The album that changed my life. I have listened to this on repeat more than any album by far. Some deride the production...too muddy. It's perfect! I have seen High on Fire play live many times, and I am telling you this fuzzy production is as close to the real thing as you can get. Sadly Des left the band...a legendary drummer and dearly missed. I adore the entire High on Fire catalog, but this is the band at their stoner/doom peak. A 21st century metal masterpiece.
Billy Anderson is the sound engineer, and he has a reputation for having muddy sounding recordings. I love him anyway. He did Brutal Truth's Sounds of the Animal Kingdom also. I saw HoF twice, once for Black Wings and again for Communion, and the sound was clearer than this, this sounds like they are playing a room or two away, but I love that kind of muffled sound. Their was a guy named Wharton Tiers who recorded Dinosaur Jr back in 1985, and many of those kind of weird underground bands of the 80s (Das Damen and a White Zombie LP on Caroline records called Soul Crusher which is one of my favorites.) Wharton and Billy are spiritual kin.
Call me sentimental, but muddy makes you wanna push it hard in terms of sheer loudness. I turn to eleven, thousands of blind robotic rams are headbutting me and dopamine skyrockets. I therefore quote you, a 21st century metal masterpiece. Fuck.
@Azhag Dark I'm not a conservative, I'm a very liberally minded person, but I respect the right of everyone to their own opinion. And I seem to remember that they didn't always share the same political views, but they still got on well enough to play some damn fine metal.
This is seriously my all time favorit album. "Razor hoof" and "Hung drawn and quartered" are the best songs, but there's not a bad track on here really. I've probably spent more time on this album then on any other album on this entire planet of earth. No exaggeration.
HoF discography is flawless but this is still my favorite album That sludgy speedy crushing stoner doom only this band can make at it's finest Des your work is eternal, thank you
I go back and forth between Snakes and Death ITC...Like you said discog is flawless...I also love Pike versus the Automaton...Funny I'm not the biggest Sleep fan,but HOF and Corrosion Of Conformity and Obituary are the best out lately 🤘🤘🤘
@@jackoffjohn this, Blessed Black Wings, Death is this Communion, De Vermis Mysteris, Automaton and the new Cometh the Storm are my favs Corrosion and Obituary I didn't checked it out yet, thanks 🤘
this is - in my opinion - the best metal album ever recorded. you can sing along to every riff, the lyrics are awesome and the way they move together is fukkin sikk
Thank you for uploading an entire album in HQ. I can't tell you how easy it is to share this with friends and have them enjoy this album with me. I will continue to buy and share so others will buy.
I distinctly remember the first time I heard it. I was stunned that there was a drummer that could play that hard and intense having heard more hard rock previously.
Ocean Sage First time I heard it was in Tony Hawk's Underground when I was like 11 or 12. I remember it pissing my parents off, which made me like it more. But I just loved the energy of the drumming and the riff.
I'll never know what song that got me hooked but im sure it was from this album on a metal show on a rock station that i heard this amazing thunder coming through. i was moving furniture, a mattress up some stairs, i said brb, one sec and waited for the song to finish...."That was high on fire...blah blah..." okay got it. Never looked back.
This smokes, it far better than a band called high on fire with the songs titles like eyes and teeth, speedwolf, and nemesis should be. Despite all of that it kicks ass with a sabbath style heaviness combined with the speed and delivery of the late great lemmy. It's pretty amazing and I recommend it to anyone with ears.
Three bands on the Relapse roster I can name that have an absolutely FLAWLESS catalog: Dillinger, Neurosis, and High on Fire. They just never made bad music.
Riding out to conquer all humanity Yes this is a great album the one before this one I feel was the best but You cannot count out the 3rd because of joe Preston that could be the best after that one I’m not interested

I think I've found the riff filled land that was talked about in dopesmoker.
You followed the smoke ? That's awesome, dude
I followed lol
lol indeed. i heard he dropped the bong tho
@@zdengvox He followed the great dust stomp of Mammoth treks, Dopesmoke, wolf grind and found the river valley of rifftastic HOF promised land.

