"Double-live album" is almost a punchline in rock music. In many cases, it's regarded as an overindulgent money grab on fans, primarily designed to burn off one album from a contractual obligation to a record company. However, the bombast that is packed into a double-live album has yielded some of the most beloved live albums in rock (see KISS's Alive!, Deep Purple's Made in Japan, Iron Maiden's Live After Death, and more recently, Wilco's Kicking Television). In an interview with Exclaim...

On Spitting Fire Live, Vol. 2, the second installment of their two-album live extravaganza, High on Fire dive headfirst into the stoner end of the pool with a collection of sludgy and psychedelic metal excursions from their two-night run in New York City. Primarily recorded at the Music Hall of Williamsburg, with "Blood from Zion" and "Snakes for the Divine" coming from the previous night's set at the Bowery Ballroom, the album replaces the first volume's unstoppable stampede of riffs with a...

Simple fact: You should see High on Fire live. Since guitarist, vocalist, and leader Matt Pike got sober, the Oakland trio's sounded especially alive and committed to the spirit of metal. People often use descriptors like "crushing mountains" and "moving planets" to describe High on Fire, and while they don't do that literally-- metal might be dangerous again if they had such powers-- their lust for volume will take care of any internal struggles...

Two-volume set is the first official live release from doom/stoner metal heavyweights High On Fire. The record was recorded at a pair of performances that took place in late 2012, at NYC's Bowery Ballroom and Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg; does an admirable job capturing some of the sodden, smoky tones and wild, wretched energy the band wield in a live setting. There's ugliness to the recording, a hissing messiness that enhances the sound rather than obscures it...

While strains of ultra-slow metal and hardcore had been successfully cross-pollinated by My War-era Black Flag, The Melvins and (to a lesser degree) Flipper during the 80s, when Oakland, California trio High On Fire arrived in the late 90s, they scattered their DNA all over the sludgecore genre. Initially released on the long-defunct Man's Ruin imprint in 2000, their debut LP The Art Of Self Defense remains one of the yardsticks all self-respecting sludge contenders should aspire to...

Minus that whole rehab thing, Matt Pike has had a pretty good year. His old band Sleep put out an awesome proper release for the single-song full-length Dopesmoker. De Vermis Mysteriis is the best High on Fire record yet. On top of all that, HoF also reissued their first album, The Art of Self Defense, on Southern Lord. Or, they re-reissued it...

Luckily for High on Fire fans, the reissue of the often out-of-print Oakland, CA trio's 2000 debut album is now readily available and strangely, while remixed and remastered, retains the original razor-blunted sharpness - this is not a negative aspect, by any means. Much of this has to do with then-bassist George Rice's signature, fuzzed-out, grainy bottom end and vintage-sounding amps, especially on opener "Baghdad...

It has been twelve years since The Art Of Self Defence, the debut offering from Matt Pike's High On Fire, and it still remains the blueprint for 21st century stoner doom. Much like his previous work with Sleep, the record is dominated by Pike's monumental riffing: huge slabs of fuzzed-out guitars carving a groove the size of California that don't so much draw you in as throw you...

It always feels like a new album from should be heralded by battle drums, natural cataclysms or a stirring of ancient deities. While many metal acts lose their edge as the years take their toll, it seems theirs has never been keener. Much of the responsibility for this rests on the shoulders of rock'n'roll lifer , who, despite being a rather cheerful, unassuming fella sounds like he's had to weather frost, fire and the grasping claws of giant scorpions on the way to the recording studio...
