Surrounded by Thieves is the second studio album by American heavy metal band High on Fire.
It was featured on a 7" split with Mastodon's "March of the Fire Ants" and had a music video which aired on Uranium and MTV's Headbangers Ball.
AllMusic's Brian O'Neill awarded the album 4.5 out of 5 stars, calling it "relentless" and suggesting that every song was "an epic that rolls like sinister thunder across the landscape.
"[1] O'Neill noted that there was "not much variation" on the album but added that variety isn't necessary "when you get locked into a groove this good."
He went on to praise the band for being able to "only operate according to its own whims" while also making "organic and monstrous music".
