Number 10
“Who among us can dwell with the consuming fire? Who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings?” Isaiah 33:14
And now we enter the Top 10 of this years Ultimate Stoner HiVe top 20 of albums. Which means the world has not come to an end and those Maya, Hopi, Indus cultures and a caseload of lovely freaks had it wrong. So we can now look forward actually seeing who ends up on the Number 1 position according to 56 sent in lists and to 2029 when the world will come to an end according to a few other maniacs or 2060 according to Newton. Hell; as long as we try to make this floating rock a bit better for everyone inhabiting it; I don’t mind sticking around. And I think those freaks we find on Number 10 would not mind either; even though they get their kicks from a very destructive power. Which you can hear in their burning riffs and blistering drums. Their sixth studio album is an almost bombastic inferno of heaviness that borders on insane punctuation and a highly exact execution. Ambitious yet extremely atavistic.
High on Fire - De Vermis Mysteriis
Yes; we are still here and breathing! No tsunamis, no earthquakes, no waves of lava or otherwise destructive thingies; just a serious hangover and a definite hope the future might be bright, heavy and loud. Like this record! A cannonshot of riffs and drums!
