| I saw HoF opening for OPETH many months back, and they are definitely a killer live band! I have grabbed all of their stuff now and list myself as a fan. They reminded me of a cross between ANVIL and VENOM when I saw them! |

What do you think of Pike as a guitarist? It takes a lot to impress me in my old age, but he does. |

| He's pretty cool and unique without being overtly technical. His style was very loose and flowing |

| Ive loved sleep since the early 90's, as for High on fire its ok but more or less a Motorhead rip off, Al's band kills High on fire, Om is brilliance and is a huge influence on my own band, Sleep=High on fire-Om-Noothgrush Also Al has a new band with Scott kelly (Neurosis), Dale crover and Wino called Shrine builder, i cannot wait for this release _________________ Bringer Of Doom, Your Friendly Neighborhood Drone Dealer Within The Torn Apart http://www.myspace.com/cbfdibDR(((((((O)))))))NE(((((((ON Jesus! Bad waves of paranoia madness, fear and loathing, intolerable vibrations in this place. Get out! The weasels were closing in. I could smell the ugly brutes |

I would say that Motorhead is an influence, but I definitely don't see them as a rip off. Recently I tried to describe their sound to someone and said that if Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Venom & Celtic Frost had a child...it would be High On Fire.
Their sound continues to develop from album to album. It took me awhile to digest all their material, but I've come to really like all their records. I think they will do even better things in the future. |

| In May 2009, Sleep reformed to perform two exclusive and never to be repeated reunion sets in England as part of the All Tomorrow's Parties music festival. I think this is what detuned is speaking of, it already happened, sadly it was not in america _________________ Bringer Of Doom, Your Friendly Neighborhood Drone Dealer Within The Torn Apart http://www.myspace.com/cbfdibDR(((((((O)))))))NE(((((((ON Jesus!

| Not familiar with Sleep, but I'm slowly becoming a High on Fire fan. Took awhile before I got accustomed to the vocals. Harsh, but certainly not unlistenable. I'll be keeping an eye out for more of their stuff. |
