Awesome looking variant, matches the rest of the album art very well. My copy sounds excellent!

The thing about High on Fire is they had so many great producers, you can't stop with just one album. You play a Kurt Ballou record, and you're like "Now I gotta hear a Billy Anderson record" or, "now I gotta hear the Albini record." Did Sabbath do that? Did Priest? No.

That said, I think this Jack Endino record is my favorite. HOF always brings the songs, and the production is a treat.

This sounds pretty rad. I don't have an original pressing to compare though.. Everything sounds punchy, clear, nice bass. I'm not usually big on the coloured vinyl but this one looks really cool. There was one big looking pressing flaw/divot right through side C to D but doesn't affect playing. Gatefold sleeve & artwork is perfect too.

I'm assuming this is the one I have, purchased from amazon.com.au 10 July 2021. Sounds bloody huge, great pressing. But yeah, the general lack of identifying info on blacvk vinyl High On Fire releases on Discogs makes it hard to pinpoint this is the one I have. It's most likely based on purchase date.

Bonus DVD filmed by bay area legend, Hashthrash aka Killthatcat, aka best independent heavy music archivist I've ever known.

Great pressing...no noise, lots of loud...perfect mix and perfectly flat...Not quite as punchy bass and drums as my white copy of Electric Messiah, but its close.

Raw, heavy and dirty. Great album on a good pressing.
