[diggazify]

Aaah i watched the Video 'Ding' by 'Seeed' and this Video came in related Videos..i clicked and got a cardiac infarction by listening to something like deathmetal!

[Suggravitsa]

*Grabs the Frost Hammer*

*Starts looking for 6 people*

HAIL.

[oWhoadYo]

4:47 for the greatest solo of all time

[riff88m]

one of the best metal song of all time !

[creepybutter]

Am I The only one who thinks this song will go really well with Skyrim when it comes out?

[RnW93]

@creepybutter Most of High On Fire's Discography will go hand-in-hand with it, Especially this and Blessed black wings.

d(:

[caceteirooooo]

The beggining of the music almost sounds like (i don't remember the name of the music so...) Slayer!

[AManOnACamel]

Why can't I ever seem to turn this up loud enough!?!

[Videostar1another1fa]

This is metal at the power of metal,it is so metal that it is more metal than metal!

[Whooligan86]

@Videostar1another1fa Very true.... It's Metal's Metal.

[syeddawdye747]

This song was epic with amazing riffs, but guys why are ya bringing up Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, they have nothing to do with this song.

[Glamdring81]

@syeddawdye747 todays metal would never have been possible without Sabbath and to some extent, led zep

[sccgproductions]

I just saw em about a week ago they were kick ass

[Slayallica84]

love getting druk tooo these dudez

[metalhead158622]

Zeppelin was a good band and Black Sabbath in one of the all time great metal bands, and this band = amazing

[bkid96]

Zeppelin might be folk artist rip offs but they are still better than this new wana be sabbath shit

[brianz1214]

Led Zeppelin were a bunch of folk artist rip offs sabbath is still cool

[MrBruskee]

@brianz1214 your an idiot.

[jokelab]

Led Zeppelin licks Matt Pike's balls.

[syeddawdye747]

@jokelab on the contrary u lik Matt Pike's balls... this was an awesome song with amazing riffs. but im afraid theyll have to work harder to get the recognition that Led Zeppelin got, so s.t.f.u u noob and think be4 commenting like that.

[cavs608]

@syeddawdye747 in a way mat has recognition that zeppelin has in the stoner rock scene.mat and josh homme are both gods in the stoner rock so ur wrong but right at the same time

[40mbe]

hahahahahahahah xD talk about off-topic

[HateSince88]

Led Zeppelin???

[FloridaBoyNick]

sorry but this music just sucks.. compared to Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, etc, these new bands just don't even come close to being as good

[oWhoadYo]

@FloridaBoyNick ...Fuck you. Sabbath IS the greatest band of all time, but high on fire is one of the bands that is still REAL metal today

[CheeseAssassin666]

sounds like hes saying osama!

[Crocadum]

Frost Hammered: When one is baked off his ass with an Ice Bong. ;D

[gottahavethatPMA]

frost hammered. that's what it should be. in fact, today is saturday and i'm going to see some local metal, i'm about to get frost hammered soon.

[jspvenom]

This comment shall randomly get many likes. For the metal.

[Panasper]

@jspvenom nope. try again, motherfucker.

[pooplifez]

they opened with this at club hell in providence last night shit fuckin ruled

[mandm8877]

WHATTT! OH SHIT! THIS IS FUCKING INSANE!

[gunhaver1000]

It pisses me off that when people think of metal nowadays, they think of emo kids crying in their skinny jeans while listening to the devil wears prada. It should be brutal shit like this, about vikings and legends and hardcore shit, not "OOOOH MY GIRLFRIEND DUMPED ME SO I WILL ETERNALLY CRY IN MY ROOM IN THE CORNER, OH WAIT, I DO THAT ANYWAY!"

[Panasper]

@gunhaver1000 lol anyone who confuses metal and emo pansies is too much of a tool to listen to metal anyway. fuck them.

[slick705]

the entry for "badass" in the dictionary should just be a giant picture of Matt Pike

[1983prodigy]

I actually started listening to heavy metal right after i heard this album, and i hated heavy shit since 90th ironmaden

[soloman81]

Great stuff. People always mention motorhead when talking about this band. This song gives me a strong slayer vibe too actually.

[40mbe]

Dream being thrown down aloft between the icy sky!!!!!!!! He fucking ownz!

[jazbaLORD]

brutal peace

[Nunslaughter1974]

cometh down hessian into the dark shitpainted miyaouwmetal faces and empty heads!!!!!!

