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 think I'd drink myself into a coma if I realized I was supposed to play at that

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.
