And The Winner of the HIGH ON FIRE Guitar Solo Contest Is…..

In June we teamed up with MetalSucksMetal InjectionDunlop 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.
