Start Working On New Album, New Tour Dates
High On Fire fans rejoice because the California metallers have begun work on their new, as-yet-untitled studio album. The group has convened for writing sessions in both New Orleans, LA and Oakland with early reports indicating the band's new material to be both "epic" and "sonically huge". In addition to the new album, High On Fire has announced a handful of upcoming U.S. live dates as well as an Australian headlining tour and a European headlining trek. See the dates here.
A winter 2015 tentative release date via Century Media Records (Europe/UK) and eOne (North America) is expected for the new album, the follow-up to 2012's De Vermis Mysteriis.
"Des, Jeff and I are really getting creative and writing a hell of a new record," states Matt Pike. "It's a crazy project and I can't really explain what it's all about just yet, but we've been writing a lot of crazy intense material that will up the ante, and bring things to another level."
"Everyone is asking what the new High On Fire music sounds like," adds Kensel. "Chew on some mescaline and listen to side B of Sabbath's Master Of Reality backwards at 78 RPM and it might give you an idea."

"Chew on some mescaline and listen to side B of Sabbath's Master Of Reality backwards at 78 RPM and it might give you an idea." Where's the peyote when I need it?

YES! I hope Matt Pike is also working on that new Sleep album. I actually recently ordered the last 2 HOF albums that I don't have, so I am so ready for this!  Also, I'm going to be 20 years old in 2 weeks and that's still a year away from being allowed to see one of my favorite bands ever. They're even fucking playing in Chicago where I'm near for 3 FUCKING SHOWS! I HATE BE UNDER 21! FUCK ME!

Written by deadone on 29.05.2014 at 02:08 Yeah, Snakes for the Divine with Death is this Communion's or De Vermis Mysteriis' production would be cool. I don't think that anyone will be disappointed though, it is High On Fire.