[Infuzor]

4:38... so legendary... god damnit, only Matt Pike can make something so cheesy sound so fucking good and manly. respects.

[THECHRISTGRINDER666]

best stoner metal band, to date \m/

[Katzenkaiser]

Matt Pike is Riffgodzilla!!!

>:)

[rozitomi96]

HIGH ON FIRE FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lavashield]

FROST HAMMAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

[TheFrostySax89]

@Lavashield I also recommend the song "Bastard Samurai" and there is a lyric that goes "sonnuvabitch should bleed a WHILLLEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!" you gotta look that one up or another one "How Dark We Pray" and there is a yelling lyric that makes you want to rip stuff off of walls.

[ChalkdustTorture92]

4:37 ...Best part of ANY song EVER.

[shyven]

Just discovered High on FIre today. I'm so in love!!!.....

[stabymcstab5]

Vikings, fuck yeah!

[yootoobdotcom]

celtic hell

[human666hater]

everything ive heard off this disc so far has been top notch.

[BiohazardXKR]

I will name my son frost hammer

[goatambush]

@BiohazardXKR is that gonna be his whole first name or will his first name be frost and middle name be hammer?

[abm070]

@BiohazardXKR Actually Frost as a first name would be ok, and hammer could be the middle name, like seriously

[nonicknamekid2010]

@abm070 Frost would be a faggy name, sounds like some twilight shit

[notenoughspac]

@nonicknamekid2010 lols my gf's last name is frost, and she is starting a black metal band, im like JIZZ ALL OVER

[IHateBrokencyde]

@notenoughspac brutal. i wish i knew chicks that liked metal... actually i wish i knew more than one person that likes metal...

[SargeantDeath99]

@IHateBrokencyde i like metal :)

[TheKirkDowner]

sweet

[gunzet]

Love the sound of Pikes voice in this song, unique and badass.

[iDrum37]

definately best album of 2010 so far

[irnman1120]

sounds a little like devil drivers vocalist

[MrPirate93]

@irnman1120 Sounds a little like the devil himself!

[danthman44444]

love the bass drum

[rosettastoned451]

FROST HAMMER!!! FROST HAMMER!!!!

[azzz555]

I really like bands like Yo La Tengo, Fiery Furnaces, Eels, but i also like High On Fire! It's always music.

Snakes For the Devine is a great record!

[nonicknamekid2010]

@azzz555 FUCK YOU HIPSTER KEEP YOUR INDIE CRAP OUT OF METAL IF YOU MUST RUIN A METAL BAND GO WITH BARONESS YOU ALREADY HAVE A GOOD START!

[VectorHeroe]

@nonicknamekid2010 Thank you for spreading hate and showing us your true colors.

[Vincent4Life90]

This album, and High On Fire in general, is one of the pure definitions of HEAVY FUCKING METAL!! I don't get how people didn't like them when they played in Sydney last year.

[lukyganesh]

'frost hammer' should be a brand of malt liquor

[Wazza12111]

@lukyganesh indeed

[metalhead321]

@lukyganesh i would drink that shit everyday brotha haha

[laneb100]

this song is ripping my face off

[sumvlac]

That solo phreakin kills people and destroys buildings. Ouch.

[iDrum37]

i just painted my room white if ya know what i mean :D

amazing song, men!

[jocifer666]

I saw the Pike last night in Santa Cruz,ca,and all i can say is FUCKING EPIC!!!!!!! Yes SLEEP is back...

[beersoffire]

@jocifer666 ha 'The Pike' awesome

[Anthrax1331]

fuckin sweet!

[StrappingYoungLawd]

Sounds a little like dez from devildriver there in the beginning...a little, dont go off on a bitch rant on me

[kwuzzyforman]

@StrappingYoungLawd i actually agree, iv said the same thing before.

[lillambdevil666]

did anyone listen to 'rust never sleeps' by kalmah?

the intro sounds exactly like it.except rust never sleeps is faster.

[RiseoftheTyrant666]

this song is fucking unreal. My face is melting and black blood is all over the floor.FUCK YEA HIGH ON FIRE IS METAL!!!

