[edit] Biography
Baroness formed in mid-2003[4], founded by former members of the punk/metal band Johnny Welfare and the Paychecks[5]. Baroness has remained silent about the origins of their name.[6]. Singer John Baizley creates the artwork for all Baroness albums, and has done artwork for other bands and labels such as Darkest Hour, The Red Chord, Kylesa, Daughters, Torche, Pig Destroyer, and the Magrudergrind/Shitstorm split grindcore CD on Robotic Empire [7]. Their 2007 album entitled Red Album was named Album of the Year by heavy metal magazine Revolver [8]. On December 1, 2007, Baroness performed at New York City's Bowery Ballroom, and the concert was filmed in its entirety and can be viewed on their WoozyFly page. [9]
