Baroness,
American Heritage,
The Dumps
Tasty World Upstairs
The book of heavy metal
can never be rewritten, but
it is constantly undergoing
dramatic revision, expan
sion and annotation. In the
past several years, there '
have been few American
bands that have wielded a
mightier quill pen dipped in
bat's blood than Savannah's
Baroness. Back in February
of this year, Baroness played
the very first rock show held
at The Max Canada, and leg
end has it that the lava that
erupted from the band's am
plifiers and drums destroyed
the club's stage and sound
system while simultaneously
turning the audience into a
unified consciousness of pure
light, thus also making it the
last rock show to be held at
The Max Canada.
On Sept X, Relapse Records released the band's first full-length recording (after a couple of
meat-packed EPs and a split with The Unpersons). The Red Album sees the band fully capitalize
on its explosive Total Metal approach (combining elements of the mysticism of doom, the pomp
of the new’Wave of British heavy metal and the scuzz of thrash) with the prominent addition of
tasteful—and still gritty!—melodic vocals in addition to the typical beard-filtered roar.
Baroness has existed for four years now, and in that time has clearly taken great care to .
make sure that listeners will hear only the exact music that exists within the members' brains.
That their brains consist of regular brain goo and not some sort of wizard's breatn swirling
around a talisman made from a hunk of the sun is unclear. The strength with which these men
prove that new and exciting ideas can in fact be brought forth with just guitars, bass and
drums grants them a nobility of sound that is at once inspiring and timeless. Forget what you
may have read on some message board two years ago—Baroness will not be anyone's foot
note. [Jace Bartet]
