Baroness are concluding the final tour dates of a year of touring and stellar headline shows. Last night, in Nottingham, UK, at the end of the show, Gina Gleason (celebrating a birthday) passed her White and Tortoise Shell Fender guitar into the crowd for them to pass it around and someone ran off with it.
In a now-deleted post, have pleaded for the guitar’s safe return, no questions asked. Perhaps it has been returned but if you have a lead on the guitar, please contact Baroness. The band continues to tour behind Stone(Abraxan Hymns)Continue reading

ALBUM REVIEW: Baroness – Stone
Since the music of Baroness has been unlike any other band to me, and more akin to a spiritual experience since I first got into them in 2007, I set the mood for myself before listening. I turned the lights down low, cracked the window open to get a nice breeze going, and heard the sound of large late summer raindrops filling my ears. The city’s heartbeat in the deep background was the only other sound besides my breathing. I just stared at the new album artwork for five straight minutes. At peace for a change, in the still and calm of myself, and by chance, present in the city of my birth for a few days, I hit play on the promo and then let the first notes hit me.

ALBUM REVIEW: Baroness – Gold & Grey
Baroness is back with a new album, and once again it is one of the centerpieces of the release schedule for this year. Still, a band that does things on their own terms, in a DIY punk rock way, but still creating heady music for music lovers by music lovers. Gold & Grey (Abraxan Hymns) is an album that arrives with a justified glow of hype, especially following Purple. The former album is actually the standard Ghost Cult uses in our grading system as “perfect”, in case you had been wondering about what kind of esteem we hold this band. Continue reading
