Baroness – Stone (Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Ruby Red Vinyl)

Grammy-award nominated heavy rock band Baroness mark their much anticipated return with new album, STONE. Their sixth record overall and third released via Abraxan Hymns, STONE finds the Philadelphia-based quartet of John Baizley (guitars/vocals/illustration), Gina Gleason (guitars), Nick Jost (bass), and Sebastian Thomson (drums) streamlining the momentous multi-genre vocabulary of its critically-acclaimed predecessor Gold & Grey (2019). This is still very much Baronessjust refocused for efficiency and rethought as a consequence of stability. STONEs most prominent tracks, Last Word, Beneath the Rose, Shine, and Anodyne, reflect thoughtfully, groove deeply, and refract tumult effortlessly. While Baroness wrote STONE, Baizley recorded and pre-mixed it. After the group finished tracking drums, guitars, and bass, they took everything back to Baizleys unfinished basement – where parts of Gold & Grey were also recordedin Pennsylvania to put down the vocals and add other bells and whistles. STONE was then handed off to Grammy-nominated mix master Joe Barresi (Kyuss, Alice In Chains) for final mixing and polishing and Grammy-winning mastering guru Bob Ludwig (Led Zeppelin, Nirvana) at Gateway Mastering Studios. The indie exclusive ruby red LP is housed in a heavyweight printed inner sleeve inside of a spot UV gatefold jacket with black flood and a four-panel lyric booklet. All artwork by John Dyer Baizley. Baroness received a GRAMMY Award nomination for the song Shock Me (from the 2015 album, Purple) in the Best Metal Performance category. Purple saw worldwide praise with Pitchfork saying it features some of the biggest, strongest songs Baroness has ever written and Mojo proclaiming Baroness have delivered their masterpiece. The album received numerous year end accolades including Shock Me at #10 on Entertainment Weeklys Top 40 Songs of 2015, #6 on Pitchforks Best Metal Albums of 2015 and #7 on Rolling Stones 20 Best Metal Albums of 2015.
