I have been crazy about this band ever since discovering them.A great act,and one I HIGHLY recommend seeing live(I saw them on their Red Album tour and the ticket costs 8 bucks,what a bargain!).They don't rehearse because they play about 300 dates a year and it shows,these guys have some serious chops.

Yes,it's some art from the Dark Tower graphic novels that were made by Marvel with heavy involvement from Stephen King.Being such a huge fan of the series of books I thought the graphic novels would suck but they are great and the art work is superb.

Baroness is one of those bands that once more people discover, will become a really big deal!
Red Album was the ALBUM OF THE MONTH on our site, and Blue Record is a great follow up!
Never saw them live though and hope to at some point.
Baroness rocks!!!

I saw them open for Opeth and the sound was pretty crappy. You could tell they had good stuff, but it was hard to appreciate it.
I like their album covers alot.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

All cover art is done by Baroness singer John Baizley.He has also done a bunch of covers for other bands.
Look at pages 236 & 237 of this thread,I posted a bunch of his art:

Thanks for the artwork reference. He knows how to make those earth goddess types look good.

Their debut full-length?
They made two killer ep's before that simply called First and Second.

Yeah I have the debut full length "Red Album". Would you recommend the EP's over their second album? -Jeff

Both albums are awesome, missed them live in Kansas City last week. One of my recent favorites, a mixture of stoner /prog metal?
