We’ve known for a little while that there’s a new High On Fire album, Luminiferous, coming out in June. Now we know what track listing is, and if that wasn’t enough, the band have just announced a tour in support of the album that will start about a month after the album is released. It’s definitely going to be a sludgy, doomy tour, as Pallbearer will be direct support, and Lucifer and Venomous Maximus will be along for the ride as well. The band will be in the middle of a two week tour in support of the nine-track album when it’s released.
In addition, to announcing the tour, the band have also unveiled a new track at Rolling Stone. “The Black Plot,” which leads off the album, grabs you from note one. It’s fast, furious and actually has a chorus. Pike tells the magazine it’s “about aliens abducting people and manipulating our past, present and future. It’s about the top of the pyramid, so to speak. And it’s also about alien hybrids, and how we’ve been immersed amongst this culture of E.T.s for thousands of years, and how no one has woken up to it until recently.”
Here’s the track listing of Luminiferous:
1.) The Black Plot
2.) Carcosa
3.) The Sunless Years
4.) Slave the Hive
5.) The Falconist
6.) Dark Side of the Compass
7.) The Cave
8.) Luminiferous
9.) The Lethal Chamber
