Here is the full cover painting for our new album, Gold & Grey. This is just the first piece of a much larger puzzle. Like the forthcoming album itself, it is the result of an intense, tireless, and psychotically convoluted creative process. Both artistically and musically, Baroness have always taken a no compromise approach towards our releases, and I can’t express strongly enough how excited we are to be so close to the verge of our newest release. This painting was born from a deeply personal reflection on the past 12 years of this band’s history, and will stand as the 6th and final piece in our chromatically-themed records. It has been an absolutely wild ride, a truth much stranger than fiction, with nearly as many low points as there have been highs, but throughout all, this band has offered me an inspired place to express myself and find some level of comfort through our visual and sonic output. I hope you all enjoy this album cover (sorry it’s not called Orange). Don’t look too closely, you might just see all the hidden elements. We want to thank everyone for your heartfelt support over the years, it means the world to us. We also appreciate your continued patience. Gold & Grey will be out soon, and then the real fun begins. I assure you, we have no plans to slow down anytime soon.

Tour admat for Baroness for their North American co-headline tour with Deafheaven, with Zeal & Ardor joining them, in March/April 2019.

Always a pleasure & honor to work with John, although this one was produced under a bit of time pressure, even more than usual with an aperfectmonster collab ( I’m not complaining, mind you.) because of that, I didn’t take my usual time to sort out models, etc but straight away went to my archive of photos: the osprey is based on a great shot by @joinus12345 & the heart/beetle is based on an earlier design of mine (go down my feed to find that one.) That being said, limited time can sometimes lead to good things: it forces me to make bolder decisions, “downside” might be that I had to do a bit more digital work. I made this in 5 days from scratch. Swipe to see the art in different stages. Layout by John Dyer Baizly.

Thank you again John for your trust!

We set up in two parks with Revolver to film an acoustic version of “Cold Blooded Angels” for their No Distortion series. This is the first time we EVER played this song live! You can watch the exclusive video HERE or below. 

We will be performing several acoustic sets in record stores over the next week. Learn more about those HERE (dates listed below).

Our new album Gold & Grey is out June 14 and our new song “Borderlines” is out now, via Abraxan Hymns. 

You can pre-order Gold & Grey HERE and get an instant download of “Borderlines,” which you can listen to everywhere HERE. Limited run vinyl is available in the Baroness store.

Our goal is, was, and will always be to write increasingly superior, more honest and compelling songs, and to develop a more unique and challenging sound. I’m sure we have just finished our best, most adventurous album to date. We dug incredibly deep, challenged ourselves and recorded a record I’m positive we could never again replicate. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to know Sebastian, Nick and Gina as both my bandmates and my friends. They have pushed me to become a better songwriter, musician and vocalist. We’re all extremely excited for this release, which includes quite a few “firsts” for the band, and we’re thrilled to be back on tour to play these psychotic songs for our fans. Expect some surprises.
