High on Fire

Guitarist/vocalist Matt Pike, bass participant George Grain, and drummer Des Kensel shaped High on Open fire in 1999, following a collapse of Pike’s earlier band, doom metallic titans Rest. But while Rest had constructed their popularity on impossibly slothful music and copious weed usage, On top of Fire’s first launch, The Artwork of SELF-DEFENSE, displayed an even more intense though still fantasy-themed design of rock. Released to mildly enthusiastic evaluations, the album’s leads experienced label Man’s Wreck imminent personal bankruptcy, and it wasn’t until On top of Open fire got on grindcore powerhouse Relapse Information for his or her second recording, 2002’s devastating Encircled by Thieves, that their abundant guarantee was rewarded. Intensive touring and an ever-increasing group of fans adopted, in order that by enough time they unleashed their third launch, Blessed Dark Wings, in early 2005 (presenting fresh bassist Joe Preston [ex-Thrones and Melvins]), On top of Open fire had gained their place among the most broadly respected rock outfits on earth. Preston will be changed by Jeff Matz, who play on the 2007 launch, Death Is usually This Communion. This year 2010, On top of Open fire returned making use of their 5th studio recording, Snakes for the Divine, released on Koch. De Vermis Mysteriis, which means “The Mysteries from the Worm,” adopted in 2012. The next 12 months the stoner metallic masters released a set of live albums, Spitting Open fire Live, Vol. 1 and Spitting Open fire Live, Vol. 2, capturing two skull-crushing shows in NEW YORK having a two-album arranged. When re-entering the studio room, the trio re-teamed with maker Kurt Ballou, who helmed De Vermis Mysteriis. On top of Fire’s seventh studio room full-length, Luminiferous, was released in 2015; it presented the band’s audio at its most elemental and stripped down.
