High On Fire have announced a new tour of Europe and the UK for summer 2024, amid teases of a new album coming soon.
The stoner metal power trio announced yesterday (January 30) that they will play a series of shows across the continent in June and July. Cities and dates have been revealed and are available below, although venues still remain a mystery.
The announcement comes mere days after bassist Jeff Matz posted a photo of himself holding test pressings of the band’s as-yet-unannounced ninth studio album on High On Fire’s Instagram.
In the post, Matz confirmed Kurt Ballou was once again involved in the album. The Converge guitarist has produced the band’s every album since 2012’s De Vermis Mysteriis. The bassist also namedropped Alan Douches, who’s mastered three of High On Fire’s albums: 2007’s Death Is This Communication, De Vermis Mysteriis and 2018’s Electric Messiah.
Matz wrote in full: “I just listened to the vinyl test press of the new High On Fire album, it sounds incredible and I can’t wait for you all to hear it. Kurt Ballou and Alan Douches really helped make this a sonically striking piece of work.”
The title track of Electric Messiah, High On Fire’s most recent album, won the Grammy Award For Best Metal Performance in 2019.
High On Fire’s ninth album will be the first with drummer Coady Willis, who joined in 2019.
