Perhaps you, like Pitchfork's Brandon Stosuy (and, I should add, your reporter), have been warming to High on Fire's Death Is This Communion since its September release, and are now contemplating your next move. Mining the band's back catalog for more Oaktown commotion? Well, sure, that's always a good place to start. Partaking of some mind-expanding pyrotechnics? Better to leave that to the professionals. Checking out a live show? Now you're talking.

High on Fire have a bit of a bifurcated schedule over the coming months, which begins later this week with the band's headlining trek of the States. The trio will pick back up in April, this time on the fantastically-named GIGANTOUR where they'll join Megadeth, In Flames, Children of Bodom, and Job for a Cowboy. Wait, isn't being a cowboy a job in and of itself? Eh, less logic, more METAL.
