one of my best memories was being able to see them live when i was in the midst of my headbanging phase as a teenager, i think it was 2007 or 2008 in montreal. i remember rolling a joint in one hand while getting bumped around the edge of the pit, and being so proud of my accomplishment only to have a puff before it disappeared during the brief respite from the chaos that we allowed ourselves between songs
I love it. im 50 and was way into punk rock and never heard of high on fire. i dont know how that stuff happens. same gos for sleep. i knew they existed on the metal side of the music i love but there was always enough on the punk side to keep me entertained. not sure how i ran across sleep, yet one more time, but this time i listened. honestly, at first, i sped up jeruselum because i didnt get it. then i got it. then i couldnt stop listening. then matts guitar work became cler as the highlight. thats how i found high on fire. i stay in my music box too much. this is pure gold, though. i cant get enough of matts guitars and his vocals are siiiiick.

I remember buying "Surrounded by Thieves" in the early 2000s when it first came out. I'd never heard of the band at the time, or "The Art of Self-Defense". I was in a record store and the guy working there said I'd like to hear this CD as he knew I liked metal. So I agreed and the first two songs on "Surrounded by Thieves" blew my mind. I was floored. I'll never forget that moment: everything that I'd cherished about heavy, evil-sounding (but ultimately in the service of something actually good) music had been fulfilled in those moments. Every damn thing I liked about that kind of music rang through when I listened to the CD: they were everything good about Sabbath, Motorhead, Maiden, Celtic Frost, Black Flag, Slayer, Discharge, Melvins, Jesus Lizard, etc and I could hear echoes of those great bands in their music. I'll say though that they didn't just copy them but rather took all those elements and made something all their own. Also, HOF is one of the few bands who have had a very long career yet have never made an album that sucked. I am loving these new songs!
Heck yeah! I'm 45 now and still listen to metal as loud as I can. My parents listened to rock but not metal but they were big Sabbath fans. I remember as a kid the first time I heard Sabbath, I was like WTF is that!?!? I don't know how but this HOF is kinda new to me. I have forever found my new calling! HOF for life!
@@slipspectrum9253 I was lucky enough to see Dale and Coady play together during that era of the Melvins in a little dive bar in Tacoma. Was truly amazing.
From the start my eyes were bulging out of my head because I couldn't wrap my brain around what I was hearing. That weird synth effect riff that Jeff is playing... Such a different sound for them. Then they drop down into that heavy chorus riff and my eyes just flooded with tears of joy! SO GOOD!!! Cometh the Gods of Metal!🤘🤘🤘
I love this band. Matt sounds like a cross between Lemmy and a Dalek. I cant always work out what he's on about but the sum is greater than its many artistic parts. We need more of this.
funny it took him getting in HOF for people to notice this. he's been on on the road being one if the best for many years, I've seen him live 7 or 8 times and I haven't seen him live in about 4 years
Bro could keep up with Dale Crover when they did the Melvins supergroup thing several years back. Des left some big shoes to fill. But goddamn I don't think they could have chosen a more suitable drummer. Been super hyped about this album. Pike (and Jeff) never disappoint! The entire HoF discog fucking murders.
OMFG this is fucking perfect. High on Fire are the best kept secret in all of modern metal. Possibly the best song they've ever written, I'll be listening to this one all week.
@@animal1439 Yeah no shlt. You're basing HOF popularity solely on Spotify listeners? Just a guess but I doubt most of HOF's fanbase listens to music through something like Spotify. I never use it myself... High on Fire have been killing it since the early 2000's. Maybe you've just discovered them, but believe me they're no "secret."
I’ve listened to this a ton of times already and this has to be one of Matt Pike’s top 5 best solos, and I think it’ll only grown on me as the years go on
This is the most amazing song of the year for me. I mean I thought I was looking forward to my other favorite bands new releases like Aborted, Ingested, Dying Fetus, but none of it hit me nearly as hard as High on Fire's new stuff, especially this song. You guys are amazing, I was the only person in my school that even heard of you guys when I first discovered y'all while I was in middle school, and I have been a huge fan ever since. I'd honestly say I'm getting some Blessed Black Wings vibes from this album so far, of course with a modern and beautifully executed twist \m/
These men are visionaries. The track is soul crushing by itself, and the visuals take it to another level, It's glorious and unbelievably original and honest. Stick to your guns, friends, let the world catch on.. NO KINGS HERE !
Man.....my heart just jumped out of my chest and I had to take a $#!+ right when i heard this!!!! It's like dinosaur balls chasing you through a narrow hallway.
This entire album visualy, musically, vibe vise just unmatched. When I let this record roll, it is a special day and I suck in every note that was etched in the universe at the Luisiana swamps 22 years ago in the Nodferatus Lair. Unrepeatable, unmatched. #1 Album of all times.
Great band with potential and the vocalist showing the chaos in her sensational voice. Great band, I really liked it. Shout out from Brazil!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👊👊👊👊
What's better than a new High on Fire video? A new High on Fire video directed by Phil Mucci ! Holy fucking shit that was cool !! Amazing work once again, by DIABOLIK.
Early HOF energy. Low and slow. Knee deep in sludge
I was just thinking this reminds me of The Art of Self-Defense. Loving the doomier, heavy tone.
Yeah boii
Jeff with the double neck covering the tapping part was an unknown necessity oh man this is amazing
Yeah. ..the whole arrangement is killer with the double-neck component.
"an unknown necessity"🖤 nice🤘
Love the final image, the stone circle speaker cabinets
They all are amazing!
@@RoodiniCatsyou mean, Tonehenge?
Microtonal neck setup too. King Gizzard type shit
Those drums have Big Business all over them. 🔥🔥🔥
He has such a distinctive style doesn't he? Such a great fit for HoF.
Saw BB open for Melvins, totally took the show
One of my favorite drummers!!
Those drums scream neurosis to me!
Vagabond of the Western World,Thin Lizzy drums , same pattern and I love it
I still can’t believe we live in a world where High on Fire is a real thing. Been listening to this band for 25 years now. All call to war!!!!!

