Baroness tour

Apparently one of the caveats of bringing Metallica over on a tour is that they get a rest day every third day. So while that's all good for the money spinning giants, what about the support bands they bring over? What are they supposed to do when stuck in each town for a week with a few days to kill? Play a show of course. Which Baroness are nice enough to do.


Baroness was one of the two bands that I had never heard of before Soundwave this year, but fell in love with (as well as Isis). I was enthralled by Baroness' post-rock meets sludge-metal sound. It's not metal as most people know, not just riffs and head banging, but more as if some indie-kids decided to make a metal band.

Catch them at the Zoo on the 17th of October. 18+ of course.

Myspace. Or get your hands on their album the Blue Record. It's amazing
