High on Fire videos are one of the main reasons I come to UA-cam. I have their vinyl records, which is the way to listen for the best sound, but their dopest metal videos ever bring me back to this digital platform often! 🤟🏼 💚🔥🍃👌🏼🌬️💨💨💨
@@serpentinefire921 Vinyl played on good speakers gives a better sound wave for sure as opposed to digital recordings uploaded digitally, then played back again digitally. Each time it comes through digital platforms, the sound wave gets more & more lost in translation. Vinyl is simply King! ✨
@@hightreestess you're full of it son. Source audio is what counts. If the source audio is shit(like a digitally recorded and mastered vinyl) then the quality of the system means literally nothing. You paid twice as much to look hip about sometime you don't even understand. Congratulations
@@serpentinefire921 Yo, life is a mirror, daughter... so maybe you're the one who's full of it. That's what I said in other words. I just didn't use a hip word like "source sound" to look cool on the interwebs. I guess I wasted all that time graduating college for Recording Technology & running soundboards as an Audio Tech Sound Engineer for my profession. What do I know? .... I'm just a woman. & You're just a troll. ✌🏼
Well Done! Killer song, and video. First time to hear of these guys. Damn 8 years. But almost 3 million views, hell yeah. But the more I think about it, it may not be heavy enough :) Especially at 3:30 Good Band.
@@simonampel High on fire: "We want this video to be He-man, but heavy metal." Animation director: "Ok so your saying we should just go wilde?" High on fire:"Yes"
@@shanedude91 yes, i directed the character animation, boarded most of the second half and animated a fair amount of it (some shots in the beginning and most everything from about 3:33 to 4:20). It was directed by Hey Beautiful Jerk and Skinner and it's intended to look like one of his paintings. There's a lot of inspiration from old saturday morning cartoons, heavy metal comics, conan and all that good pulp fiction shit we grew up on. Not sure what to call the style, but I wish there was more of it. You can see more of my work on insta (@simonampel) and there's a few in process things from this up on my site (simonampel.com) Hey Beautiful Jerk and Skinner also have instas which are worth checking out. In fact, the whole crew was pretty badass and I recommend looking them up. The credits are below the vid.
Just stumbled onto these while listening to Pighead. This is the most metal video I've seen and what a bop. The vocalist sounds familiar, orange goblin comes to mind??
"Our hero, Balthanon leads his army into battle! His intentions are not entirely noble, as he sacrifices his army to reach his arch nemesis, the Technomage, who is holed up in his castle, magically creating his army of bio-tech monsters and chilling with his powerful yet stylish helmet. Upon his arrival at the castle, Balthanon is easily defeated by the Technomage and his army and hauled to the graveyard like it ain’t no thing. On the verge of death, Balthanon is not doing great, when all of a sudden, a mystical yeti witch shows up to save the day! She heals him with some magic shrooms that make him trip his balls off and ultimately gives him the strength he needs to take on the Techromage again. He runs back to the castle for revenge, but whose revenge is he actually exacting? Watch and find out!" - The plot of "The Black Plot"

incredible animation, awesome story , the band hopefully pay the animation teaM and still consider another video or 2. top 10 speed metal video as 2023
I really wish this was a video game. Also, I love how the guy pretends to go back to being dead as if the weird witch-woman is going to leave his corpse alone
I’ve been lucky enough to have seen almost every band I’ve wanted to see…Motorhead,the Ramones,Soundgarden (in the 90’s),Pantera with the brothers,Metallica when they still had long hair,Helmet,Slayer,BLS,Clutch,Pearl Jam in the 90’s,the Obsessed,Type O Negative in DC in 96 on Halloween,Tool,Down,etc but I have never seen High on Fire & damnit !! I’m gonna 😉🤘🏻🖤
I saw this band in summer 2015 at the FEQ, they played the second entry (I don't remember the first metal band before) Megadeth but High on Fire was so good I never heard of that band before that. The Black Pot is the first song I've heard of HOF because they started the show with that song!
If anybody wonders about what it feels to be in this world - play "amid evil" while listening to this. The same colour pattern. The same dynamics. The same setting.
Holy shit how am I just now finding this??? Song fucking rocks! Music video fucking rocks! This is so fucking heavy! 36 years old and I haven't gotten pumped up by a heavy metal song like this in almost 10 years. Totally fucking epic!!!!!
Welp...looks like I've found a new favorite band. And I'm not much of a Metalhead. More into Punk Rock and Hardcore, but this is something else. Absolutely outstanding!
This almost exact thing happened at our farmers market last week.

