    The band's post-thrash attack still levels steel, but minor tweaks--snakefinger solos ("Slave the Hive"), waltz tempos ("The Sunless Years"), thrash dynamics ("Luminiferous"), and psychedelic haze ("The Cave")--bolt a crushing new frame on a classic chassis.

    Much like their most obvious influence Motorhead, High On Fire have found a formula that works for them and they largely stick to it.

    Luminiferous burns hard, but it’s searching for an attitude adjustment that could make the flames grow higher.
