High on Fire’s Death is This Communion in Stores Tomorrow

Tomorrow Oakland, CA, metal heroes High on Fire will release their new album Death is This Communion (produced by Jack Endino), and to celebrate, they’ve got a few things going on that don’t involve drinking the Blood of Virgins.

First, you should go to their MySpace page to hear “Rumors of War,” a track off the new album. Add it to your profile to prove to the world just how metal you are. Then you might want to check out the Newbury Comics Web site where you can pre-order the album and receive an autographed CD booklet with your purchase. FYE.com is also offering a giveaway to promote the album. You can enter this sweepstakes for a chance to win a guitar autographed by High on Fire, on which you can practice sludgy riffs until your weed runs out.

Above all, you should rejoice, because a new album means a new tour. Bay Area hessians should head over to Ameoba Records in San Francisco tomorrow, Sept. 18th, to check out a free all-ages show at 7 PM. From there, the group embarks on a month-long nationwide tour, beginning at the Casbah in San Diego on Sept. 20th. If you haven’t seen the group live, the experience is something akin to standing in the middle of a stampede of brontosaurs. Full tour schedule after the jump.