Damn, a 5+ minute fully animated video is no joke, this was a huge undertaking. Amazing!
It's gorgeous
Love the affinity between this kind of stuff and metal. Wish this were a series..

So beautiful I'm crying, looks like a sequel to Heavy Metal movie
i was thinking exactly the same ! A psychedeledic version Heavy Metal !
Alt+Doom there is a movie coming out next year like Heavy Metal. Google "The Planet of Doom" movie. It's gonna be awesome.
Alt+Doom I thought the same thing.
there is a heavy metal 2. heavy metal 2000
Oh fuck yes

Im stoned AF, and this is the best thing I have ever seen.
Watch it on acid...sounds awesome too👹🤘🏼👽
This may be the coolest music video ever. I'm new to High on Fire but I am digging this pretty hard right now.
This is like the 1970s all over again, but done properly this time.
Saludes de Colombia!!! que chimba de energía!!!!! mas metal así!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is brutally beautiful. I love this so much!
The message of the story is work smarter not harder.
and don't break deals.
I think the message is sometimes you are a little bit unlucky, don't give up, try one more time!
If you don't win, cheat and try again.

Can't till it comes with its own trading cards.

20 yrs and these guys REMAIN HEAVY. Thank the old gods for High on Fire
I'm here from 5 years in the future to confirm that, High on Fire are indeed still HEAVY AS FUCK.

@@infomatrix7394 HELL YEA !
Some of the coolest monster designs I've seen in a while, well animated and mind blowingly colorful.

Best opening band I've ever seen. They might as well be co-headlining with Meshuggah
God damn that was a music video. it's been a while since I saw music videos like these where the band isn't just playing somewhere.
Just stumbled onto these while listening to Pighead. This is the most metal video I've seen and what a bop.
The vocalist sounds familiar, orange goblin comes to mind??
awesome animated Metal music video, the band should pay same team to release more . love the animation conclusion, perfect.
i just followed some breadcrumbs that led me here, and I'm not disappointed at all!!!!!
ЭТО ШАДЕВАР!!! Мало просмотров для такого качественного контента:с
Skinner sure knocked it out of the park with his animation on this one
We need more of this and less of everything else!
This is one of those rare statements that can never be disputed. Even in alternate realities this statement holds true.
Not really. The cancerous minions need to stay entertained lest they find their way to the purity that is High on Fire.
why is this pulled off of spotify this song is sooooo goddamned good
those drums are fuxking unstoppable
Rock On!!!! Great job guys!

When are these guys putting out a new CD
Legit one of the greatest hard rocking tunes I've ever heard. Big love. X

I’m gonna 😉🤘🏻🖤
When people talk to me and I just kinda stare off into the distance with a blank expression on my face.... this is what’s going on in my brain!!
This is the most epic music video ever made. It's like a much more violent Heavy Metal, and I am all for it.
I saw this band in summer 2015 at the FEQ, they played the second entry (I don't remember the first metal band before) Megadeth but High on Fire was so good I never heard of that band before that.
The Black Pot is the first song I've heard of HOF because they started the show with that song!
Right across the board High on Fire really bring it.
We deffinately need more music videos like this! Purely epic!
Search sabaton, Thank me later.
Ozzy Osbourne - Lemmy Kilmister Hellraiser has the same style
Had a black light poster like this. It came to life like this as well. With the help of some serious acid!
vocês são demais, im a brasilian and i like this band
The first song on my feed after this is Vivaldi 4 Seasons. That's how all over the place I am.
whoever mixed/mastered this needs a medal fuckin great
Love this song/video so much because it totally has a MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE feel to it!
⚡️🦂⚔️☠️⚔️🐉⚡️
these later adventure time episodes are a lil edgier than i remembered
I can't believe I'll be seeing these guys next November 2nd. I'm so freaking excited!!!! I hope they play this song. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I never thought of it before but HIgh On FIre is the perfect music for horror comics like Heavy Metal, Eerie, and Creepy Comics.
This is the perfect song it has that driving sounds like the video.
That is one of the trippiest music vids I've ever seen......It's Heavy Metal turned up to 11!!!
If anybody wonders about what it feels to be in this world - play "amid evil" while listening to this. The same colour pattern. The same dynamics. The same setting.
This band is just keep getting better with every song I discover 🤘
I wish more cartoon series were like this music video
I hereby nominate this for all-space-time greatest music video in the multiverse.
so emotional, i cried through out the entire length of it.
Skinner was involved with this, the guy who made Mastodon's Once More 'Round The Sun's album artwork. Not surprising, but cool to see regardless
The demon master is almsot the guy from once more around the sun

