SHIRTLESS AND SWEATY, HIGH ON FIRE ENTER STUDIO TO RECORD NEW ALBUM

Oakland's favorite power trio, High on Fire, have (finally) gone back in the studio to record the follow-up to 2007's absolutely punishing Death is this Communion. Mssrs. Pike, Matz and Kensel completed pre-production with producer Greg Fidelman (Slayer, Johnny Motherfucking Cash) in August and are in the middle of tracking the new record, slated for an early 2010 release.

Actually, right now they're taking a seven-week break from recording to tour with a few other bands you might be familiar with. But we're pretty confident they'll be back in black as soon as the tour wraps.

Dates after the jump.
