The last we heard, a new High on Fire wasn’t due until winter of 2015. Now we know for sure that the band will be recording early next year.

From a recent press release:

“Immediately following the east coast run, HIGH ON FIRE will enter Salem, Massachusetts’ GodCity Studios with producer Kurt Ballou to record its new, as-yet-untitled studio album. Earlier this year, the group convened for strategic writing sessions in both New Orleans, LA and Oakland, CA, with early reports indicating the band’s new material to be both “epic” and “sonically huge”. A 2015 release date via eOne Music will be announced soon for the new LP.”

The band will begin recording their as-of-yet unnamed follow up to 2012’s De Vermis Mysteriis after a short run of east coast tour dates.
