Known for their crushing riffs and striking live energy, High On Fire have been one of the most uncompromising forces in heavy music since their formation in 1998. The band’s sound blends sludge, doom, and thrash metal in an unfiltered way, echoing the legacy of pioneers such as Black Sabbath and Metallica. In 2019, the band won a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance with the title track from their album Electric Messiah.
After eight full-length releases, High On Fire entered a new era with their latest album Cometh the Storm (2024). Widely recognized as one of the most aggressive and straightforward releases of the band’s career, the album showcases both the striking power of High On Fire’s signature elements and their uncompromising drive to push the boundaries of metal.
High On Fire have toured extensively throughout Europe and North America on long headline concerts and at major metal festivals. In Finland, the band have previously performed at Tuska Open Air Metal Festival as well as at Korjaamo in Helsinki. The band has earned widespread praise for their high-energy stage presence and razor-sharp execution.