Yeah it's a real shame about Des stepping down from HoF, but I get it, he's got a family he never sees, being on the road as much as he is.

A beautiful blend of Frost, Motorhead, Sabbath, Slayer, and Venom. Total worship

When I am riff-hungry I come here.
yea i revisit this album like once a month for a week straight
urdisturbing this album is hard to top...
this came out my senior year in highschool....an era for me. my fav too for sure
You were brought up proper.

This is like Black Sabbath and Motörhead would have given birth to a radioactive baby.
You took the words right out of my mind before the first track ended. I've only heard sleep prior to this.
@@Morbidous pretty much this
Saw them live in 2005. My ears have yet to recover
Yes i seen them in 2019 and i was on the front row,,man that was a mistake
HOF have a fenomenal discography, love all albuns of them
Matt has yet to make a riff that isn't skull crushing
this is - in my opinion - the best metal album ever recorded. you can sing along to every riff, the lyrics are awesome and the way they move together is fukkin sikk
@Dale Griffim The Arrt of Self Defense has the better sound for me. Real heavy stuff. This sounds softer for me, but the songwriting is amazing.
@Dale Griffim no.
@@bernabefernandeztouceda7188 FIREFACE !!!
Matt Pike deserves a Nobel Prize.
He won a grammy yesterday
@@geronimosantacruz4110 ua-cam.com/video/Tf9V0hwJ6qk/v-deo.html
Easy top 5 in the entire Relapse catalog.
Thank you for uploading an entire album in HQ. I can't tell you how easy it is to share this with friends and have them enjoy this album with me. I will continue to buy and share so others will buy.
Great guitar sound...that´s how Metal should sound like
this album is a real warbattle mastership!
hung drawn and quartered, that drum intro sounds like an old harley warming up...fucking yes
Love this album. One of my favourite metal records
Hung, Drawn, and Quartered is my shit. Probably one of the best metal songs in the last 20 years.
I distinctly remember the first time I heard it. I was stunned that there was a drummer that could play that hard and intense having heard more hard rock previously.
Ocean Sage First time I heard it was in Tony Hawk's Underground when I was like 11 or 12. I remember it pissing my parents off, which made me like it more. But I just loved the energy of the drumming and the riff.
25 years ago...
Best HOF album, hands down.
The guitar sound paired up with unforgettable riffs makes this whole album perfect
The Yeti has the sickest riff!!!!
The time of yeti will rise, because our ways have been wise
Not Yet-i...
It's Pike's riffage magnum opus, so fun to cover on guitar!
@@neosmith8933 i swear i was gonna write that!
My favorite by HoF ! The Yeti, Thraft of Canaan, Surrounded by Thieves, Razor Hoof... A fucking malestrom of Stoner Doom Riffs !
Fav album of HoF
sounds like im climbing a volcano, so sick
I dont know why but the song "The Yeti" goes really well as background music when watching videos about Orangutans.
lol
You are a man of culture, I see.
😂👍
Pike is the most impressive guitarist I have ever seen live. You just stare in awe
I agree, Matt is one of the most powerful live musicians ever
yep seen him twice with HoF and Sleep
Like this older stuff better than newer stuff. It has more variations and still just as heavy!
Like a bomb blasting in my ears. I LOVE IT.
Fantastic listen, from start to finish!
If Robert E. Howard was a metal album
This album is brutal!! 💪😊
it just don't get no better
yea i k now right
I need to purchase this
This takes me back to my mid twenties: copious amounts of dope and countless hours in my jeep.
I'll never know what song that got me hooked but im sure it was from this album on a metal show on a rock station that i heard this amazing thunder coming through. i was moving furniture, a mattress up some stairs, i said brb, one sec and waited for the song to finish...."That was high on fire...blah blah..." okay got it. Never looked back.
Some bands have IT, some don't. ....HOF definitely have IT
I love how the closing drums of Razor Hoof are also the opening drums on Deviloution, from their next album Blessed Back Wings
Razor Hoof riff is just pure Iron man
#CLASSIC
whatta brutal fukkin albbum!!
Speedwulf kicks your ass 10x over !\m/!
First of all when does the new CD come out and what else is he remastering
the yeti is one of the heaviest most fucking sadistic High on Fire songs
should steal these riffs
THRAFT
So underrated
Holy shit! This is fucking heavy!
Every time I hear this I shit myself a little then I giggle uncontrollably.
Nice work, bone Daddy.
Definitely motor head vibes
Why is "Hung, Drawn and Quartered" considered the best song on this album? Imo, the title track is by far the best song.
It's because it was on headbangers ball yo

