On March 8th, Oakland, California sludge metal trio HIGH ON FIRE will release their new album, Snakes For The Divine, in Europe via Century Media Records (under exclusive license from E1 Music).

Now, the band has launched a brand-new track at its official MySpace page, so head over to this location, (scroll down a bit in the player) and get pummelled to death by the 'Frost Hammer'.

The cover artwork for Snakes For The Divine was done by longtime High On Fire cover artist Arik Moonhawk and perfectly captures the album’s enigmatic title.

The band’s fifth album and follow-up to 2007’s Death Is The Communion was recorded at The Pass Studios in Los Angeles with producer Greg Fidelman. Snakes For The Divine is High On Fire’s magnum opus: sharper, faster and darker than anything the group has ever recorded! Snakes For The Divine is an unrelenting tour de force, showcasing cult guitar hero Matt Pike’s utterly unique and inventive musicianship and the band’s epic, thundering sound. Premium production by Fidelman – the man who produced SLAYER's World Painted Blood and is mixing the upcoming METALLICA live album – boosts High On Fire’s strength and power while blackened lyrical tales of ancient wars, frozen planets and doomed societies emerge from Pike’s bellowing barks and throaty war cries.

'Snakes For The Divine'