[ketc714]

i miss sleep but i hear theyre getting back together this fall

[allnickstaken]

yea they are on metallica show in croatia

[Utubepirate]

haha happy fukin birthday me! it came out on my birthday! that's badass

[TheKt421]

sounds kind of like metallica, but most high on fire does

[MiAmMiJah]

@TheKt421

Yep, it does.... If the only metal you listen to is Metallica! :-s

Try Celtic Frost!

And Metallica these days can only wish to be as real and brutal as HOF!

They take them on tour for credibility-purpose only...

Metallica=posers!

[slcoldstone]

@MiAmMiJah agreed, all metal sounds the same to the clueless, if youve only ever heard two metal bands, what the fuck have you got to compare to when you hear more metal other than those two bands...!?

[MrHorrorman00]

@MiAmMiJah Metallica=posers! - you're talking rubbish!!!

[redlightalienraper65]

high on fire is coming to my city next month! fuck yes!

[Abom6k]

This is bad ass

[notenoughspac]

when i started listening to high on fire, my first song was rumors of war. it was my favorite and then i listened to blessed black wings and loved it but i realized im happy i started late cuz i probably wouldnt have liked the art of self deffence and surrounded by theives because of the quality, it just sounded like black metal stuff (not the vocals or the SOUND) but more the quality of the pitch and everything

[pooplifez]

@notenoughspac you suck

[glasday]

sometimes sounds pretty trash..

lovely..

[Unas1]

New album is fucking brutal! \m/

[thebirchmanste]

yea lets see u do better muppet.matt pike is god!!!!end of story.

[what567]

Matt has been using the same chord progressions and melodies for 3 albums in a row. This isn't musically innovative unless you count "gimmicky shit".

[TheElectricReligion]

highly untrue. Listen to some of the middle eastern inspired riffs on Death is this communion. This album draws on more thrashy roots as well. Keep in mind that all music is subjective to unoriginality bc of the inability to create new things. Matt Pike and HOF stick out as modern metal's biggest cult band. They don't do that high polished pansy modern metal, they sing unconventional lyrics in a pure and raw style. Go listen to Every time i die and masterbate with your tears if you can't take it

[what567]

Haha, what are you, 15 years old?

[glasday]

I dont know about what are you talkin..I just know that I love everytime I die and High on fire..And I feel the luckiest boy ever..

[johnald8]

high on fire can't be a cult band with a best buy exclusive track... too many fans.... but does this make anyone miss Sleep? Even when I listen to Om, I think what if the rhythm section was reunited with Matt Pike.... But as far as the bands that formed out of Sleep, the musicianship and quality of Om is better...

But I'll enjoy High on Fire play with Baroness if I can...

[XxMinatoNamikazexX]

@johnald8 Sleep is reuniting actually, lucky us.

[eirefrance]

@johnald8 High on Fire is for getting revved up, Om is for relaxing and focusing. I love to work to Om, its the perfect soundtrack to drown out the world and focus on work.

[glasday]

Yeah man..They are High on fire!!! What are you waiting for ??¿ Grindcore?

[SherrifSkullface]

wow

[SHRAPTOR]

3:04 to 4:40 Fuckin Beautiful

[lamentate07]

reaper: clarity is not 'crucial' to this kind of stoner/sludge metal. in fact it's quite the opposite. and besides, you can have clarity AND grit and the right balance was achieved on their last record for me

CHEK: next step is anything that takes the band forward musically and artistically. regression for me, in the context of high on fire and snakes of the divine, means that it's not as expansive as D.I.T.C. i enjoyed the psych influenced textures and melodies.

this is a good record though.

[reaperpro]

This is a great metal album. Clarity is crucial to the aesthetic. No way would it have been better served by muddy production. It also shows them stepping further away from any possibility of hipsters and indie rock people digging them, a brave and commendable move. Hails. \m/

[TheElectricReligion]

I agree with this. they've stopped stepping down to the Venom/Celtic frost mentality of horrible production and stepped up to an approach that allows everything to be heard clearly for more sonic brutality- much better way to go

[ironmaiden20]

You know what's ironic in your statement? The title contains parts of Thomas Gabriel Fischer's bands. Celtic Frost and Hellhammer. lol

[notenoughspac]

oh man i know what u mean, surrounded by theives mostly sounded like black metal quality guitar and same with the art of self deffence, this album is pretty much the frankenstien of all the good things in the last 4 albums

[chekurupi]

lamentate07 define next step and regression? just need clarification, not flaming you.

