All Metal Review: Baroness - The Red Album
Artist: Baroness
Album: The Red Album
Genre: Stoner Metal (I guess)
Rating: 4.9/5
I came across this album because I was going to see an Opeth show, and this band was one of the opening acts (along with High on Fire). I figured I’d check them out before the show to get an idea of what to expect. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find parking before the show so I missed most of their set, which is a shame because they’re actually really good. The guitar playing is not the typical sludgy sound that you’d expect from a band that seems to be classified as “stoner metal.” They have pretty interesting clean guitar lines, and pretty good, catchy song-writing.
The vocals are actually good as well. This is a pretty cool band, check them out if you get a chance.
