Probably, cuz I don't find it tiresome at all-I like working out to it and getting high to it. Serves a lot of purposes.

high on fire is some get pumped up and punch dudes in the mouth and/or clean your bathroom music.

It's an "interesting if you're already into the band" kinda record. Pretty okay.

Legendary stoner rock band Sleep split in 1998 after two hugely influential albums and members went on to form underground heroes High On Fire and Om. They reform for two performances at ATP as a world exclusive that will never be repeated.They will perform the album Holy Mountain as well as selections from Dopesmoker and more.

I finally got a copy of Sleep's Holy Mountain. I guess a record store in New Orleans bought up all of the cassette copies of the album. My buddy picked one up on tour and when i told him that I'd never heard it he gave it to me, said he was going back to NOLA before the end of the year, anyway. He was really taken with the store, can't remember the name of the place now. They only charged three bucks for the cassette.

I'm sure they will kick much ass in this reunion.

Oakland, CA metal band HIGH ON FIRE has announced that it will be forced to miss this summer's Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival as front man and guitarist Matt Pike enters treatment for alcohol rehabilitation. The award winning power trio (also featuring drummer Des Kensel and bassist Jeff Matz) will put its scheduled touring plans on hold indefinitely as Pike takes the necessary steps towards regaining his health.
"High on Fire would like to thank everyone involved with the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival for the opportunity to be a part of this year's tour," said the band in a statement. "We regretfully will have to bow out as our friend and bandmate begins his recovery, but very much appreciate having been asked to be a part of this summer's festival run."

I don't think anyone with a soul could say "We'd like to thank everyone involved with the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival etc etc." out loud.

I love Sleep and OM rule but I've somehow managed to bypass High on Fire almost entirely. It is time to remedy this.

they are in my top 3 of live acts, easily. my ears don't agree, cos they are fucking LOUD
Yeah, they are easily the loudest band I've ever seen that wasn't making noise for volume's sake.

BBW would be all time classic for "Brother In The Wind" alone - not many bands can ruminate on mortality and the death of a friend while also pummeling your skull into dust.

Cor, Steps of the Ziggurat is immense. As with Sleep, you get the sense Pike is enjoying the shit out of the music.

I vote Sleep if it’s a choice between physical states.

I did not expect HoF to reach these height again, but a few listens in to Electric Messiah and I'm craving more more more. That hasn't happened since Snakes.
