High On Fire release new music video for ‘Cometh The Storm’

HIGH ON FIRE have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Cometh The Storm, is the title track from the American stoner metal band’s upcoming new album, which is scheduled to be released later this month.

Speaking about the new song, bassist Jeff Matz says, “Cometh The Storm was built from a riff I started playing on bass at practice. I was noodling around with this melancholic harmonic minor line, just hammering the notes with my left hand, when Matt [Pike, guitars/vocals] yelled out ‘are we recording this!?’ The chorus riff was something Coady [Willis, drums] 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.”

Music video director Phil Mucci says, “this was the first time I got to work with the guys on set and we had a blast. 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 crossover. 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!”
