Good news, everyone! It looks like Baroness is dropping a new song and new album information on June 20. That, or they’ve decided to drop a very elaborate 20 second ambient song on their Instagram complete with artwork… which doesn’t seem very likely.
All we know about the new record is that they’ve been working on it since at least 2020, and that Baroness frontman John Baizley previously said 2023 is going to be a big year for the band.
“I think it’s a very safe bet to say that in 2023 there will be something new and all of the garnishes that come with that,” said Baizley in a 2022 interview. “Like tours, and well, tours, and umm, tours. Probably a tour in a bus.”
“Yeah, we started writing a record in the very depths of the pandemic,” he continued. “At the time, the means we had to do that, or the methods that we used to do that, were somewhat challenging, but we got a whole bunch of work done through the pandemic. Once things sort of wound down, our timelines got a little blurrier and we’re getting everything back into focus now. 2023 is going to be a big year for Baroness.”
Baizley also revealed in a 2019 interview with MetalSucks that Gold & Grey would likely be the last of the color-themed albums from Baroness. So who knows what overarching theme they’ll go for next, if there’s one at all.
