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.