[lamentate07]

can somebody please explain to me how this album is the next step for High On Fire? Because what i hear, if anything, is a regression musically, and a much cleaner sound,

i wish Endino produced this.

[altebaran]

TOTALLY AGREE

[robbietempleton]

I read that this album was being released 23rd Feb and was really excited..... Not out in the UK till 8th March!!! Bugger, oh well youtube listens till then. PS Its awesome and may not be Surrounded by thieves but I think it might actually be better

[unknown04soldier]

love this song. the whole album is amazing. anyone know where i can find the lyrics? i can't find them anywhere.

[gonor]

on the booklet

[MantraTherapy]

yes this album doest indeed sound different and less heavy which may annoy or dissapoint some. but you know whats way more annoying and disapointing? when the band plays it safe and delivers the same album twice and doesnt progress or evolve as artists.

[MrGrunge99]

I can see why people who are still hung up on "Surrounded by Thieves" might find this album disappointing. But still, "they're not as heavy as they used to be" is a completely retarded thing to say. Bands change, their sound evolves, not really sure why that's a bad thing.

[TheLastBaron16]

@MrGrunge, I couldn't agree more

[engage7632]

I feel like a viking standing atop a mountain of fucking skulls whilst crushing faces and hurling boulders at my enemies below.

This entire album makes me want to fuck shit up. This album is metal and it delivers.

[notenoughspac]

@engage7632 see, right there, if music doesnt give u a feeling then its doing something wrong, every time i listen to this song i think about going into war with a bunch of vikings and smashing skulls and spilling blood on the battlefield

[gODfall]

i came in my ear.

[mikeyv311]

FINALLY some descent new music coming out!! This shit is awesome!

[ketc714]

better than the other song, but still way too clean. i really hope they dont go down the same road as lamb of god and bodom.

[Sweepingreaper4]

Seriously. I hate when a band starts with hardcore awesome tuff and then they go all soft. Like the Hanson Brothers.

[kercaine]

@ketc714 they wouldnt . . . just saying

[h3rsh3y94]

@ketc714 Lamb of god didn't really soften up in the way you implied. The guitar lines may make the songs a little cleaner but the drums and vocals make up for that. Maybe if they drop chris and randy they can make a radio friendly song

[adio1984]

shit my bad, i didnt read far enough down.

its about as clean as blessed black wings and death is this communion, that really gritty buried sound came out more when they still had george rice, i guess i just prefer matts work with joe preston and jeff matz overall and assumed the wrong thing when i read your comment

[adio1984]

i cannot believe that someone would complain about the production value of this album. this sound is EXACTLY what Matt Pike intended i can guarantee you that much. this is sludge/stoner metal, it is suppose to be dirty..if you dont like it then dont listen to it & furthermore dont make yourself into an asshat by complaining about something that is EXACTLY how it is suppose to be. raw, gritty and dirty. welcome to the 21st centurys new metal scene, either get on board or get mowed the fuck down.

[mygodishendrix]

no most people were complaining about how it sounds too clean

[mygodishendrix]

And to all you fapsters yelling about how the production sucks- I love the increased vocal prescense. Now we can hear more of pike's awesome lyrics instead of being too far back to make sense of anything. As long as they continue with this speedy direction as on DITC they'll be fine :D

[caravancam19]

i agree completely, the grit is awesome. matt pike is THE man. and i hate all the whineyness as much as the next guy. thing is i can see why some people wouldnt like his voice, its very raw, and might be a bit too much for some. thats what i like about it though.

[caravancam19]

i like the vocals. they're horrible, but in a good way.

[kopileegh16]

Motherfucking heavy ass metal, at its best. High on Fire rules the world of metal these days... along with Mastodon, Megasus and a handful of other 21st century metal bands.

[spaznorcrest]

PLATEAU OF LENG

[darkcheef]

Great song, but bad production.

The guitar's don't sound as heavy, and the drums are way too loud to me.

[Drizzlerman]

I'd say Greg Fidelman has made their sound more subdued, the band still pays brutally and skilled but the sound is a bit easier on the ears and is not quite as oppressive as some of their older stuff.

[Knickerbocker]

amazing band with a shitty ass singer..

