Pike Vs. The Automaton - Pike Vs. The Automaton - CD DIGIPAK

From rewriting the hard rock rulebook with his award-winning trio High on Fire, to reverse engineering doom metal with his genre-defi ning trio Sleep, Matt Pike has channeled his natural talents and chiseled a steely path straight to the heart of modern- day metal’s molten core. Born out of the challenges brought on by a worldwide pandemic, birthed under hellish red-orange skies bred from rampaging west coast wildfi res, and built amidst the yearlong political riots and rallies in Portland, OR, Pike’s solo debut, ‘Pike vs.Automaton’, is both a musical and emotional release. The record was written by Pike with drummer Jon Reid, features contributions from a slew of family and friends, and was recorded with longtime conspirator Billy Anderson, the producer who brought the best out of Pike previously on touchstone titles such as ‘Surrounded by Thieves’ and ‘Sleep’s Holy Mountain’.
