Best Albums Of The Decade(2000-2009): #13

13,High On Fire-Blessed Black Wings(2005)

High On Fire's first two releases were great, but it wasn't until their 3rd album Blessed Black Wings that they hit masterpiece status. What struck me from the beginning about Blessed Black Wings was how much cleaner the production was than their past releases. The mix is fantastic and everything is loud and clear. Of course, Matt Pike drops amazing riffs left and right. Blessed Black Wings actually contains the best riff he has ever written with "Cometh Down Hessian" High On Fire are stoner metal/sludge titans and Blessed Black Wings is their most crushing and wonderful release to date.
