The vocals reminds me of MOTÖRHEAD's Lemmy, and this American trio sound like a mixture of MOTÖRHEAD and BLACK SABBATH. They have a really fat sound that I really like, even though it took a couple of listenings before I got into it.
It's also really heavy, which makes the songs long. Most songs are around 6 minutes, some are even as long as 8 minutes. But it actually works, and it's not that bad after all.
Mainman in this band is Matt Pike from the cult band SLEEP, and this is HIGH ON FIRE's fifth album. The band was formed in 1998. Jeff Matz from Seattle speed punks ZEKE play bass, and the drummer is Des Kensel. Enough history!
Worth lending a ear to, that's for sure!
