The Philadelphia-based metal adventurers Baroness have returned. Baroness recently embarked on a massive co-headlining tour with fellow boundary-pushing rockers Deafheaven, and they’ve just announced the details of their latest album Gold & Grey, which is set to arrive in a few months. It’s the band’s first LP with new guitarist Gina Gleason, and the band recorded it in upstate New York with famed Flaming Lips prog-fuzz producer Dave Fridmann. (Fridmann also produced the last Baroness album, 2015’s Purple.)

At their Houston tour opener over the weekend, Baroness debuted a new song called “Borderlines.” (It has nothing to do with Madonna.) Today, we get to hear the studio version. It’s a massive, soaring six-minute riff-beast full of weird textures and howling-into-infinity vocals. There’s also a no-frills video, which shows the faces of Baroness members floating against a black void, with a psychedelic skull behind them.

Of the new album, frontman John Baizley says:

Our goal is, was, and will always be to write increasingly superior, more honest and compelling songs, and to develop a more unique and challenging sound. I’m sure we have just finished our best, most adventurous album to date. We dug incredibly deep, challenged ourselves and recorded a record I’m positive we could never again replicate. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to know Sebastian, Nick and Gina as both my bandmates and my friends. They have pushed me to become a better songwriter, musician and vocalist. We’re all extremely excited for this release, which includes quite a few “firsts” for the band, and we’re thrilled to be back on tour to play these psychotic songs for our fans. Expect some surprises.