[mygodishendrix]

Dude Matt Pike sounds fucking awesome. What are you talking about? he's like an evolved lemmy. UNLIKE all the shitty whineyass alternative emo/alt/screamo vocalists who have NO DEPTH in thier voices - he has a unique grit that alot of other singers don't have

[SpaceAndrew]

@mygodishendrix

The real talent is how he can bend his gritty voice. He's got more than the low pitch and the high pitch. He hits notes inbetween! Pike rocks.

[100wattLaneyPower]

@mygodishendrix That grit comes from smoking a lot of weed and cigarettes. And drinking whiskey! I met him in Seattle. He is super friendly and chill and doesn't mind talking to fans. He doesn't have that bullshit rockstar attitude, he's just a regular dude. Who is insanely talented...

[penguinsrock56]

@mygodishendrix Hahahaha, i love the wording there, "an evolved lemmy"? "WOW LOOK YOUR LEMMYMON IS EVOLVING INTO A PIKEMON!!!" no offense, just think it's funny...:)

[pulse868]

@mygodishendrix Lemmy is god. Better than any vocalist.

[MrHorrorman00]

@mygodishendrix ''like an evolved lemmy'' TRUE!

[MrJoeysan]

@mygodishendrix ^that, less girly screaming more deep real METAL voices please. Can't fucking stand shitbands like bmth or asking alexandria. HOF FUCKING RULES

[verticalcinema87]

@mygodishendrix Totaly. When i first heard the band i actually thought Lemmy had another project. lol.

[EC1000]

great tune but the production is so differnet from the last couple of releases. really kinda has a current , tight metal type of sound (big change on the guitar tones especially) compared to the rawness that was preseent on previous CDs..not sure if i like it. the bridge reminds me of mastodon

[TheDominoDecree]

Oh man...they fucked up the production. Sounds too clean. Doesn't have nearly as much punch as DITC.

[DEATHMETAL0011]

the album cover looks like it's from the movie Heavy Metal in a very epic way.

[RobbKongMetal999]

@DEATHMETAL0011

Such an epic movie!!!

I loved both the original and the sequel...

If they make a third one, they need to include HIGH ON FIRE...

It should be a scene where the forces of evil are murdering the heroes in a brutal way...

[Andragon90]

Hmmm almost too straightforward in the beginning, but I do like the bridge and solo. The album will indeed be great.

[UncleLucio]

this is great stuff...however, I still hail Blessed Black Wings to be their greatest effort so far...I'm still anticipating this release and I already bought my tickets for see them on tour in April!!!

[mygodishendrix]

I dont see you doing anything about it

[MADDCHEF247]

FUCKING AWSOME!

[SpaceAndrew]

Pretty good. Looking forward to hearing the rest of this album. 10 more days.

[maulhoik]

Album of the year. NOTHING will top this.

[crmy]

cynic EP

[ThrashAh0lic]

Ironbound.

[krakou2]

what happenened with relapse?

[Axiis]

Sounds good, but i hate the triggsound from the bassdrum

[EarlMcCrackin]

This is pretty sick! Kinda digging the new mix, backing vocals, etc...

[jackandbullets]

I am sooooooo fucking stoked for this album to hit. fuck getting the leak too. this saving grace of metal needs us to go buy this album!

[xXJoshzillaXx]

@jackandbullets i am right there with you. the thought of it makes me jizz myself!

[777CrimsonMoonlight]

Dude Josh! I wasn't expecting to find you on this. This is really great.

[yprs]

@777CrimsonMoonlight: Attack of the killer christians ?

[TheeBobOv]

High On Fire is WAY too good to keep being the opening band on dumb 4 band tours...they need to be direct support for bigger bands like Slayer or something,High On Fire blows away all the shitty bands they end up opening for

[sickpuppydisembowel]

great song and great band!

[Muskox66]

matt pike is metals last hope worship this band buy all their cds now

[TeragX]

Trust me its fake, just because it comes out soon doesn't mean its real, although it may be from one of Pikes other bands

[JooshyJoosh93]

the album is now leaked

[TeragX]

Naw bro its fake :( doesnt sound anything like the iTunes previews, and the ver. of Frost Hammer is very different.

[JooshyJoosh93]

yea but when my friend downloaded it, frost hammer sounded exactly how it sounded when i saw them with mastodon. but when i downloaded it, it was a completely different song. but the other songs which r 7 others sounded pretty real. how would they be fake if its all of them playing and its on that album. and its coming out the 23rd so im pretty sure its the album cause thats not that far away
