Baroness - Gold & Grey

Gold & Grey is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Baroness, released in June 2019 via Abraxan Hymns.

Baroness formed in 2003 in Savannah, Georgia and to date have released five studio albums. Current members of the line-up are John Baizley (lead vocals, guitars, keyboards), Nick Jost (bass, vocals), Sebastian Thomson (drums) and Gina Gleason (lead guitar, vocals).

While Gold & Grey found the outfit once again working with Purple (2015) producer Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips, Mogwai), sequestering themselves at Fridmann’s remote upstate New York Tarbox Road Studio, the 17-track album ushered in two significant changes: a decidedly different recording process and guitar player Gina Gleason’s debut on a Baroness recording.

The band, who tracked portions of the vocals, guitars and overdubs in Baizley’s home-basement studio, eschewed their normal routine of entering the studio with meticulously detailed plans and instead opted for a looser, more improvisational approach that resulted in the band’s most collaborative and emotionally evocative release to date.

This limited edition double album 2LP record set is on red and blue transparent coloured vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves, booklet, etching on Side D, and digital download code, pressed in the US.
