High On Fire is an American heavy metal band from Oakland, California, founded in 1998 by guitarist and vocalist Matt Pike, who also plays in the influential stoner-doom band Sleep. The trio built their name as one of the most uncompromising live acts in heavy music, forging a sound that fuses doom, sludge and thrash. They won the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 2019 for 'Electric Messiah', and returned in 2024 with their ninth studio album Cometh the Storm - their first new material in six years, and the first to feature drummer Coady Willis of the Melvins and Big Business.
High On Fire plays on August 12, 2026 at TivoliVredenburg in Utrecht as part of their European summer tour.
High On Fire announced their European summer tour 2026, with shows in Spain, Portugal, France, Netherlands, Germany and Scandinavia, among others.
The band announced a North American headlining tour for fall 2025, in support of Cometh the Storm.
High On Fire released their ninth studio album Cometh the Storm via MNRK Heavy, produced by Kurt Ballou at GodCity Studio in Salem, Massachusetts.
Cometh the Storm is the first High On Fire album with drummer Coady Willis (Melvins, Big Business) following the departure of co-founder Des Kensel in 2019.
