High on Fire: Snakes for the Divine “Frost Hammer”

So so so fucking stoked on this release. High on Fire released a single, entitled “Frost Hammer” off their forthcoming album, Snakes for the Divine, last Friday. Following the masterpiece, Death is this Communion, the band seems to be in top-notch shape for producing their 5th album; a self-proclaimed magnum opus. Matt Pike’s sounding great, as are Des Kensel’s drums and this first single is killer. Unsurprisingly, artist Arik Roper, returns to adorn yet another release with beautiful cover art. Damn. Roper’s the man! Here’s Roper’s description on the inspiration for Snakes for the Divine:

This cover idea was loosely conceived by the band: The snakes representing “sin” and the woman having some biblical allusions ( Eve and Lilith).
