High on Fire have announced their anticipated new album, their first since 2018’s Electric Messiah. Cometh the Storm is due out on April 19 via MNRK Heavy. It was co-produced by Converge’s Kurt Ballou, and is their first album to feature Coady Willis on drums. See the cover art and tracklist below.
We have an exclusive sky blue and spring green 180g vinyl variant of Cometh the Storm, limited to 300 copies. See a mock-up below, and pre-order yours HERE while they last.
The first single is “Burning Down,” which is accompanied by a video directed by Lars Kristoffer Hormander, which you can watch below. “‘Burning Down’ kicks off with a classic Pike riff,” bassist Jeff Matz says. “I think this song harkens back to the early High On Fire sound, but infused with fresh, new elements. It has a killer groove that you can really sink into. The body of the song took shape in our PNW rehearsal space, and we came up with the bridge/solo section and finalized the arrangement while we were at GodCity. Kurt Ballou’s input as a producer was also hugely helpful. His keen ears and fresh perspective were invaluable in making this album.”
