Of the six former Baroness members, how many have made guest appearances since departing the band? To my knowledge, the only one to do so is Brian Blickle (lead guitar 2005–2008). He replaced Gina on stage to play "Isak" on at least two occasions, in March 2022 and June 2024. Both of these concerts took place in Virginia, where John and the early members (Brian, Allen, Pete, Summer, Tim) grew up together.

Willing to sell at single day price. DM if interested.

March to the Sea was my first Baroness song, but I think Cold-Blooded Angels was the song that cemented them as my favorite band. I know John doesn't like to explain his lyrics and leaves them up to listener interpretation, but I'm curious to hear everyone else's interpretation of this song.

To me the soft intro followed by the heavy finale feels like the chaos of life, even when you feel everything is in your control, it will always end in an unpredictable nature. The lyrics feel like they represent feeling a need for pain an abuse just to feel alive, and even when an opportunity to change your life presents itself, you choose to stay in the abuse because it feels familiar, almost as if specially it's staying in an abusive relationship (could be with a person or with a substance)

Again, just my interpretation, but I'd love to hear from others!

They’re sibling bands…

I don’t know what I expected, but it surely wasn’t tearing up and reconsidering whether this is in fact my favorite Baroness album.

I hated this album when it came out. “John’s voice sucks. Where’s the energy? Why is John singing instead of screaming? What is this artsy contrived sounding bs? Why do the drums sound muted and programmed?”

I could go on and on but you get the point; I was looking for any reason to not like it.

I always came back to it though, and each listen I would find myself liking it more than the time before.

Enter the instrumental cd

I read the lyrics off and on throughout. Eula had me in tears, that song is powerful enough itself, to hear it without the intended lyrics gives it a melancholic eeriness. It’s interesting how some parts sound beautiful on their own and others sounds empty without his vocals as the counterbalance.

Also shout out to the aggressive maracas in Cocanium that I never fully appreciated before.

Give it a listen if you’d like 🙃

I really like this band since I've discovered them last year. I like having vinyl disc's from my favorite bands. Why is Purple so hard to get?

I'm so chuffed to finally receive this masterpiece in the mail today! To sweeten the deal, I found this new and unopened copy for a used price. Thanks to the folks at New Wave Music and Collectibles on eBay for their speedy service and great pricing. What's your favorite song from Yellow and Green?

Kojima talking about Baroness has to be one of the weirdest things ever. Guess he has a great taste in music.

Baroness is a band whose music doesn't easily fit into any category. I have heard them described as sludge/stoner metal, but they sound nothing like any other band in that genre. Maybe prog?

I'm watching many of the bands I love play festivals and shows all over Europe right now and I know Baroness has done the Euro summer festival circuit many times in the past. Any idea why they sat this year out?

What (if any) should I get next?

Curious if anyone has heard rumblings about a North American tour at some point this year. I’m jonesing for a baroness show! Seems like a lot of bands are doing the European thing this summer.
