High on Fire

High on Fire aren't new to the music business. Five albums in, 'Snakes for the Divine' is taking off and shooting the California metal band to new heights. So while positive reviews in the New York Times and Chicago Tribune are nice, the band members don't care much...

Metallica really do have good taste when it comes to metal, having invited Machine Head, Lamb of God, Mastodon and now High on Fire to tour with them. The dirty-metal power trio High on Fire have been hand-selected by, and will join, Metallica on the band's European trek this May...

The guys in High on Fire are featured on the April cover of Decibel magazine. While being on the cover of any magazine is a major honor, the band members were admittedly freaked at the concept of having a live snake draped around their bodies...

Touring is expensive. Traveling cross country in a bus can cost a band upwards of $30,000 per month. That's astronomical for up-and-coming bands -- and even for some mid-level, growing and established acts. Touring in a van also has its cost inefficiencies; hotel rooms are often a necessity, and that gets pricey, which means you may have to go days without sleeping in a bed or a shower if you can

Releasing an EP on its own is an ambitious undertaking for a new band, but Florida's Shroud Eater saw the experience as pleasurable, since they were incredibly resourceful, taking the term DIY seriously and to heart.

This year will mark Hatebreed's first appearance on the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, so batten down the hatches and get ready to mosh till your brain falls out of your head.

On the first night of Austin's annual SXSW, March 17, metal reigned supreme, with Dillinger Escape Plan slaughtering a crowd at Emo's, while Prosthetic Records held court downstairs at the Mohawk, as Action! PR occupied the outside upper deck...

Ex-members of Scar Culture -- remember them, as they were briefly signed to Century Media in the early '00s? -- and Dirty Rig have formed Moth Eater, a New York-based, sludge-caked doom band. "We think our music is like Motörhead driving to a Black Sabbath concert with Scissorfight sitting in the back seat, High on Fire riding shotgun and the Doomriders driving the car behind us with a full

Doom-a-riffic power trio High on Fire, who defied industry trends and enjoyed a healthy first-week sales uptick on their fifth studio album, 'Snakes for the Divine,' recently premiered the roaring video for 'Frost Hammer.' The vid, filmed on location in N...

Congrats to High on Fire, whose 'Snakes for the Divine' sold nearly 10,000 copies its first week on shelves. That's nearly double what their last album sold in its first week, and this is their fifth studio album. It's incredible to see the band having forward progress deep into their career and reversing a trend...
