The tour is in support of High On Fire's new album, Cometh the Storm, which was released on April 19, 2024 via MNRK Heavy. Band member Matt Pike spoke about the album in an exclusive interview with V13 Net on June 3, 2024. When asked about the album's title and how it relates to real life crises, he stated:
“There is a lot of things to sing about in the world and usually I don’t sing too politically or anything but I sang about the times metaphorically on this one, a lot about nuclear war and it being talked about as if it’s a normalcy in life like we’ve had a lot of them. No, we haven’t and no-one wins that in the world economic forum."
The guitarist continued:
"Also the people who are trying to gain power because they have all the trees… okay, so if you’re worried about the environment, how do we pay all 12 trillion trees back for their skins? It’s just contradictory to like what they would like the rest of us to live by."
The guitarist ended his response:
"I have a disagreement with that and I think most people do so it was nice to get some of our feelings out just through playing and to have some hope out of the whole thing. It sucks when you don’t know if you are ever going to play again.”
High On Fire is best known for their eighth studio album, Electric Messiah, which was released on October 5, 2018. The album won the Best Metal Performance award at the 2019 Grammy Awards.
