The HIGH ON FIRE Guitar Solo Contest Winners Announced!

In June we teamed up with Gear Gods, 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 album Luminiferous, 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:

Although we weren’t planning on selecting a runner-up and don’t have a prize for him, Matt Pike liked Andrew Holbert’s entry so much that we’ve decided to give him an honorary mention. Here’s his submission:

Thank you to everyone who entered, and thanks to eOne, Dunlop and Gear Gods!