Still going strong! And dropping one of the most relevant video in years. A Mother’s rage! Bloodthirsty Crusader

@@MR-su9ky i love this story.
Perfect way to start the day:
A smoke, a coffee, and new HIGH ON FIRE! NO KINGS HERE!
More like 3 kings here \m/
Perfect way to end long day of work:
A smoke, a tea, and new High on Fire!
What kind of tea ?@@arthur9924
Literally same here 5 days later . Coffee , smoke , and High on Fire .
Sounds like the breakfast of champions bro. Keep it up.
HOLY FUUUUUUUUCK. I'm gonna say it. This is the best song they've ever written
Was thinking the same, might be a bit of an exaggeration in the excitement of the moment but fuck me is it damn good!
This is heavy metal
I do agree, incredible song and the clip is fantastic too!
I think you’re right…my favorite of all
Legitimately one of their best songs, and they have a lot of incredible songs. Fucking crushes
Archaeologists have discovered that Stone Henge is, in fact, the oldest speaker stack in the world!
Played by Matt Pike's druid ancestor
That's a really nice analogy. 😊❤🖖✌️
Ancient mosh pits were in the center.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Everyone needs to thank this man for giving the shirt of his back to save metal!
Always encouraging to see dudes my age still gettin' it done and doin' it right.
The bassist is a beast!!! High On Fire are masters of their craft.

On that Surrounded by Thieves tour played a tiny bar in Denver, HOF was supposed to open for Zeke who was a no show. It was a badass show.
@@DMONEY7720 that sounds incredible, I'd love to have seen HoF on that tour
Heck yeah! I'm 45 now and still listen to metal as loud as I can. My parents listened to rock but not metal but they were big Sabbath fans.

