News : Baroness announce headline shows

By on August 14, 2010

US sludge-ish band Baroness, who are supporting Metallica on a few dates later in the year, have thankfully announced a few sideshows. Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane will be treated to headline shows in some relatively small venues, which is sure to appease those who missed the band live earlier in the year when they came here for the monstrous Soundwave festival (and put on an awesome show). Full tour details are below.

“Rising from the Savannah swamplands in 2003, BARONESS have exploded onto the musical landscape with a sound built upon a resolute sense of purpose and shaped by hundreds of explosive live shows, which has elevated them from the rest of the metal pack.

Their debut ‘Red Album’ sat the metal community fairly and squarely on its ass with its sonic vision; colossal riffs and haunting vocals rolling like thunder across epic songs spanning both the intense and the sublime. The album was so impressive Revolver Magazine named it Album of the Year.

Yet, their sophomore release ‘The Blue Record’, has truly lifted the bar again. It’s a ferocious album that’s not afraid to be genuinely beautiful and “truly depicts a band at the peak of their powers.” – Alternative Press”
