Title: Abrasive, full throttle rock that must be heard
Product review: Combining abrasive and heavy drums with some chugging riffs, "Blessed Black Wings" finds High on Fire at their apex. With a raw sound that is reminiscent of Motorhead, "Blessed Black Wings" features some pummeling songs that will make any long time hard rock and metal fan put the devil ears in the air with pride. Opening track "Devilution" is a prime example of this, while "The Face of Oblivion" and the title track are standouts as well. The closing "Sons of Thunder" is hypnotic in it's delivery, and is a great stoner-esque cut that is the album's highlight. The only problem with "Blessed Black Wings" is that it will leave you wanting more, which isn't such a bad thing. All in all, "Blessed Black Wings" finds High on Fire improving on their previous releases ("Art of Self Defense" and "Surrounded by Thieves", which are great as well), and this album is a perfect starting point for new fans to the band.
