Having just crushed it on a mini-tour (watch a full set here), High on Fire are back in writing mode again!
According to the press release, they are splitting their time between New Orleans, LA and Oakland, CA so they're getting some nasty sounds, I would imagine. The PR features some quotes from the band, including frontman Matt Pike describing the sound of the new material:
"Des, Jeff and I are really getting creative and writing a hell of a new record," states Pike. "It's a crazy project and I can't really explain what it's all about just yet, but we've been writing a lot of crazy intense material that will up the ante, and bring things to another level."
Meanwhile, drummer Des Kensel provides the most accurate description of what High on Fire sound like:
"Chew on some mescaline and listen to side B of Sabbath's "Master of Reality" backwards at 78 RPM and it might give you an idea."
BRB, need to find mesc.
The new album is expected Winter 2015 (I assume early winter, like January/February).
