"High On Fire" Recording New Album

Oakland-based metal outfit should be rolling out some new bangers sometime next year, as they're currently holed up in a recording studio tracking a follow-up. According to a press release, High On Fire has entered Salem, Massachusetts' GodCity Studios with producer and Converge guitarist Kurt Ballou to begin tracking its as-yet-untitled new album. Tentative songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Serums of Liao", "Madness Of An Architect", "De Vermis Mysteriis", "Spiritual Rites" and "Warhorn". "We are really stoked about recording this album," said bassist Jeff Matz. "The new songs are turning out absolutely punishing; there are some seriously sledgehammer riffs on this one! Working with Kurt has been awesome as well. He's super easy to work with and is full of good ideas. The sounds that the guy gets are ridiculous and raw as fuck but also clear and HUGE. I think this album will capture the essence of the band really well. It's still early in the process, but so far it's sounding amazing." A release date is still to be determined, but the as-yet-untitled affair is said to be "direct, eye-opening and powerfully supernatural."
