HIGH FIGHTER reveal new video from Svart Records debut

Hamburg-based sludge/stoner metallers High Fighter have just returned from a quick tour with Elder in October, a busy festival summer with live appearances at such events as Summer Breeze Festival, Desertfest Berlin, Up in Smoke, and alongside many more shows and tours around Europe in 2016, with their critically acclaimed debut album, Scars & Crosses, which came out this summer on Svart Records. And now, High Fighter have just released a brand-new video for the album track “Darkest Days“!

In the typical High Fighter manner, this new video comes like the previous visual works of the band, in a 100% DIY production. Fuzzy, dark, lots of headbanging, and with a wild soundmix of bluesy stoner riffs, screams you will feel to your bone, and some heavy sludge tunes, get on your next trip with High Fighter below.

As vocalist Mona Miluski explains, “Since we’re releasing this video today, exactly two years ago when we unveiled the band to the public and released our first EP that day, so many great moments, shows, new friends and experiences followed for us, I see this new video for ‘Darkest Days’ as some cool and trippin’ summary of two more-than-amazing years of our short and young band history already. Our bassist Constantin again did such great job on the video! He edited it all by himself, and it’s again a pure do-it-yourself production. We used several live footage from our shows the past two years, and took some behind the scenes from tours and when we’ve been on the road. It’s a very dark track and video but also visually weird, wild, and psychedelic on the other hand. But that’s what you get with High Fighter and on our album Scars & Crosses in general. It’s not an easy-listening record; it’s more of a trip, and there’s also a lot of pain and beauty happening to the same time. Choosing the track ‘Darkest Days’ for a new video of High Fighter has only been a matter, of course, sound-wise, we all dig that song, from the lyrics’ perspective and its representation of our album vibe, but then this heavy contrast which comes with the visual footage of two awesome years with High Fighter. Seems we love contrasts!“

High Fighter formed in the summer of 2014, but with their volatile cocktail of heavy-as-hell riffs, the blues, and these deadly schizophrenic vocals, the band already offer something new to the sludge, blues, doom, and stoner metal scene. After their critically acclaimed debut EP, The Goat Ritual (2014), followed by numerous shows all over Europe and the UK, including festivals, gigs, and tours with bands such as Ahab, Mammoth Storm, Crowbar, Corrosion of Conformity, The Midnight Ghost Train, Earth Ship, and many more, High Fighter released their first full-length album, Scars & Crosses, on June 10th, 2016 on Svart Records.
