Album Review

There isn't exactly a plethora of metal bands in the early 21st century that are eager to mix indie rock sounds into their noise, which makes the Savannah, GA-based quartet Baroness stand out from the overcrowded metallic pack. On their first-ever full-length release (and first for the Relapse label), 2007's The Red Album, the riffs are quite reminiscent of guitar-driven, post-hardcore bands out of the mid-'90s (a style which would later serve as the basis for emo bands several years later), while singer/guitarist John Baizley only knows one way to vocalize: holler, holler, holler. Think a more metallic Fugazi or Sunny Day Real Estate, and you're not far off from the brand of rock & roll that Baroness specializes in, as evidenced by such standouts as "The Birthing" and "Wanderlust." The Red Album shows that Baroness is one of a select number of acts that manage to be both mathematical and melodic at the same time.

Modern Metal evolution

I love this band. Baroness brings the intensity of Mastodon and combines it with the sonic landscapes built by isis, the results are visceral, expansive and excellent. Metal has evolved.

Its purely amazing

Melodic and heavy are two great words to try and encompas the Baroness sound, but both fail in the end. This band has a fantastic thing going for them by trying something that few other artists attempt. And they're great at it.
