iTunes Review
Death Is This Communion unveils new bass player Jeff Matz of Zeke and producer Jack Endino who has worked with Nirvana, Soundgarden, Mudhoney and Tad — but High On Fire’s fourth studio album hardly echoes grungy vestiges of the Pacific Northwest’s heyday. From the first few weighty bars of the opening “Fury Whip” you can still hear subtle remnants of frontman/guitarist Matt Pike’s riff-bending prowess that many a hessian fell for on his former band Sleep’s 1993 opus Holy Mountain. And as soon as he starts growling like the bastard son of Motörhead’s Lemmy Kilmister over more dynamic arrangements, it’s evident that this album marks an evolution in sound for High On Fire. It all becomes much clearer on “Waste of Tiamat” as high-strung acoustic guitars open to sound like medieval lutes before the riffs drop like anvils and a bludgeoning drum solo opens the gates of Pike’s Hell. “Khanrad’s Wall” is an instrumental that experiments with tambour and 12-string acoustic to approximate a cross between the Middle East and Middle Earth.
Customer Reviews
Dude! Look at the cover art! It sounds exactly like the way it looks
Love it!!!!!!
The Heaviest Album EVER!!!!
An amazing release by Matt Pike and Company. The riffs cut into your soul like shards of broken glass. Dez Kensel's relentless drumming attack is like being pummeled by 10,000 anvils, and the new edition of ex-ZEKE bassist Jeff Matz will send this trio into uncharted territory. HIGH ON FIRE are the new KINGS OF METAL. nuff said!
hmmmm.....
The songs are definitely there but the production... I gotta say I like Steve Albini's production on Blessed Black Wings better. I know, I know it was a little messy but that album just explodes out of the speakers. On Their latest, the drums are much further back in the mix, the bass is much more up front as are the vocals but the guitars don't seem to have the same roaring jagged menace as on BBW. I don't know, I'm not an engineer so I can't put my finger on it. That being said they are still way at the top of the metal heap. Go see them live, you will be transformed. If there ever was a Demon Lord of Metal, Matt Pike is Him.