Oh yeah, on the Melvins, been jamming them for years! I saw the Melvins open for Tool back in the day! It was AWESOME!
I never believed that any drummer could fill Des Kensel's shoes but Coady Willis has proved me wrong,he is such a great drummer.
He isn't the heavy beast as is Des, however he is heavy in his own approach for sure.Glad HOF brought in a good "fill".
Melvins drummer ♥
@@SpectrumRobOn one of my favorite Melvin albums too!
@@w.aw.a9258 Funny thing is the bass player looks like Jeff Pinkus and some of the lead guitar sounds like Paul Leary 🤔
Same, and he's probably only one I would have suggested if it were put to me.
Jeff and Coady are an absolutely punishing rhythm section.
Id like to hear what they would sound like if you throw the other half of big biz in there. High on fire with 2 basses
@@elchewbacco fuck it might aswell just put Buzz and Dale in there from Melvins and have two of everything
@@shillian4770 bruh
Who needs a Pantera reunion when we have this stuff
There is no pantera reunion, there is no pantera
Yuuuuuuuuuuuup
Me lol
GodDAMN... based on these two tracks, this album is going to be absolutely killer.
Fuckin' A.....
It was released already, the Only way to make it more killer is that ted bundy listens to it
No kings here!!!
Cometh the storm!!!!
Coady Willis uses a minimalist setup to maximum effect. One of the most underated drummers in metal and a BEAST
Him and Dale Crover combined is probably banned in some places at this point!
@@slipspectrum9253 I was lucky enough to see Dale and Coady play together during that era of the Melvins in a little dive bar in Tacoma. Was truly amazing.

And the roomy vocals 😮
I don't understand why this doesn't have millions of views, it's so beautiful. I had goosebumps during the solo
i understand. matts my favorite guitar player. his bends are multidimensional.
It's better that way
My neighbors love High on Fire 🔥
This is ridiculously good
My youngest son just said “this guy screams like their little league umpire calling “strike three” “😂
Matt Pike side gig confirmed. lol
Good for you man! Get the kids into the good stuff
I'll argue that you're feeding yourself way too much into this calm!! the fuk down@TomJoneshkk-gv5zw
Nobody cares what you think
I love this band. Matt sounds like a cross between Lemmy and a Dalek. I cant always work out what he's on about but the sum is greater than its many artistic parts. We need more of this.
It would appear that High on Fire still have a lot to say, in every way. This is incredible.
HIGH ON FIRE NEVER FAILS!
Coady really earned his place among the greatest metal drummers ever with this album
funny it took him getting in HOF for people to notice this. he's been on on the road being one if the best for many years, I've seen him live 7 or 8 times and I haven't seen him live in about 4 years

ONE MORE DAY! LET'S GOOOO!
The Grammy for Electric Messiah was like giving Denzel the Oscar for Training Day. Glad to hear these guys are fucking BACK!
I like this.
Now that's how I like to start the day.. having my face melted off by a new HoF video ..
Flaming cymbals, straight MCD. 🤘
It’s awesome how different the singles are from say, Luminiferous
An entirely different vibe and I love it
This might just be the most bad ass banger of a video this century 🔥 🔥 🤘🤘
OMFG this is fucking perfect. High on Fire are the best kept secret in all of modern metal. Possibly the best song they've ever written, I'll be listening to this one all week.
secret? they won a Grammy for electric messiah.
@@Father_Tyme yet they only have 170,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, compared to other big/legacy bands in the scene High on Fire are a hidden gem

This song is heavy as hell.
Как и везде идёт борьба...надо бороться!
One of the coolest songs I've heard in a long time. Goddamn there is some good music coming out this year.
This drummer kicks ass!!!
Ahhh, High on Fire: Better than coffee.
High on Fire WITH coffee?
Better.
Better than Sleep, too.
HOF, coffee, weed and a Marlboro.... Manly bliss
There is a real sense of fury to this new stuff. The production is raw and aggressive and the vocals are demented.
Matt is unstoppable 🤘
THIS IS SO HEAVY!!! It's like listening to the void itself crashing into the light!
album of the year
Don't care what anyone says. This song is awesome.
Awesome video, just had to watch it again. I love that you can tell it is a Phil Mucci video before you know it is a Phil Mucci video!
Wow, mindblowing album of the year!
One of the best band in the World
Shirt off. That's a Pike classic. Love this track!
MATT DEZ AND JOE FUCKING UP MY CAM SKILLZ HAAA.... MATT WITH A TSHIRT ON WHATTTTTT~~~ ua-cam.com/video/fXzf16hhXaQ/v-deo.html
I'm totally on board, for years now, decades, centuries...from Germany with love
If Matt Pike isnt shirtless,i can't listen or watch High on Fire. What a legend.
Kinda gay bro
Goddam heavy masterpiece.
This could be the best song I ever heard. Let's listen again!
I’ve listened to this a ton of times already and this has to be one of Matt Pike’s top 5 best solos, and I think it’ll only grown on me as the years go on
This is a whole new level for him. Fun fact I live a couple blocks away from Matt in Portland.🎉

