THANK FUCKING YOU, BASED GOD 🙏🏽

Was wondering when these guys would hop to it again after Electric Messiah. I think this would be their longest gap between LPs now, but I can’t see that adversely affecting the quality here when their discog has been so consistent already

Hell yeah! The kings of stoner sludge! Can't wait!

Now, I know AI art is controversial, but I think this is a really cool use of it. The constantly morphing images really add to that psychedelic vibe. Who knew AI could understand the feeling of metal music so well

The only thing that cometh now is me, in mine pants.

Honestly, I feel the same dude. People were shitting on this on instagram but I thought it looked cool as fuck. I still don't have high hopes for us using AI as a society properly.. this use is the least of my concerns (more concerned with military and Gov't using AI for war and subjugation of the masses).

This is no Snakes For The Divine which is my favourite albums of theirs. And six years since the last album is a long time so you don't really know what to expect, but after an initial listen I must say that I quite like this one and it will be a grower for sure. High On Fire never disappoints.

I've done a reverse marathon of their discog in the past week or so in preparation for this, and on first listens, it delivers what has come to be expected of High On Fire: a mix of rampant thrashy sludge tracks alongside some more dynamic slower cuts. Nothing in either camp stood out to me in the way their best songs have (nothing as memorable as Snakes For The Divine on the fast track front, nothing as emphatic as King Of Days or Steps Of The Ziggurat on the slower front), but it's still a respectable addition to their discog with some cool tracks. The title track and the final song stood out most on first spin

I just played King Of Days and that main riff is nostalgically beautiful. Thanks for the tip!

Still probably my favourite song by them

To be honest I get bored after 35 minutes, This is like 1h , stick on the time, 40 minutes and its ok, otherwise its luck of inspiration and quality . But well well I get trough this.

Damn, his vocals are especially vile and aggressive on this one! I like the Melechesh-esque oriental instrumental. Other than that, nice intense sludge

Yep, I ain't got no problems with this one. Vintage High on Fire.

I love that instrumental as well. Brings to mind similar ones off Death Is This Communion. Would probably call it the sleeper hit of the album.

Not bad, but I was hoping for a Drowning Dog moment. Didn't quite get one

It's a pretty solid album overall, nothing groundbreaking but lot's of cool riffs, great drumming, decent vocals, and just a solid all round performance. It's heavy, groovy, and fun, just as I expected it to be tbh. "Hunting Shadows", and "Cometh the Storm" are the highlights for me.

Solid album. Nice drumming and some good riffs

Solid indeed. Good mixture of heavy metal riffs, growling, stoner, and Motorheadish vibes

Maybe their best work so far

Yes it is a lot of fun, but does get monotonous after some time. But the two music videos released by then, they are really eye-catching.

Good, I was listening to this in the morning. Even HoF wasn't up-to-the-mark on this record, it still sounds way inferior to other Stoner metal releases of 2024.
