HIGH ON FIRE_Snakes_for_the_Divine_album_cover

Damn, that sounds sexual.

ANYWAY, “Frost Hammer” is actually the name of a new High on Fire track – the first we’ve heard from the band’s forthcoming album, Snakes for the Divine, and like pretty much everything High on Fire do, it’s metal as fuck. I mean, the song includes such lyrics as “Winters in veins/Hammers aris /to melt through the ice… Frost Hammer!”, so you know that HOF aren’t dicking around.

Stereogum is debuting this track; you can give it a listen here. Snakes for the Divine comes out February 23 on E1.

    Great song, great album cover.

    I love HOF – but one misplaced snake on that cover does have the effect of making that snake lady look like a snake ladyboy….

  • El Peras

    What does “weild” mean?

  • ceth carter

    High On Fire do no wrong.

  • Tanner

    I was relieved that the production wasnt awful. HOF are the snakes elbows.

  • Ryan

    I kinda wish Axl would wield some spellcheck.

    We’re all gonna jump on the “weild”, but let the “hammers aris” go?!?!

  • brian roach

    god, could this band rule any more???????

  • Phil

    They deliver exactly what I want from metal music!

  • ben

    sounds like High on Fire.

    • cosk!

      haha yeah, it does…

  • dread

    I will buy the shit out of that, but I hope the vocals on the rest of it are rawer. The only thing I want between me and Matt Pikes tarry vocal cords is magnetic tape.

    I am so excited for this album, they played a song called “Mystic River” when I was them this summer and it was awesome.

    Fucking awesome!

    Great song. The production does not sound to bad either, maybe Fidelman didn’t ruin this album?

    this sucks, his vocals sound like shit and way too loud, drums are pushed back and have lost their war-drum feeling, the bass is too prominent for an HoF song, lame clean vocals towards the end. Holy shit I think I am done with this band. Give me Death is This Communion 2: The Redux and I would have been a happy camper.

      it doesnt sound that bad. it sounds like a total high on fire song. this album will probably be there best album to date

  • WowWee!

    I will take a shot of Jack Daniels to this.
