Electric Messiah is the eighth studio album by American metal band High on Fire, released on October 5, 2018 through Entertainment One Music. It is the band's third album to be produced by Kurt Ballou,[2] and it serves as a tribute to Lemmy Kilmister of the band Motörhead.[3] On August 6, 2018, Electric Messiah's title track was released early for streaming.[4] On October 3, 2018, the band released "Spewn from the Earth" as the album's second single.[5]

Background

In July 2018, a few months after High on Fire frontman Matt Pike's other primary band, Sleep, released its comeback album,[6] Electric Messiah was announced.[7] Pike called it "the best album we've ever done, by far", and described its flow as "one stream of High on Fire consciousness".[1]
