HIGH ON FIRE Release New Album Title Track Video For "Cometh The Storm" By Larry Petro, News Monkey Tuesday, April 16, 2024 @ 5:58 PM
Now, HIGH ON FIRE drops a music video for the new album's title track, directed by Phil Mucci for Diabolik Films. Experience "Cometh the Storm" on KNAC.COM HERE.
""Cometh the Storm" was built from a riff I started playing on bass at practice," explains bassist/guitarist Jeff Matz. "I was noodling around with this melancholic harmonic minor line, just hammering the notes with my left hand, when Matt yelled out "Are we recording this!?" The chorus riff was something Coady and I came up with when we were jamming in LA. Matt then came in and worked up some rough lyrics and came up with the vocal line. For the chorus, I used this fretless bass I'd acquired. The weight of the low frequencies this thing produced was insane-how it blended with the guitars and drums, it was like being hit with a sledgehammer. We knew right away that this was going to be an epically heavy track."
"This was the first time I got to work with the guys on set and we had a blast," offers Mucci. HIGH ON FIRE lyrics can always be interpreted in a number of ways, so I started by trying to define "The Storm". A huge list of visual ideas got whittled down to the two essential characters at work, The Man and Gaia, representing duel ends of the spectrum - with a very destructive cross-over. I always try to keep things light and encourage everyone to come with ideas - like Coady's burning cymbal idea! No better way to end your HIGH ON FIRE shoot than with exploding cymbals!"
HIGH ON FIRE will kick off U.S. headlining tour dates in support of Cometh the Storm on May 4 in Orlando, FL. The jaunt will feature support from Venezuelan post rock outfit, ZETA, and Massachusetts crossover crew HIGH COMMAND. The just-announced tour dates are as follows:
