I'd recommend either Death Is This Communion or Blessed Black Wing. Those are probably the best in terms of songwriting and production. The first two are great too, but a little more down-and-dirty. They also have a new one coming out this fall unless it gets pushed back, and I'm sure it will kick ass as well.
cheers for the advice boys, i ended up getting Death Is This Communion and of course listened about 50 times now (waste of tiamat is fuckin epic!) but you tell bands like Mastodon got influenced big by High on Fire

whoa buddy i dont have an ear for real metal? what do you call megadeth what do you call slayer, opeth? is that not real metal this band is shit! end of story. and the reason i am alive is to inform faggot fucks like you of real metal.
This was my favourite song by these guys for a long time, but I like To Cross The Bridge. High on Fire was amazing at Gigantour, honestly liked them more than Megadeth. NO WAY they should've been first. Blowjob for a fagboy should've been first if they were to be on at all. TERRIBLE.
Yeah I love OM as well. It really is too bad about Hakius. I'd really like to see a Sleep reunion, but i'm doubtful on the event. But what can you do? Listen to the albums that are still kicking around. Sleep's Holy Mountain will never die.
Dude, I've been hearing a little bit about a Sleep reunion show. I've heard its only one night, and that its in London, I think. I personally think they should do it here at home, but they may have had a larger fan base over there. Oh well.
Wow no way... I'd kill to see that, but I don't think I would pay hundreds upon hundreds to travel there for it... I don't know. There should be a reunion WORLDWIDE TOUR include Canada or AT LEAST Seattle, so I would be able to see it.
Man Gigantour in London, these guys fuckin ruled, Job should have been on first i agree, but better than Deth? No way, Megadethys sound was bad at the show but HOF's Mix was waaaay off. Completely underrated band, one of my favorites
High on Fire are the avatar of classic heavy metal, but with extra umph (Cro-Mags jamming with Black Sabbath)! Their power is like being broadsided by a mack truck going 100 miles an hour! "Bringer of impending Dooooom!!"
