BARONESS TOUR IS SURE TO BE ONE OF THE BEST METAL TOURS THIS FALL
Friday, September 11th, 2009 at 2:00pm by Vince Neilstein
MetalSucks is super-duper-uper psyched to be co-sponsoring the U.S. fall tour for Baroness, whose forthcoming Blue Album is so good that Axl will buy you a hooker if it’s not his favorite album of 2009. Baroness definitely bring the goods live, too. Some time shortly after the release of Red Album I saw the band in a shitty, hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant in Bushwick that was so makeshift that the furious moshpit kept running up against the restaurant’s tables and chairs stacked against the walls. It was complete fucking mayhem, and though Baroness have now moved on to considerably bigger and better venues, their intensity and passion for their live shows is just the same. Support on the run comes from a rotating cast of characters consisting of Earthless, U.S. Christmas, MetalSucks faves Iron Age, and Dark Castle, all of whom are sure to sweeten up the deal just that much.

God damn, Baroness and Pig Destroyer… makes me want to take a vacation to Georgia!
Knoxville to Atlanta. I’m there. I will also be there for Mastodon, Dethklok, High on Fire, and Converge.
These guys played for free at a block party in Chicago, didn’t get a chance to see them though
I missed it too but I am going to the Chicago date.
I don’t know if this is the BEST tour this fall *cough Kylesa cough Mastodon cough
But its up there for sure!
man baroness never fucking fails with their artwork. primo!
I caught Baroness on their last tour with Clutch, they were farking ace. Bummer they are not coming back to Boise for this tour.
That Atlanta show looks killer!
No Canadian dates. Boo.
Baroness topped my 2007 list. Let’s just see if they can’t do it again!
Cannot wait. Should be a sick show, oh and GAZA is fucking awesome, from Salt Lake City, check them out.
OH SHIT YES!
I am DEFINITELY grabbing some tix for the ATL date!
new tracks streaming on myspace sound damn tight. i agree on the artwork, Baizley does not disappoint
‘Blue Record’ is fucking great. Definitely will be on my albums of the year list, although they won’t be taking the top spot.
I’m with you, “Blue Record” is genious I like it even more than the latest Mastodon… maybe. They are both amazing bands.
I emailed you guys about the Atlanta date, thanks again for not giving credit where credit is due.
Boo-hoo
I want my hooker, she better be clean too
“BARONESS TOUR IS SURE TO BE ONE OF THE BEST METAL TOURS THIS FALL”
Sure If Your Counting That Shit As Metal,
“BARONESS TOUR IS SURE TO BE ONE OF THE BEST ROCK TOURS THIS FALL”
You’re fucking stupid.
Baroness, Earthless, US Christmas. oh my god.
anyone else think the girl on the left looks like she has a dick between her boobs?
Maybe I downloaded a wrong verson, but Axl might have to buy me a hooker. I was REALLY looking forward to this album, and I just don’t like it as well as the last one. Sounds like Torrche at best, and boring at worst.
I really liked their first album but then I saw them in houston last year with opeth and they were awful live. maybe it was just the venue but the mix was terrible, you could barely hear the vocals, and the guitars just sounded bad. All of the songs just kinda blended into each other so you couldn’t really tell when one ended and the next one started. oh well ill give the new album a spin
Baroness and Pig Destroyer 2 days after my birthday, in my home town,,, oh hell yes
haven’t seen them before, but planning on it this time
actually nyc date is dangerously close to thanksgiving…
Dark Castle? Isn’t that what Dimmu Borgir means?
this band fucking sucks, best album of 2009 my ass.
Love the new record, can’t wait for the tour. Also, US Xmas rock. Saw them open for Mastodon and Neurosis last year in Brooklyn.
First no Canadian dates for the Melvins, then Obscura, and now this. Why does every band seem to ignore Canada
I’m seeing them in Atlanta with my friend. He’s wondering if you can mosh to them? He doesn’t think they’re that heavy.
