HIGH ON FIRE

With a heavy-handed approach and a sound that crashes like thunder, 
HIGH ON FIRE has put the power back in 'power-trio'. Less a band than a 
supersonic exercise in conquest by volume and sheer heaviness, the band 
has burned the metal rulebook and forged a new archetype.

HIGH ON FIRE was formed by guitarist Matt Pike in late summer 1998. 
Formed out of the need to simply play guitar again, Pike jammed with 
and settled on a line-up of powerhouse drummer Des Kensel and longtime 
guitarist friend George Rice, who made the switch to bass to round out 
the trio.

They had scarcely been together for a few months before demo-ing three 
songs. That demo, featuring 'Master of Fists' and instant classics 
'10,000 Years' and 'Blood from Zion', became among the most 
sought-after tapes in recent hard rock history. HIGH ON FIRE got 
straight to the point, bashing away with a Neanderthal sense of purpose 
and creating hypnotic, droning waves of powerful riffs and low-end 
thunder of the likes not heard before.

Before the band had even made it's first live appearance, labels 
flocked to get a piece of the trio. In the end the band chose to record 
with the Mans Ruin label and the demo surfaced in the form of a mini-CD 
in early '99, while they continued writing for their debut full-length.

That debut, The Art of Self Defense, was welcome respite from 
commercialized rap-metal and warmed-over stoner-rock clichés of the 
time. The Art of Self Defense served up a rock hard, unorthodox form of 
modern metal cloaked in strange religious theology and the trio's style 
was unique, distinct, and absolutely crushing.

Accolades poured in the world over: Rolling Stone, Spin, GQ, 
Alternative Press, Magnet, Chicago Sun-Times, The Washington Post, 
Village Voice and dozens of others publications. Almost overnight, HIGH 
ON FIRE were the unassuming heroes of the riff and the most celebrated 
metal band on the planet. On the waves of such massive exposure, HIGH 
ON FIRE hit  the road. Europe was conquered with ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY 
in tow and the U.S. was taken in two tours of duty.

Summer 2001 saw Man's Ruin close up shop, leaving the band with no 
label and no distribution. Relapse offered, the trio accepted, and 
found themselves a new home and new full-length effort titled 
Surrounded By Thieves with gargantuan songs such as 'Hung, Drawn and 
Quartered', 'Nemesis', and 'Razorhoof'. Rarely has metal been as 
powerful and pure in its ability to translate primal fury and 
aggression.

The now-legendary HIGH ON FIRE tour juggernaut celebrated with a 
marathon North American Tour that saw them traverse the continent for 
six consecutive months with the likes of MASTODON, SHADOWS FALL, 
MOTORHEAD, SUPERJOINT RITUAL, and more, and a Japanese and European 
headlining tours. The touring was capped by the band being named one of 
Alternative Press Magazine's "25 Most Important Metal Bands".

In the summer of 2004, HIGH ON FIRE was joined by bassist Joe Preston 
(THRONES / ex-MELVINS). Preston replaced Rice, and made his live debut 
on a 14 city U.S. trek that concluded in Chicago, IL where the band 
entered Electrical Audio Studios with engineer Steve Albini (NEUROSIS, 
JON SPENCER BLUES EXPLOSION, NIRVANA) to record Blessed Black Wings.

Blessed Black Wings exploded onto the scene. From the start the band 
hit the road and traveled the world, playing esteemed festivals such as 
All Tomorrows Party (at the request of The Mars Volta), Dour (Belgium), 
Quart (Norway), Intonation (Chicago), Hellfest (France), as well as the 
inaugural Sounds of the Underground Tour. Additionally, the band 
headlined internationally with the likes of MASTODON, CLUTCH, GWAR, and 
many more. Preston was replaced toward the end of the touring cycle by 
former ZEKE bassist Jeff Matz.

Blessed Black Wings was named one of 2005's best releases by Kerrang!, 
Revolver, Pitchfork, Rock Sound, Decibel and dozens of other 
publications the world over. Additionally, Pike was named one of the 20 
best guitarists by Rolling Stone Magazine.

In June 2006, after a long, intense writing process, HIGH ON FIRE 
entered Seattle's Avast 2 and Soundhouse studios with legendary 
producer Jack Endino (NIRVANA, SOUNDGARDEN) to record their 
long-awaited new full-length, Death Is This Communion.

Death Is This Communion is High On Fire’s ultimate sonic masterpiece. 
Matt Pike's unmistakable guitar playing and throaty war cry lead the 
charge, while Des Kensel’s massive drumming takes on a new life and 
pushes the beast onward more urgently than ever. From the rampaging 
'Rumors of War' and 'Fury Whip', through the hypnotic riffs of 
'Ethereal' and the album’s title track, Death Is This Communion is HIGH 
ON FIRE's masterwork.

GET HUSTLE

To those who are unfamiliar with the Get Hustle,
The first time I saw the Get Hustle was in the French Quarter, New 
Orleans, which was no accident. I was homesick and drifting around 
outside this petite theater down on Bourbon Street, in a haze, and all 
of a sudden I heard a reverberation that was so strange coming from the 
stage inside. I went in to witness the Get Hustle and they stole my 
heart. It was the most erotic and magnetic sound. At the same time it 
was deeply spiritual and connected like angels flying across the desert 
right into your soul, saving you and enslaving you. I was listening to 
a lot of Sun Ra, Amon Duul II, The Birthday Party, Leadbelly, and  
David Bowie at the time and it seems logical that whatever this sound 
was would be in complete agreement with my tastes at the time. It was 
truly a thrilling psychic event and there have been many with the Get 
Hustle since.
Get Hustle will put you on your knees, turn you over and turn you out. 
It is crime! I was taken… Mac Mann is a gentleman who plays the 
electric piano making sounds that roll down octaves, scary, meaningful 
unfolding chapters of emotional plot sung to you like a hymn by 
Valentine Lovecraft Falcon, an angel, all the time the beat so primal, 
so bloodthirsty is pounding in every direction never repeating but 
maintaining the spell by Maxamillion Avila. I have been a child ever 
since and they take care of me as such. Listen to their song 
“Revolution Van� and you will understand what I mean.
Whenever the weary old life and the weary old music seems to be 
hopeless there comes along an album so powerful and prosperous like the 
Get Hustle’s newest “Rollin in the Ruins� on Three One G. The Get 
Hustle has been in existence for 9 years and has consistently made 
albums that amaze. Records including the "I've Got A Gun and I'm 
Excited" 7" and "Now We're all Gone" 12" EP, both on GSL, the "Earth 
Odyssey" LP on 5RC/Kill Rock Stars, the Gravity single "Who Do You 
Love/ Mad Power" 7", and their Three One G debut 12" EP, "Dream 
Eagle� there was a shift to pure creative genius with “Live at the 
Little Fawn� a tour CD put out by the band themselves. The newest is 
another album in that realm, even more brilliant “Rollin’ in the 
Ruins� is a sacrifice for you friends, take the rose, thank Three One 
G for putting out such an amazing release. Listen to the song “Don 
Quixote and Me�, I can’t give musical references, but this song 
will say more about this record than a million words. “Rollin’ in 
the Ruins� is so intense, so explicit, and so ahead of it’s time, a 
miraculous continuance of the chronicle that is Get Hustle.
