It's like The Doors and Mastodon got together and jammed the fuck out!! Baroness are and always will be one of the most unique and interesting bands out there.. 🤘😁🤘
Waaaay better sounding then the last album imo- the production on that was horrible and there were just too many songs that weren’t very strong- so far these two new ones are pretty good
I really got into Mastodon in the early 2000’s. Then I came across Baroness. What a fantastic band. The drum and bass support is phenomenal. Lyrics and guitar are the cherry on top.
This!!!! Was always a fan of sludge and prog. But these guys just sort of missed me somehow. Then I heard the Shock Me solo... instantly thought of Thin Lizzy. Been in love since.
@@dirtbagdaryl You familiar with the Blue Record , First and Second, or the Red Album. ? Their sludgiest albums IMHO. War Wisdom and Rhyme murders 🤘! Edit - Morning star was the standout on Purple for me
Evil intro, gnarly riffs, exciting harmonies, unique and unsettling verse vocal, beautiful chorus with acoustic embellishments, rhythm section as tight as ever, more sick riffs, angriest vocals in a hot minute, classic uplifting dual solo, triumphant outro, fascinating video. So thoroughly impressed by what this band has become. Unreal. ❤
The click of the lock The chime of the bell The groaning of timber And the etchings in my cell There's marks on the pavement There's chalk on the floor The choir invisible is knocking Knocking Knocking Knocking I wanna lie to you and tell you this is over I want to say this is for the best But when you're hanging from the rafters in my attic You know I'll never let you down This is not the hill that we die on Blood beneath the rose And now I'm caught between the thorns And I can't stop bleeding I've made a habit spilling secrets that I shouldn't But I've got holes between my teeth I wouldn't say I do this for a living I do my best to earn my keep This will not be the cross that we bear Blood beneath the rose And now I'm caught between the thorns And I can't stop the bleeding Everything you have And everything you need Everything is broken and The rest was meant to be I know this isn't easy but it's better late than forever You've got copper and clover on the back of my tongue I got the dust from your armor in my lungs And the choir invisible comes knocking, knocking
I tried to give this a proper listen at work , but immediately stopped it when I heard the spoken word portion. It was a complete “WTF” moment and warranted an uninterrupted, at home listen. Glad I waited. It feels fresh, but familiar in all the right ways. Can’t wait to shout along to this one in Detroit!
I dig it. Little bit different take than the comments I've parsed, though: I'm hearing a lot of 1980's thrash in the verses, with that gigantic Southern Melodic Sludge on the chorus. Like 1985 Megadeth meets 2015 Mastodon. It's not pastiche, though- the result is like a fully realized prog version of what a lot of early 2000's Post Hardcore bands were aiming at. That is- wholly unique, brutally heavy and beautifully harmonized music that defies all playlist attempts. I know, I know, real hot take, here, but this is why I'm a fan of Baroness- superiority through thoughtful savagery.
God damn that last minute or so of the track was just VISCERAL. Whatever inspired this track... that shit was real and it shows in the performances. WOW.
Much as Baroness is one of my forever favorite bands (Red Album got me through a thing or two), I can kind of see why they don't have *quite* that wide appeal. People aren't necessarily patient enough for the journey through their excellent music.
It's been 2 weeks and I can't stop looping this song and 'Last Word´. The evolution of this band is simply amazing. The end had such chlorine and wine feeling, gave me the chills
this feels so much like a fully realized melding of older and newer Baroness in ways that make use of the tension between the intensities of all the kinds of parts, and playing styles. Holy shit.
As much as I loved their more mellow work in the last ten years, seeing a new Baroness single release and opening with that riff got me nostalgic for the Red/Blue days.
My Lord! This band is incapable of producing a bad album. Seb and Josh killing it too on both new tracks so far. Drums are so clear and crisp! Bravo Baroness. Can't wait to hear the rest.
I'm enjoying the callback to Baroness older days from Blue Record. The song "O'er Hell and Hide" comes to mind. Baizley is an awesome writer! I'm super pumped for the new record!
The sound quality of this song is 10000 times better than in Gold & Grey and in the Purple album. No audible distortion and brickwalling at all. Great work Baroness! Can't wait for the whole album.
I think I'm in the minority thinking that Gold & Grey's production style was kind of cool and weird and different. It was I think meant to sound like broken electronics. That album is one of their most experimental, and I think people will look back on it better in the future. It feels like a psychedelic dream from start to finish, telling a strange abstract story that doesn't make any sense. And the weird production kind of fits aesthetically, for me.
Baroness have great harmonies that are reminiscent of Queen, Thin Lizzy etc... aside from buying the red album based on the art, this is the second thing that hooked me on 'em
The song is awesome. This should have been the first single although I know why it wasn’t due to the different singing approach at the top. And for the record, I am extremely elated with the production! This album will be in rotation.
Baroness at one point in my life was my favourite band. Around the Red and Blue albums. I haven’t been following them much the last 5 years. This is good.
Really stunned by the twists and turns (and the overall weirdness) of this song. Can't wait for the new record to drop! I'm sure it will be full of surprises. You guys (and girl) rock! Greetings from Colombia.
I was 31 when I started listening to Baroness. I first heard The Blue Record and was completely blown away by what I heard and felt. I'm 45 now and Baroness has been around some important moments in my life. I'll be seeing them for the first time in November here in Montreal and I cannot wait. Have all the albums and am gonna enjoy adding "Stone" to the collection.🤘❤💙💛💚💜🧡🤍
I think that Baroness is the last metal act to propose something different, ith a somewhat prog rock flavor; that's why I'm quite fond of them. I'm not sure if they have played in Mexico yet (I just found them a few years ago) but I would really like to watch them live.
Loving the fresh vocal approach ! JDB has great spoken cadence and I love how he’s still discovering new ways to express his vocals, this hits in new ways , he’s really using his full range at this new moment. . And GG is a fixture at this point . Gold and Grey was a little confounding , this is excellent all around !
Baroness have to have one of if not the most interesting arc in modern metal. Between member changes, life changes, and everything in between. I'll agree that G&G had its transitory feeling but the resulting growth is a marvel to behold.
Gorgeous guitar harmonies, killer riffs, biting vocals, and that dramatic build at the end---wow. Thanks for making the world a little better with your amazing music.
This full-bodied example from Baroness presents hints of Idles and Rollings, thrashing overtones of Metallica, wrapped in tendrils of Thin Lizzy, swimming deserty bottom legs harken early Queens of the Stone Age, timed by a metronome that is as much Baroness' calling card as the haunting smoky vocals. Appalachia-inspired Rope Sect dominates the visuals. A+ Fully expect this to join Baroness's premier flight as a great. I think I'll have another glass..
im digging the almost post punk esque vocals and style on this song very different but im always welcoming the change ups and the production and instrumentation sounds solid
If the rest of the songs are anywhere close to the first two, this will be an amazing record. Such an inventive direction on the two songs. This must be a new recording situation. No more muddy and distorted mix on these tracks like the last record. You guys have truly hit your stride. Can't wait to see you live!
This Is great. Loving the new vocal style on the verses and the final part where Gina doubles John. Great mix too. Really looking forward to the rest of the album
I fucking love yall. There is a story here, but needless to say. Every thing about all that you do is meaningful. Simply put....please do not ever stop creating..

