Sunday: Baroness - Jake Leg

     Today's band is one that isn't working on new material, as far as I know, but oh how I would like them to be.

     Indeed, Baroness are likely still in the midst of getting a pair of new members acclimated to the world and way of life that is Baroness, and as such new material might not even be on the horizon for Baizley and the boys. While we debate which colour album will be next, I guess we'll just have to be content with the colour spectrum we've already got.

     "Jake Leg", a driving and relentless number, is one of my favourite tracks from 2009's Blue Record, so let's listen to it while we pray to the metal gods that new, heavy Baroness material is closer than we think.

Song of the Day: Baroness - A Horse Called Golgotha

     Today's song practically picked itself for me. I don't know if you know Baroness, but these Mastodony metallers from Georgia are set to release their third album (or would it be their third and fourth albums?) of crunchy metal goodness. Following in the tradition of freshman Red and sophomore Blue albums, the latest from Baroness is a polychromatic double album entitled Yellow & Green, and it comes out today. So the choice was easy: today's song had to be a Baroness song. But which one? There again, the choice was easy: good song + wacky video = song of the day.

     Your song for today is "A Horse Called Golgotha" from Baroness' second LP, Blue. If you're a Baroness fan, put this one on to hold you over until you've got the new album, and if you're not, put this one on and become a convert.
