PITTSBURGH - Renowned psychedelic heavy rock band Baroness continues its tour in support of the band’s latest album, "Stone," with summer outings in support of the critically-acclaimed collection.
Baroness will perform on Monday, June 24, at Mr. Small’s Theater in Millvale, Pa., along with special guests Portrayal of Guilt and Filth Is Eternal.
Show time is 8 p.m.
"We are gearing up for our first big summer tour in the U.S. in five years, and we're incredibly exciting to be playing so many cities that we have never played before, and returning to so many that we haven't spent nearly enough time visiting. Come out and join us! Till the wheels fall off..." Baroness stated.
The band is also offering a "Stone" pre-show experience, which includes one general admission ticket, a three-song pre-show acoustic performance, one exclusive art print (printed by Nightswim), a Baroness slipmat, commemorative VIP laminate, the ability to have two Baroness items signed, and early entry to the venue, as well as a dedicated VIP host. VIP packages info is available at YourBaroness.com.
Recorded in a remote cabin on the border of Pennsylvania and New York, Baroness' self-produced "Stone" marked a shift for the band, with Baroness self-producing the 10-song album in a departure from their recent collections. At the time of the album announcement, John Baizley explained that "an important through line in Baroness is we don't like to repeat ourselves. It's all about the willingness to take risks. So we doubled down on continuously inventing to see where it takes us. I think this record is a good reflection of that. ‘Stone’ is a lot more alive, more direct."
Featured on recent covers of Kerrang!, Revolver, Rock Zone and Rock Tribune, critics and fans have embraced Baroness' DIY approach. Pitchfork said "Baroness remain one of the most remarkable and capable bands at the intersection of heavy metal, hard rock, and psychedelia," while Metal Hammer noted "Baroness' sixth studio album is another wonderful journey through myriad emotions."
Founded in 2003, Baroness is Baizley (vocals/guitar), Gina Gleason (guitar), Nick Jost (bass) and Sebastian Thomson (drums). The Philadelphia-meets-Brooklyn foursome has released six full-length albums to date: "Stone" (2023), "Gold & Grey" (2019), "Purple" (2015), "Yellow & Green" (2012), "Blue Record" (2009), and the "Red Album" (2007).
Throughout their career, they've garnered widespread acclaim, with the band's albums regularly featured on year-end best of lists, and 2017 seeing their first Grammy nomination. On their most recent album, "Stone," Pitchfork said they "remain one of the most remarkable and capable bands at the intersection of heavy metal, hard rock and psychedelia."
Brooklyn Vegan described the 10-song collection as "Baroness at their most alive and direct," while Revolver added: "STONE... is a wild ride, full of triumphant sludge metal, and soaring, shoegazing progressive rock."