Overdue for a Mastodon, Baroness, Red Fang tour tbh

this shit rules, love how different it is
Exactly! These guys keep reinventing themselves, and every new incarnation is better than the last! I love how unpredictable they are.
The mix is fucking beautiful in the new album
I liked the other mixes fine but I can even admit this is superior. Joe Baressi did a much better job than Friedmann.
For once
Waaaay better sounding then the last album imo- the production on that was horrible and there were just too many songs that weren’t very strong- so far these two new ones are pretty good
Didn't think it was possible for you guys to get any better, but here we fucking are!
I really got into Mastodon in the early 2000’s. Then I came across Baroness. What a fantastic band. The drum and bass support is phenomenal. Lyrics and guitar are the cherry on top.
I love that inbetween all the weirdness they're still finding a space for some of those Lizzy-esque guitar harmonies.

You said it!
Well said! Couldn’t agree more. 🤘🏿🖤🤘🏿
Baroness is that band you can never put under a single category, it has something for everyone.
Is nice to hear them bring the sludge back in though
The click of the lock
The chime of the bell
The groaning of timber
And the etchings in my cell
There's marks on the pavement
There's chalk on the floor
The choir invisible is knocking
Knocking
Knocking
Knocking
I wanna lie to you and tell you this is over
I want to say this is for the best
But when you're hanging from the rafters in my attic
You know I'll never let you down
This is not the hill that we die on
Blood beneath the rose
And now I'm caught between the thorns
And I can't stop bleeding
I've made a habit spilling secrets that I shouldn't
But I've got holes between my teeth
I wouldn't say I do this for a living
I do my best to earn my keep
This will not be the cross that we bear
Blood beneath the rose
And now I'm caught between the thorns
And I can't stop the bleeding
Everything you have
And everything you need
Everything is broken and
The rest was meant to be
I know this isn't easy but it's better late than forever
You've got copper and clover on the back of my tongue
I got the dust from your armor in my lungs
And the choir invisible comes knocking, knocking

Totally did the same! 😂
Baroness just scratches that itch so fucking well. Great song, can't wait for November to see them in Calgary. PUMPED!
Sabastion Thomas is an absolute monster and does not get enough recognition.
So new and different. So fucking epic. This album is going to be amazing.

