High on Fires 2005 album is called Blessed Black Wings, but its album cover makes the word blessed feel like a bit of a misnomer. The tattered appendages protruding from the freaky gargoyle beast on its art appears completely void of holiness, and the bands onslaught of gnarsty sludge metal reeks of the muck beneath Satans feet. Either way, the third LP from Sleep mastermind Matt Pikes heavier and faster other band is simply one of the best in its class.
