Savannah, Georgia, USA (2003 – present)

Baroness plays an eclectic brand of heavy metal, embracing the ferocity and sharp technique of new-millennium metal but with melodic accents and intelligent guitar work that suggests the influence of sludge and post-punk bands.

The forceful BARONESS formed in the Summer 2003 in Savannah, GA with all members, past and present, hailing from Lexington, VA in the foothills of the mighty Blue Ridge Mountains . Maybe that’s where the band draws inspiration for their majestic music, or maybe their noble noise is inspired by their name, or maybe its just when these four band-mates come together the end result is always bold and impressive.

With a sound built upon a resolute sense of purpose and shaped by hundreds of explosive live shows, BARONESS position themselves at the forefront of heavy music with their first full length and Relapse debut Red Album. Red Album - coming September 4th -is at once powerful, expressive, confident, and commanding. The record sees the band expand its sonic vision; colossal riffs and haunting vocals roll like thunder across epic songs spanning both the intense and the sublime. As with each BARONESS recording, Red Album was recorded at the Jam Room Studio in Columbia, SC w/ producer Phillip Cope and engineers Jay Matheson and Steve Slavich.

BARONESS has forged forward with heavy independent touring -almost 250 shows a year - since the band’s inception. They’ve criss-crossed the U.S. three times, Europe, and the UK twice, and have performed at international music festivals such as SXSW, MacRock, ZXZW in The Netherlands, and more. BARONESS has toured with many friends and peers, including MUNICIPAL WASTE, TORCHE, KYLESA, ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY, CURSED, THE HOLY MOUNTAIN, and many more.

They both have their own identities, sure, but they both carry that Georgia stoner metal sound to a certain degree. To say they've gone on completely divergent paths is absurd, especially considering War, Wisdom, and Rhyme sounds like a Blood Mountain b-side.

The beginning of The Sweetest Curse is pure BA. Swollen and Halo, along with A Horse Called Golgotha are also sick songs, and the end of The Gnashing is just beautiful.

i'd suggest stop spending time comparing, and spend more time listening! Blue Record is so fantastic.

The only correlation between Baroness-Mastodon I can listen just in Remission and First/Second then those bands go on their own way. And damn, if only there were other bands like these >.<

I like Mastodon as well as Baroness, but Baroness are infinitely better. And they DO have their own sound. People need to stop with the comparisons.

"these guys are gonna go the way of Mastodon, i think. First/Second = Remission, Red Album = Leviathan, Blue Record = Blood Mountain... but i guess we'll see for sure when they release another record...." Erm. That's probably the worst comparison I've ever seen on this site. Those albums don't correlate with each other at all. Contrary to popular belief, Baroness DOES have their own sound.

I'm only half way through Blue Record and I'm extremely impressed. Mastodon is going to have some competition, from what I can see.

Este 2009 fue un año que en lo musical nos dejo grandes discos, en lo personal muchas bandas a las cuales no les había prestado atención en ocasiones anteriores me han cambiado por completo la opinión que tenia hacia ellas, en cambio, otras a las cuales les venia siguiendo desde hace tiempo me han defraudado. A continuación un recuento de lo que en mi opinión personal son los 10 discos mas destacados del 2009. Top 10 2009 - Factor Metal | Leer el articulo Completo Grupo Factor Metal en Last.fm
