High on Fire has released their newest single and video, “Cometh the Storm.” The song is the title track from their new album, which will be released next Friday, April 19th, by MNRK Heavy Records.
The six-minute track was composed by bassist Jeff Matz , who innovated in songwriting while playing his bass in the rehearsal room. “‘Cometh the Storm’ was built from a riff I started playing on bass in practice,” Matz said in a press release. “I was messing around with this melancholic minor harmonic line, just hammering out the notes with my left hand, when Matt yelled, ‘Are we recording this!?’”
High on Fire will be promoting the new album with a 12-date US tour launching early next month.
GRAMMY- winning group , celebrating their 25th anniversary, recorded Cometh the Storm at GodCity Studio in Salem, Massachusetts, with producer Kurt Ballou . The album features 11 songs, marking the band's ninth studio album, and also the first release from High on Fire since Electric Messiah in 2018, and the first to feature drummer Coady Willis ( Big Business, Murder City Devils ), alongside bassist Jeff Matz and guitarist/vocalist Matt Pike .
