High on Fire took home the GRAMMY for Best Metal Performance earlier this year for “Electric Messiah,” the title track from the group’s 2018 album of the same name. High on Fire joins the ranks of groups such as Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Metallica and Slayer as winners of the prestigious award, presented by The Recording Academy to recognize achievements in the music industry.
“We never really needed an award for doing what we love,” says frontman Matt Pike.“Twenty-one years later, we finally got this. Thank you to the Academy.” Pike went on to thank producer Kurt Ballou among others. Bassist Jeff Matz sent out a heartfelt shoutout to long-time manager and friend Nick John who passed away last year.
In April, High on Fire released Bat Salad, a vinyl EP exclusive for Record Store Day. The limited-edition release contains three tracks: the new original, “Bat Salad,” along with covers of the Celtic Frost classic “Into The Crypts of Rays,” and Bad Brains’ “Don’t Bother Me.” Originally released solely on vinyl, ‘Bat Salad’ will now be made available digitally on Friday, July 26.
