With a heavy-hoofed gallop, the gargantuan High On Fire bash out towering dimensions of sound on their second album 'Surrounded By Thieves', originally released in 2002. Burning down the pillars of time with quadrupled intensity, High On Fire inject tonal infectiousness as the mammoth, plaster-cracking guitar and throaty war cries of founding member Matt Pike (Sleep) interlock with elephantine bass grooves and cannon-like percussion, creating the last word in paralysis by sheer volume.
