STONE

Baroness is back with their most progressive and experimental album yet, while retaining a very high songwriting and production levels. The mix this time is fantastic and a lot better than their previous efforts, thankfully! It's great to hear very cripsy drums and the guitars are amazing.

Best tracks are the singles Last Word - very catchy and with a great guitar solo - and Beneath the rose, also Magnolia and Under the Wheel. These last two have great build up segments that lead to very heavy section which are very satisfying to listen to. Beneath the rose is followed by Choir and The Dirge which features some more experimental vocals and weirdness which is fantastic.

There's also a lot of guitars that try to create some great ambience and textures, which is characteristic of them, but always very pleasant.

It's their best album and a great progressive metal release 5/5.
