About High On Fire
Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify | Apple Music
High on Fire, the Grammy Award-winning juggernaut from Oakland, has carved a relentless path through the metal landscape since their inception in 1998. Fusing primal aggression with a monolithic sonic presence, the band has become one of the most revered and unyielding forces in heavy music. As the New York Times' Ben Ratliff once put it, their sound is "the sludgy resin from 30 years of super-hard-rock history"—a thunderous blend of riff-driven fury and raw, unfiltered power.
Unapologetically loud and defiantly non-mainstream, High on Fire was never meant for the faint of heart—or the FM dial. Frontman Matt Pike has always made it clear: this is music for those drawn to the extreme, the feral, the mythic. And over the years, the band's refusal to compromise has only fueled their ascent. In 2019, they earned a Grammy for Best Metal Performance with the blistering title track from their 2018 album "Electric Messiah", placing them in the pantheon alongside titans like Black Sabbath and Metallica. Bassist Jeff Matz called it an unexpected milestone—one that broadened their reach without diluting their vision.
As the band celebrates its 25th anniversary, they return more potent than ever with "Cometh the Storm"—their first new album since "Electric Messiah", and their ninth studio effort to date, out April 19, 2024 via MNRK Heavy. Recorded at GodCity Studio in Salem, Massachusetts with renowned producer Kurt Ballou, the 11-song release marks a powerful new era for High on Fire. Adorned with runic artwork from longtime collaborator Arik Moonhawk Roper, "Cometh the Storm" reflects both the band's enduring creative spirit and the shadowed intensity of the world around them. It's a triumphant testament to High on Fire's legacy and their unrelenting drive to push the boundaries of heavy music.

About Pissed Jeans
Website | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify
Pissed Jeans is a working-class punk band from Allentown, Pennsylvania, known for their heavy, sludgy grunge-punk sound and sarcastic, raw lyrics about sexual frustration, dead-end jobs, and suburban malaise. Formed in 2003 as a side project born in a sweaty car ride, the band features frontman Matt Korvette and blends early ’80s punk with ’90s hardcore. Despite signing to the legendary Sub Pop label and releasing a string of ferocious albums—including Shallow (2005), Hope for Men (2007), King of Jeans (2009), Honeys (2013), and Why Love Now (2017)—they’ve maintained day jobs and a deliberately low-key approach to their career. After a six-year gap, they returned in 2024 with Half Divorced, reaffirming their unrelenting, caustic perspective two decades in.

High Reeper is a heavy metal band from Delaware/Philadelphia. Shortly after forming in 2016 they were signed to Heavy Psych Sounds Records and have since released two full length albums along with one split EP.
Supporting their first two releases with almost 90 dates over three tours in Europe alone; including stops at HPS Fests Rome and Innsbruck, Desertfest Berlin and Antwerp, headlining their venue at Desertfest London, Esbjerg Fuzztival and many other killer shows abroad and in the US.
Originally with a sound deeply rooted in modern stoner metal while still giving a nod to classic heavy metal records, High Reeper’s sound has continued to evolve with each LP and through lineup changes. The result of which helped produce their upcoming 2024 full length “Renewed By Death” which is a 35 minute assault of brand new metal that finds the band looking clearly forward while at the same time exploring their influences from the 80s and early 90s.
