HIGH ON FIRE has completed work on its new, untitled ninth studio album and successor to 2018's Electric Messiah. Recorded in Salem, Massachusetts with longtime producer Kurt Ballou, the new album is the first to feature drummer Willis, who joined HIGH ON FIRE in 2021. An early 2024 release date is expected via MNRK Heavy.
Universally recognized as one of the most potent acts in music today, HIGH ON FIRE creates dynamic metal that merges primal fury and aggression, hesher bombast and hall of fame heaviness. Described as "a supersonic exercise in conquest by volume", HIGH ON FIRE has rewritten the hard rock rule book since its formation in 1998, forging a style and sound that is both critically celebrated and unique. The group features vocalist and cult guitar hero Matt Pike (also a founding member of the famed underground band SLEEP) singular bassist Jeff Matz, and powerhouse drummer Coady Willis. HIGH ON FIRE's most recent studio album, Electric Messiah, was released on October 9, 2018, and won a GRAMMY for Best Metal Performance, placing HIGH ON FIRE among the ranks of groups such as BLACK SABBATH, MOTORHEAD, and METALLICA as winners of the prestigious award, presented by The Recording Academy to recognize achievements in the music industry.