Tenth time watching the video in a row baby heavy
First listen: decent, maybe it’ll grow
10th listen: holy fuck
Agreed. Reveals more layers with every listen. This is good friggin stuff.
It just gets better. No kings here!! 🤘
Discovered just before bedtime. 2 listens and blown away.
Gonna be great with coffee and smokes in morning on real speakers 🔊
Anything that sounds like a banshee howling is a plus for me. This is FDA approved.
This is massive
For the last 20 years there was nothing really new to Metal, reverse reverse, same riffs and so on! This is GENIUS! THX a lot!
bold statement hehe
High on fire comes out swinging with every album! Can't wait to give the whole album a spin
Lets GO!!!!!! High on Fire has to come to Wisconsin or Illinois!!!
I'm seeing them just outside of Chicago in Muenster Indiana may 18th
Wisconsin would be great. I hate driving to chicago.
High noon Saloon.
@@brianschlegel9875 yeah i was going to see them at DarkLord days but i have tickets for Clutch already in Belvidere IL
@@MrBluman999 I live near Rockford and parking and traffic suck in Chicago
Favorite track on the new joint, reminds me of Bastard Samurai. Also digging the Entombed tuning!
I can't get over how sick this video is! Fit's the song so well!
My fav high on fire ever. Wow amazing. And those drums
This is a fuckin masterpiece
Phil Mucci never fails to provide an over the top video production !! So incredible to be paired with High on Fire !!
These men are visionaries. The track is soul crushing by itself, and the visuals take it to another level, It's glorious and unbelievably original and honest. Stick to your guns, friends, let the world catch on.. NO KINGS HERE !
After all this time Matt’s vocals are still so brutal. F[]cking A
Man.....my heart just jumped out of my chest and I had to take a $#!+ right when i heard this!!!!
It's like dinosaur balls chasing you through a narrow hallway.
All hail the Riff
This is good stuff
No fools left, cometh the storm
All is lost in this war
No fools left, punish the sworn
Holy toledoI haven't heard y'all since I was in college (00s). Glad to see this in my reqs!
Sounds awesome a heavier version of Mastodon.Plus another cool music video from Phil and Diabolik.
Makes sense considering HoF inspired Mastodon lol
Mastodon originally met at a HoF concert
Awesome!
This is fing amazing
Somehow I keep forgetting how incredible this band is and then every time they drop a new single I get reminded.
High on fire reclaiming whats rightfully theirs. They are out for blood and riffs
Rowdy Piper! THEY LIVE
this rules, glad they still have the fury and gravity and precision as strong as ever

Sounds like old mastodon! A collaboration with the 2 would be amazing.
That's amazing, sounds like Ahab and Neurosis had a baby. Matt Pike looks fucking badass.
This song just laid waste to anything new by anyone else!
Rock & Roll.
Smoke a bowl.
Love it!!!!
This album is an absolute masterpiece, I fkn love you guys! ❤❤❤🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🤘🤘🤘
Heavy af track. Even by High on Fire standards. I feel like they're getting more serious sounding too.
Great band with potential and the vocalist showing the chaos in her sensational voice. Great band, I really liked it. Shout out from Brazil!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👊👊👊👊
Greatest High on Fire track ever...
This song goes hard.
What's better than a new High on Fire video? A new High on Fire video directed by Phil Mucci ! Holy fucking shit that was cool !! Amazing work once again, by DIABOLIK.
Super-powerful song 🔥
Unbelievable... God bless High on Fire.
