Sludge Metal Juggernaut, HIGH FIGHTER, To Release Limited Tape Edition of 2014-Debut EP “The Goat Ritual”!
Hamburg- based Sludge and Stoner Metal act, HIGH FIGHTER, has announced a limited Tape edition of their critically acclaimed, 2014- debut EP “The Goat Ritual“.
Recorded on one weekend in the band’s rehearsal room, HIGH FIGHTER’s first and self-released EP took the heavy music scene by storm, and gained the band not just high praise from both fans and critics alike, but also opened the stages on tours with bands alike AHAB, GREENLEAF, THE MIDNIGHT GHOST TRAIN as well as Europe’s finest underground festivals such as Sonic Blast, Stoned From The Underground, Desertfest Berlin, Red Smoke Festival and many more. During the past 6 years, the band continued to heavily tour Europe with acts such as CONAN, DOWNFALL OF GAIA, ELDER or DOPETHRONE, and appeared at Wacken Open Air, Desertfest London & Antwerp, Summer Breeze, Keep It Low, Up in Smoke and countless more.
With the “The Goat Ritual”, HIGH FIGHTER introduced themselves to the world of Stoner Rock, Doom and Sludge Metal, and perfectly set the scene for their wild ride of styles and fast-paced hardcore based Stoner Metal. While the record, with its stunning cover artwork, was released exactly 6 years ago on Bandcamp and as Vinyl and CD formats, December 4th 2020 will see HIGH FIGHTER’s debut EP coming out as a limited Tape edition on Argonauta Records but also appearing on Spotify for the first time ever! This is a Must-Have record for any Stoner, Sludge, Heavy Rock and Doom Metal fan, but better be quick to pre-order your copy, as the Cassettes will most definitely run out fast at THIS LOCATION!
In the summer of 2019, HIGH FIGHTER released their second full-length album, “Champain”, on Argonauta Records. And it seems, the past couple of years and life on the road has impacted them in a huge way. As their latest album has a heavier and “pissed-off” vibe compared to their first records. HIGH FIGHTER evolved, and today it‘s a different band that announced their arrival in 2014 with their debut EP followed by the 2016- album “Scars & Crosses”. “Champain” isn’t for the faint hearted, and its sound creates an eerie and gloomy atmosphere where the mood can be pitch-black in places. The soaring and brutal riffs on “Champain” allow vocalist Mona Miluski to show her impressive vocal range, from Death Metal growls, mean screams to her Stoner Rock, Soul and Blues roots. Watch the band’s latest, self-produced music video, to the album opening track “Before I Disappear” here:
Furthermore, HIGH FIGHTER have just announced a postponed festival appearance from 2020 at VAGOS METAL FEST to return next summer. They will be playing the Portuguese metal festival alongside acts such as Emperor, Dimmu Borgir, Exodus, Testament and many more. Find out more infos HERE!
HIGH FIGHTER also recently played an exclusive “Offstage“ show for German TV, WDR Rockpalast. This very special “Corona” concert in a unique setting at the Landschaftspark Duisburg, will be airing on TV on November 9th, but has just been premiered online at THIS LOCATION!