Despite all of that it kicks ass with a sabbath style heaviness combined with the speed and delivery of the late great lemmy. It's pretty amazing and I recommend it to anyone with ears.
not sure what you mean, those song titles and the band name are all killer. You have some better song titles in mind?
How come the LP reissue is not available anymore? It just came out 2 years ago? Hmmm....
wow this has to be in the running for album of the year! intense*
yeah on 2002
why did relapse records just post this then.. fucker's i thought it was new lol
hahahahaha i know
shit happens
I'm guessing you've already checked out some of their other shit but if you haven't then Blesses Black Wings is a fucking orgasm of an album
o fuck THE YETI
40:03, OMFG
Des fucking Kensel
anyone know what the logo's font is called?

I pick up this cd to a house of a friend.
Same, this cd was of my father's friend
MATT PIKE has never made a bad HOF album,,i give them all A,,except for ELECTRIC MESSIAH,,I gave that one a B..
Electric Messiah has one of the most savage drum tracks ever recorded, the entire album
ALL HAIL THE RIFFAGE
Senex is its own
Énorme
❤️❤️❤️
Trampler unseen!!!!
muy bueno
this make me wanna pillage
Steven Bell Don't forget rape.
High of fire BEST. This is stoner metal album
Is it fair to say that high on fire have never released an album that isn’t brilliant. How’s that done?
✋💀🔥⚰️🔥⚰️🔥⚰️
AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
The title track makes all the others song like Justine Beebur
Back when High On Fire brought the heat... ain't been the same since. When Rice left the band, he took its soul with him
You're on the toot if you aren't down with Blessed Black Wings and Death Is This Communion.
@Atomic Duck so did Justin Beiber. The fck does that matter
@Atomic Duck lol what a dumb ass reply. Like popularity and Grammys has ever been a measure of quality for metal. Smh
wat
Your dad told me this is what they play in all the gay bars in Seattle.
High on fire >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Metallica
Obey The Riff!

come on, De Vermis and Lumine4rferousness....whatever spelling, are awesome too..but Blessed Black Wings - best album i have ever heard.
for those who like Tape equalization any Stoner band is perfect and this one is not different
you're just a singer what do you even know about riffs
lol max was better
This album is not even close to being as heavy as Metallica LOAD and RELOAD. It's about as heavy as LULU
Even Lou Reed is confused on this one RIP, to put HOF anywhere in comparison with metallicrap is just unnatural like kirk without his wah!!!
@@kittymarlu526 lmao 😎😋😂
I was being silly...
@@kittymarlu526 Kirk does love his wah 😂
@@TheGreatAlan75 dido, once I saw that those were the LR collab albums I saw the sarcasm lol

Bateria irritante demais, o disco todo só barulho de prato de bateria e mais nada.. Quem aguenta isso?!
Eu recomendo Coldplay para ti. Talvez U2...deixa o metal para os homens a serio. Isto é um dos melhores discos da historia do metal rapaz.
Se não curte bateria no metal eu recomendo Sunn O))), Earth ou Aarsland
overrated and musically uninteresting
gayboy
don't be so hard on yourself

okay, i give. you're just that dull.
you probably like djent and other crap/bullshit
