High on Fire have announced their new album, Cometh the Storm, scheduled to arrive on April 19 via MNRK Heavy. Recorded at GodCity Studio with producer Kurt Ballou, this marks the band’s ninth studio album and their first new music since 2018’s Electric Messiah. To celebrate the announcement, the group has shared a Lars Kristoffer Hormander-directed video for the album’s first single, “Burning Down.”
Bassist Jeff Matz comments:
“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.”
