18. High On Fire - 'Blessed Black Wings' (2005). Matt Pike's thundering Oakland fuzz-metal trio was already a finely tuned machine by the time they got around to recording their third album, especially when they recruited Melvins veteran Joe Preston to play bass on the album. In Albini's hands, they sounded fiercer and more terrifying than ever before, and to my ears, 'Blessed Black Wings' still stands as their finest moment.
