High on Fire - Death is this Communion 2007 [Heavy Metal]

On the fourth HoF album (and the first with new member Jeff Matz - who remains in the band to this day) was the moment I think when the classic HoF sound emerged.

From pitchfork: To the collection (and Jack's) credit, it ends up a deflating experience listening to 2005's Blessed Black Wings in tandem. At the time of the earlier album's release, it seemed like Joe Preston's bass and Steve Albini's production had given High on Fire their most monumental, thunderous sound to date, but weirdly, it's pretty limp in comparison. Musically, Blessed Black was punkier, and in restrospect, the songwriting just isn't as good.
