The power trio that sounds like an entire army is back, this time with a full-length on Relapse Records. Make sure to stay indoors, close your windows, and protect your loved ones, because once this army of dark, medieval warriors storms over town, there's not going to be much left of it.
If a thunderstorm were able to produce music, it would sound something like High On Fire. With Surrounded By Thieves, the spirit of Black Sabbath is revived, driven by double the horsepower. Matt Pike's (ex-Sleep) widely expanded riffs drag you down to the depths of darkness. A place ruled by demons, wolves, and other monstrous creatures that seem to take pleasure in pounding oversized drums with hammers.
There's room for long, epic songs like The Yeti and Thraft Of Caanan, while the shorter outbursts like Razor Hoof, and Hung, Drawn And Quartered take HOF to their highest level of power. The overall sound is somewhat muffled, something that seems to be obligatory when producing a stoner metal band these days. Even when there are countless other ways of creating the threatening atmosphere of evil. The cloudy production, however, does give us a good forecast of what is about to come. Very heavy weather.
