High On Fire Luminiferous eOne Music Released: 6.23.15 *You can find that here . **The PARENTAL ADVISORY label that mars an otherwise very cool album cover I believe refers more to the album's content than its use of bad language.  There's very little profanity. ***Her words, not mine. High On Fire's Luminiferous is an excellent follow-up to the also brilliant De Vermis Mysteriis and should qualify for many of this year's Best Of lists beyond the metal categorization.  I don't know how High On Fire keeps doing it, but the band's high-intensity output is consistently good.
