Nice! Good to see they are re-release the Contamination Festival live album (the original was limited quantity). And a new album! Oh happy day. Just hoping they continue to get the promotion they've been getting with the last 2 albums.

I've been waiting to hear about something on a new release from them and I got confirmation on two, very cool. I didn't even know they weren't signed.

Seems like an odd choice. not many metal or even hard rock bands on the label. not sure why HOF is no longer with relapse, and i hope that they get adequate support from their new home.

Hopefully they can keep releasing teh same caliber of product that they have to date, with this new label. Either way its a CD that I will be waiting anxiously to pick up.

Written by opeth771 on 18.12.2008 at 01:08 I've seen Opeth twice and HoF once, Matt Pike has more stage presence in his left testicle than Akerfeldt has in his entire being (this coming from an Opeth fan, nothing meant against Alerfeldt, just Matt Pike has much more energy on stage). I'd really like to know whats so boring about them? Is it the fact they don't drown their music in keyboards like Nightwish, Blind Guardian, Sonata Arctica, Kalmah or Ensiferum?

Written by Doc G. on 18.12.2008 at 04:08 Totally. Matt Pike is so fun to watch on stage. He looks like hes having the best time of his life at every moment. Opeth just kinda stands there and lets the sound do the work while HoF takes the energy their music creates and moves and grooves with it. HoF isn't boring at all but it seems like their either amazing or horrible depending on the person

Written by -DC-002- on 18.12.2008 at 06:45 Definetly not a boring band, i saw them with opeth as well, and otehr then having a shorter set, they demolished opeth in pure stage skills and energy.

Written by opeth771 on 19.12.2008 at 01:28 Your wrong on Hof's stuff being basic. Pike's solos are crazy and no shit they don't show much progression, their a Sludge Metal band. Their not a Prog band like Opeth which is expected to have layered and technical songs and show chord progression.

Quote:Written by opeth771 on 19.12.2008 at 05:15 If you put that much emphasis on "skilled" vocals perhaps you should be listening to pop music instead? Mariah Carey is a very good vocalist, you'd probably like her. Their latest album was in fact very dynamic, with inclusions of unique instruments perfectly fitting into the sludgy grooves.....but something tells me you haven't actually listened to more than a song or two so I'll just stop wasting my time.

Written by BitterCOld on 17.12.2008 at 17:31 Even moving away from Relapse seems like an odd choice in itself, they seem to be a perfect fit on that label. Even moving to Earache would seem logical. Unless Koch carries is kind of an indie/alternative/hipster rock label then I could understand, High On Fire seem to strike a chord with the whole hipster crowd.
