GIVEAWAY: Win a Copy of High on Fire’s De Vermis Mysteriis

[PLEASE NOTE: This contest is now closed. Thanks to all who entered.]

What you see above — artfully placed on my desk with a shadow in the upper left hand corner as if to remind us of the ever-looming spectre of Matt Pike‘s guitar tone — are three copies of High on Fire‘s newest album, De Vermis Mysteriis. I’d like to get rid of them as soon as possible.

The album officially hits streets next Tuesday, but the fortunes of doom have smiled brightly on my humble form and granted me these CDs for giveaway purposes. To win a copy, just leave a comment on this post and make sure your email is entered. If you win, I’ll email and ask for your address. I know I said this last time, but I don’t recommend you leave your address in the comments here. Call me paranoid.

If you’d like to know more about De Vermis Mysteriis, you can check out the review here, but really, I would think “Free High on Fire” is enough of a draw, so please, do it up.

Normally I’d let this go for a week, but because I want to give you a better chance of actually getting the CD by the release date, I’m going to pick winners Friday and mail out the discs Saturday, assuming everyone gets back to me with their address on time.

Thanks to all who enter, and thanks to E1 for the hookup.
