Review: Bar None, The Best Heavy Metal Release of 2010 - It happens every single year. As soon as I feel ready to finally give up on my favorite music genre, along comes an album that manages to sound fresh and transcends the overhyped trendy bands that crowd a long creatively dry scene, singlehandedly restoring my faith on heavy metal, humanity and all that's good with the world. In 2010, High on Fire's Snakes for the Divine was such album. Folks, this is 100% pure, skull-crushing metal that transcends useless subgenre labels and gives all those insipid, trendy post whatevercore bands a much needed knee deep kick in the rear. Longtime fans of the band feared that choosing Greg Fidelman as the producer of this album would result in a disaster, because of his previous work on Slayer's World Painted Blood and Metallica's Death Magnetic. Considering that this band had such luminaries as Steve Albini and Jack Endino sitting on the producer chair on previous offerings, he had some gigantic shoes to fill, and thankfully, did a much better job than anyone could expect. Even if this is the cleanest sounding album by High on Fire, it's still massive and powerful, with all the instruments expertly placed in the mix. Des Kensel's powerhouse performance deserves a special mention: a multitude of so called metal drummers could learn a thing or two about technique, groove, dynamics, and finally, how to hit the skins like the hammer of the gods instead of sounding like a pathetic click track just from listening to this record. The album's opening eponymous track starts with a surprisingly out of character unaccompanied tapping intro, similar to the beginning of AC/DC's Thunderstruck. After forty five seconds, the rhythm guitar drops in, and the band punishes the listener for eight and a half glorious minutes. The aptly titled second track, Frost Hammer, crushes the listener to submission and even if the brooding third track, Bastard Samurai, has a longer fuse, when it finally catches fire turns into a slab of pure, unadulterated headbanging nirvana. After frontloading an album with an unforgiving trio of metal anthems like these, a slight quality drop is understandable in the songs that follow. Luckily, when it comes to a band like this, this just means going from supernaturally godlike to merely superhumanly mythical heaviness. Other notable standouts from the album are Ghost Neck, which twists and turns like a tornado and How Dark We Pray, which features some of Matt Pike's best and most melodic lead work to date. This is heavy metal at its finest, and my favorite release for the year 2010. Buy it, High on Fire needs and deserves the unconditional support of headbangers worldwide. Review: Crushing metal that can start earthquakes - Consider this a twin review of "Snakes For The Divine" and "Death Is This Communion", since I've bought the two CD's only a few days apart. After coming home after a long hard day at work, I love to put severely heavy music on the stereo. It's kind of revitalizing, but mainly I just dig it, and always have. So when I visited High On Fire on You Tube, after only one tune I knew I was onto something, and I was right. What greeted me was a punishing attack the likes of which haven't been seen since Motorhead's first three or four albums. Funny I should mention Motorhead, when singer/guitarist Matt Pike's vocal delivery is eerily like Lemmy's drink a glass of Drano croak. Not that HOF is a Motorhead knockoff. Far from it. What HOF brings us is a brilliant songwriter and equally impressive guitarist in Matt Pike, and a rhythm section so powerful it'd make a thunderstorm wet its pants. We get fat guitar that recalls a cross between Fast Eddie Clarke's fat sound and Slayer's speed and attack. What a lethal combo. All the while HOF recalls some of the stoner movement's sludgier outfits, like Sleep and Kyuss. This ain't no stoner rock per se, though. High On Fire are a lot faster and more proficient on their instruments. This is true metal, and takes the genre into some newer territory. While "Death Is This Communion" is a bit more moody, "Snakes For The Divine" is more of a straight ahead onslaught, both CD's capable of turning your gray matter into pudding. Indeed, they could have been a double album, but that's okay. Only the most brutal bands dare share a stage with this trio. Lamb Of God, Kreator, Machine Head, Behemoth or Morbid Angel could hold their own, but others should probably wait if HOF comes to town at least six months after they've left before they get on stage again. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0032XC7U8 | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (158) | | Date First Available | January 6, 2010 | | Label | Koch Records | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Koch Records | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2010 | | Product Dimensions | 12.44 x 12.4 x 0.43 inches; 1.23 Pounds | ## Images ![Snakes For The Divine - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91JPbEpJUQL.jpg) ![Snakes For The Divine - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xCvFMjvdL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bar None, The Best Heavy Metal Release of 2010 *by O***S on February 7, 2011* It happens every single year.
