In June we teamed up with MetalSucks, Metal Injection, Dunlop and eOne Music to bring you a sweet guitar solo competition from High On Fire. The rules were simple: download the backing track for the High on Fire song “The Black Plot” — from their new albumLuminiferous, out now via eOne — record yourself playing the solo, then upload your track to our contest Soundcloud group. Then Matt Pike himself would listen to all the entries and choose his favorite.
Pike has gone through all the submissions and the results are in! But first, the prizes:
– CD copy of High on Fire’s new album “Luminiferous”
– High on Fire “Luminiferous” poster
– MXR M169 Carbon Copy
– MXR M101 Phase 90
– MXR M109 Six Band Graphic EQ
– 1 Box (6 sets) Dunlop Heavy Core Guitar Strings (winner choice of gauge; )
– Refill Bag Tortex Picks (winner choice of shape & gauge)
– MetalSucks t-shirt
– Metal Injection t-shirt
And the winner is… theghost81! Check out his entry below:

We know you all worked really hard on your entries, and we appreciate every single one who participated and put in their time. Thanks for helping to make this contest a fun time!
