Biography
Oakland, San Francisco CA, United States (1998 – present)
The Oakland, California band formed in 1998 and released ‘The Art of Self Defense’ on Man’s Ruin Records, in March 2000. After Man’s Ruin Records folded, the album was re-released via Tee-Pee Records on CD and vinyl with new artwork and two bonus tracks: Steel Shoe (an original) and The Ursurper (Celtic Frost).
Following, the band signed with relapse records and released ‘Surrounded by Thieves’ in 2002, with production help from Billy Anderson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Anderson_%28music%29). Founding member and bass player George Rice, would leave the band shortly before recording the next album.
In 2004, Relapse and Throne Records released the ‘Live from the Contamination Festival’ CD and LP (respectively) which was recorded in Philadelphia, PA. The CD is limited to 2000 copies and the LP only 1000.
‘Blessed Black Wings’, produced by Steve Albini, was released in early 2005, and was their first and only to feature Joe Preston (Earth, Melvins, Thrones) on bass. The vinyl version as well as the Japanese CD version of this album had the Judas Priest song Rapid Fire as a bonus track.

All bands that are starting out, be it stoner or death metal, first think you need to consider is that you aren't going to be as heavy as THE PIKE. This band is the ugliest thing on the planet and i love them for it.

We are collabbing with HOF with the koob movement - a koob is a publication (of any kind) that expresses candidae .... we consider the stitched-together lyrics of HOF to be a koob

Please help us take High on Fire to 5 million plays by the end of 2013. I suggest "Baghdad"

Furious live. Pike looked fucking insane when he was playing, and his solos sounded orgasmic.

Skullcrushing live in Bergen, they played 10 000 years -my fave. Matt Pike is so metal, Des the drummer was insanely good, and the bassist Jeff was so heavy and totally a fun to watch live. One of the best gigs I´ve ever been to! gotta see them again.

Yeah, the Oslo gig was great as well. Left with Snakes for the Divine stuck on my mind, which honestly I wouldn't have guessed was going to happen ever...

Glasgow gig was fucking mental. Jeffs amp started smoking second song. Matt Pike noted "He's so metal his amp just started on fire".
