The guitar he uses is awesome. 3 strings on the bass side, 6 strings on the treble. Creates an awesome effect. Especially when it's tuned down to C.
Yeah, he just started using that on Death Is This Communion. It's an awesome guitar (and he knows how to play it).

I have yet to get into this band. They're like stoner metal mixed with Motorhead rock n roll, right? I should like them fine.

Stoner/thrash (of the Venom variety) & Motorhead are some of the primary influences, yes. The guitarist is Matt Pike from Sleep.
I would recommend starting with the debut album (The Art Of Self Defense) and working your way forward, that's the most "stoner sounding" of the bunch.

All i knew about the band was that Pike was the head honcho. Thanks for the tip.

Actually the new one reminds me of Motorhead's Inferno album.

There's always been some Motorhead vibe mixed in with their sound, the title track of the new album has that type of groove. Plus, Pike's vocals make him sound like Lemmy's son anyway.
TZ, I really love all the records these guys have put out. I think you would like the debut ALOT (The Art Of Self Defense). That one is a classic in my book.

I'm gonna have to nab the new one off of eBay. No one here in town carries it, and the one shop that can order it wants $27!!

The new album is awesome. Death Is This Communion is still better IMO but the new on is close on it heels. Surround By Thieves is still my fav tho.
High On Fire Rule!

The new album didn't quite hit me the way DITC did, still a pretty sweet release. Fire, blood, and plague is my fav off this record.

I saw that same tour. Bison, Priestess and HoF were all great. I didn't care for Black Cobra at all. Too noisy. Enjoy the show.