first time listener, I'm in love with this guys voice
AWESOMES
I can’t ever get enough of this song and to the person who made the video 🙏🏼✊🏼🤘🏼👾
Thank God this song helped me ignore some BS lesson on love.
I wasn't big on this song when it first came out. Now I can listen to it over and over it's so fucking metal.
I spent hours trying to find this video. I think it is shadow banned. Favoriting it now. Wow.
Holy shit how am I just now finding this??? Song fucking rocks! Music video fucking rocks! This is so fucking heavy! 36 years old and I haven't gotten pumped up by a heavy metal song like this in almost 10 years. Totally fucking epic!!!!!
I’m having this exact experience 3 years later.
Awesome!!!! Keep storytelling!
I would love to see a part two installment of this video holy moly. Gee whilickers, this video was the bee's knees.
Listened to this song a lot,finally bought the album and I love it
High on fire/Skinner is a sonic and visual blast!!!!
Can really hear how they influence(d) Mastodon. Awesome all around!
Here because of Toonami, the vid blew my mind.
This was on Toonami? Holy crap!
MrQuarantine same
also check out "fertile green". "toxic holocaust - acid fuzz" might be your kinda thing too...
FUCK! How did I miss it? It was on during Naruto wasn't it?
really on toonami? it was on toonami??? damn xD
True piece of Art. Thanks.
3:53 that scream, the guitar: it's fucking perfect lol. I laugh every time its so badass
C H same with 3:22
It would b cool to have matt pike, brent hinds, kirk weinstein and jimmy bower in a band together
Acid+this song= one epic time! 😎🤘
2018 even is still one of the best drum beats i have heard of you should have more subs
I hope this turned into a movie or show . Ive never seen a better looking squatch woman .
This video should be the trailer for a tabletop RPG called Dungeon Crawl Classics.
Hell yea man !!!
Skinner and Beautiful Jerk did such righteous fury in this video, and it's blowing my mind.
Marvelous. Like the with the Fertile Green clip they outdid themselves again. It just got it all.
That moment when you almost die and wake up later to see a monster looming right over you *closes eyes lays back down, plays dead*
Yeah I'm gonna need a comic book series, a full length feature film , a bunch of trashy novels and a D&D campaign that goes with this setting
I've been waiting to see this my entire life.
I wasn't even watch the video but came to say about the song! Now I am want to take them both for bride.
this song is an electric bomb. i love how it vaporizes my ears .... and the rest of my flesh.
when i watch this clip i strongly feel that my body is so small for me , this video makes me to expand beyond the borders of the universe.
Welp...looks like I've found a new favorite band. And I'm not much of a Metalhead. More into Punk Rock and Hardcore, but this is something else. Absolutely outstanding!
Same here I listen to the likes of black dahlia all the way to la bouche and this is intense
Five years later this is still my favorite music video.
Vocal is similar to Titus from Acid Drinkers! Amazing band from Poland
Piczonx15 agree, it's a good thing though !
Gotta give Skinner credit for this video. Same artist who designed the cover for Once More Round The Sun by Mastodon.
We all aspire to this level of might!
