Performer: Baroness
Engineer: John Congleton
Producer: Baroness; John Congleton
Distributor: n/a

Notes: Lyricist: John Dyer Baizley. Personnel: John Dyer Baizley (vocals, guitar, piano); Pete Adams (vocals, guitar); Allen Blickle (drums). Audio Mixer: John Congleton. Georgia-based psychedelic rock band (calling them a metal act seems very reductive, though there's some seriously headbangable material on this disc) Baroness has made a subtle but unmistakable evolutionary leap on this, their second full-length and a clear companion piece to 2007's RED ALBUM. It's hard to say exactly what new guitarist Pete Adams has brought to the band after replacing drummer Allen Blickle's brother Brian, but the band's established blend of Southern sludge riffs, druggy instrumental journeys, and melodic interstitial interludes, all propelled by a particularly thudding drum sound and held together by John Baizley's hoarse but clean vocals and gorgeous cover art, are even stronger now than before. This is a ferocious album that's not afraid to be genuinely beautiful.