just like Gojira & Mastodon.
Agreed.@@inkedskindeep9941
God damn that last minute or so of the track was just VISCERAL. Whatever inspired this track... that shit was real and it shows in the performances. WOW.
Biggest underrated band ever. How you guys are not mainstream (yet) amazes me
580k monthly on spotify - I'd say they've a solid fanbase.
@@bendavies9157 they've got indeed, but they are not in a Metallica or AC/DC level. Yet. They deserve more.
Much as Baroness is one of my forever favorite bands (Red Album got me through a thing or two), I can kind of see why they don't have *quite* that wide appeal. People aren't necessarily patient enough for the journey through their excellent music.
Leave them where they are please. I'd hate to see one of my favorite bands move into the shitty large venues
@@CarlosTourinho Is it really that good for a band to be at Metallica level, though?
This band is fucking awesome. I'd put them up there with Clutch, The Sword, Mastodon, and other similar artists. This is gonna be good.
Lol, Baroness are ways much more interesting and groundbreaking then what you listed to me.
It's been 2 weeks and I can't stop looping this song and 'Last Word´.
The evolution of this band is simply amazing.
The end had such chlorine and wine feeling, gave me the chills
Agreed! Just fantastic
Last word is so good
Randomly heard this on Sirius xm that came with a car I just bought. Never heard of them before but this is definitely good
this feels so much like a fully realized melding of older and newer Baroness in ways that make use of the tension between the intensities of all the kinds of parts, and playing styles. Holy shit.

Yeah, I don't think anyone was a fan of that production style. Glad to see they've moved past it.
I could handle the production in Purple and the songs were amazing. However, Gold & Grey was simply unlistenable. Hopefully Stone will be different.
I blame David Fridmann for that horrid sound on previous two albums. Don't know who's producing this one but I'll be surprised if it's still him.
I think I'm in the minority thinking that Gold & Grey's production style was kind of cool and weird and different. It was I think meant to sound like broken electronics.

Love the Thin Lizzyness @ 3.58
Baroness have great harmonies that are reminiscent of Queen, Thin Lizzy etc... aside from buying the red album based on the art, this is the second thing that hooked me on 'em
This is definitely going to be the weirdest, most interesting Baroness album. Really looking forward to hearing the rest of it.
It feels equal parts Rollins Band, Black Midi and Thin Lizzy. Despite that, it's still very much a Baroness song.
The vocals in verses give me an All Them Witches vibe! Which is fricken awesome!
Yeah I see that. I would like to see Baroness collab with Idles, even just a one-off would be very exciting.
Everyone is firing here. John and Gina’s chemistry is getting better and better. Original and mesmerizing. Love the thrash influence.
Ah, it's a back to the roots album, this song is just fantastic.
Stay underrated it will keep us TRUE fans happy as. Fuc..

Dude, I love it. The vocals have a real All Them Witches feel going on. Then back to classic Baroness chorus work. Perfect.
All Them Witches is amazing ! Another great underrated band.
My favorite song of 2023 off of the best album of 2023. Just epic stuff all around.
whoa! I'm getting red album vibes on the guitar riffing, and I love it!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
strong vibes of Red Album mixed with "spoken word" of Rollins Band. And I love it. Waiting for the new album!
+++, but very disturbing

This is a band that is doubling down on all the things they do well! And, then some! Exquisite!
Gave me vibes of old Baroness. That raw energy reminded me First & Second. Great song.
Brutal. Very cool.
This song is nothing short of fantastic! 🤘🏽🤘🏽
I started listening to the band with the Purple album and I can say it was the best choice I made musically that year. This song is an astral journey.

This is maybe the most up-your-own-ass pretentious nonsense I've ever read.
Good catch on the Thin Litzy influence- I had just reached that part of the song when I read your comment and it made complete sense.

I like it a lot!! The vocals during the verse are very Swans-like.
im digging the almost post punk esque vocals and style on this song very different but im always welcoming the change ups and the production and instrumentation sounds solid
Wow the visuals are crazy as hell. Love the song. Very dynamic. The harmonies of guitar and vocals are on point. Drums and bass crushing it.
Some of the best material I have heard from you. Nice to hear Gina vocals in there as well. Heavy and massive tone. Killer tune!

Wonderful music. Album is bought. Great.
Long live to Baizley but...such a half, Gina!! Where have you been all this time??? Love you, guys🖤
This mix is so fucking clean. Holy shit.
Fricken goosebumps!!!!!!
The best song of the year!
Drums sound so good at the intro, just killing it!!💯💥💯💥
How long have I waited!
Heard this on SiriusXM and was instantly hooked
The industrial thrash sound mixed with that unbelievably syrupy chorus is just incredible.
The production is top notch ! Drums sounds just right, awesome acoustic guitars, the track is angry in the best way ! Can't wait
HAUNTINGLY COMFORTABLE
