“the new High On Fire Blessed Black Wings record [is] the most brutal metal album I’ve heard in years.” – Dave Grohl (SPIN Magazine)

“No longer the best stoner-metal band in the land, High on Fire is now clearly, simply one of the country's best metal bands, period.” – DALLAS OBSERVER

“shirtless metal somewhere between Motorhead's biker thunder and Slayer's muscular riffology. Still far and away one of the best metal acts going.” – AUSTIN AMERICAN STATESMAN

“the trio will steamroll your senses -- a year of nonstop touring behind 2005's Blessed Black Wings has made the already tight HoF an unstoppable metal monster” – NEW TIMES

"HIGH ON FIRE is the sludgy resin from 30 years of super-hard-rock history transubstantiated into three men from Oakland with low-slung jeans" - NEW YORK TIMES
"the apocalypse's doomy, amp-destroying fifth horseman... galloping mammoth metal" - SPIN

"unbelievably heavy...massive crunching riffs and drums that slam like vault doors" - REVOLVER

"HIGH ON FIRE build a temple to The Riff and preach its word as loudly as humanly possible" - AUSTIN CHRONICLE
"Tony Iommi's jaw would drop." - KERRANG!

"For a band getting as much crossover attention as they do, locals High on Fire have remained staunchly, unapologetically metal over the years. Celtic Frost-meets-the Melvins riffage, topped off with vocals so hoarse they make Lemmy sound like a choirboy." - SAN FRANCISCO BAY GUARDIAN

"the sound of the planet getting broadsided by a shower of asteroids, and the crushing terror of 20-story stone beasts methodically obliterating everything in their path with each malevolent stomp. And you won't want it to end." - PHOENIX NEW TIMES

"On Blessed Black Wings, High on Fire's third full-length, the Bay Area power trio has really come into its own as one of the most punishing metal bands on the planet." - MIAMI NEW TIMES

"HIGH ON FIRE are back in the master's chair, this is 'Blessed...' indeed." - ROCK SOUND
