The iconic sludge metal shredder, Matt Pike, continues to prove why he’s one of the greats with the unrelenting High On Fire. Founded in Oakland in 1998, this sludge metal act is in a league of their own with an armory of heavy albums in their back pocket, ready to melt faces and rot brains. Truthfully, it’s a miracle Pike is still alive with the crazy life he has lived, so for those who haven’t seen him play, this show is a perfect opportunity. Plus, they’re playing with the Motorhead-loving Charger and Bastardane featuring Castor Hetfield, son of Metallica frontman James Hetfield.
