High on Fire have announced their first album in six years and ninth overall. The LP, titled Cometh the Storm, will arrive on April 19th, and includes the just-released first single “Burning Down.”
Cometh the Storm serves as the highly-anticipated follow-up to 2018’s Electric Messiah. The 11-song album was recorded at GodCity Studio in Salem, Massachusetts, and produced by Converge guitarist Kurt Ballou.
The album is the first High on Fire LP to feature drummer Coady Willis, who joined the band in 2021. The trio is rounded out by founding frontman Matt Pike and longtime bassist Jeff Matz.
“‘Burning Down’ kicks off with a classic Pike riff,” said Matz of the first single. “I think this song harkens back to the early High on Fire sound, but infused with fresh, new elements. It has a killer groove that you can really sink into.”

Melvins drummer Dale Crover is set to undergo emergency spinal surgery and will sit out the band’s upcoming “Twins of Evil” tour with Boris.
The news was revealed Wednesday morning (August 23rd) via Melvins’ Facebook page. Filling in for Crover behind the kit will be Coady Willis, who played drums for the Melvins from 2006 to 2015.
The band’s social media statement read:
“We are sad to announce that literally days before leaving on tour, our drummer Dale Crover learned he needed immediate emergency spinal surgery which will take him out of commission for months. He’s doing as well as can be expected considering the severity of the situation.
The one stroke of luck in all this was that Coady Willis part of the Melvins’ family for 8+ years, who literally trained in sitting by Dale’s side on too many tours to count is able to step in and take over on drums.
