BARONESS - Last Word [Official Music Video]

[@Zeckett]

this is a good day

[@Karmadimension]

I been waiting!!! Exciting day

[@TheSpeakeasyStudio]

Perfect.

[@theglitch_713]

This is the way.

[@adamnewkirk8195]

Such crazy musicianship. Gina-Era Baroness is next level.

[@kennykenny8576]

It sounds so different from the early red and blue albums that I just can't get into it. Mostly the vocals just don't do anything for me

[@BronzeRivet]

Gina is a monster of metal, 100%

[@ap0oth3kary]

​@@kennykenny8576honestly thought I was the only one

[@SpiritCrusher]

@@ap0oth3karynope. I was such huge fan of those eps and red. They lost me after that. I actually walked out of they’re set at psycho las vegas

[@darklumin]

@@kennykenny8576 I don't think it sounds that different, just a little more evolved.

[@maxdangle1]

Credit to Nick with that heart of the sunrise level bass work.

[@johnbaizley5568]

he's an absolute beast to play in a band with. top notch musician

[@maxdangle1]

[@igorleal6138]

the bass lines on this song are just mindblowing

[@ryanjames4028]

Makes me wonder what Metallica would sound had Cliff survived.

[@zachiswayposi1]

I’m just happy you can hear the guitars again

[@maxdangle1]

Dude, I dismissed Baroness for like 7 years until I saw them live because of how bad the mix was on the recordings.

[@paulsawchuk9934]

@@maxdangle1 I had to nope out of G&G because it literally HURT my ears to listen to it - I don't revisit Purple a lot for the same reason. But this - this is what those albums could have sounded like. This is like the mixing of Red Album and those two albums' songwriting.

[@zachiswayposi1]

@@paulsawchuk9934 Someone ripped the live show they did where they played the entire record and it sounds SO much better. I wish they’d do an official release of that.

[@paulsawchuk9934]

@@zachiswayposi1 Ooh I'd love to give that a listen.

[@chrisparker5278]

Proof the telecaster can master every genre

[@KeithShelley1]

Jesus, that guitar solo is the best solo I've heard in years. So glad to have y'all back!

[@Bestwick1983]

It's average at best. Standard scale wankery

[@Foxywaterable]

Anybody know if that’s John or Gina?

[@johndescy7904]

@@Foxywaterable I don't, but I would put my money on Gina.

[@Foxhound2003]

I’d have to say that it is the most raw and forward mix guitar solo I have ever heard. And I think that’s what makes it great!!!

[@cyclethelock]

Seriously. Angular, exciting, and some awesome uncomfortable moments as it develops that adds great tension. Just killer. Stoked that Gina got to lay down some shred. It adds such an awesome vignette-within-a-vignette aspect to the song. Man. Wow.

[@n_n_n_n_n_n]

I'm grateful the mix has some breathing room this time around, it sounds great, as does the song. I'm excited for more, thanks Baroness.

[@cavezombie83]

Now, if we could just get the last two albums remixed and remastered, everything would be great....

[@nikkothegoblin]

It feels to me like they tried to capture the sound of their live recordings, the low mids pulled back and even Gina is more forward in the mix. It's beautiful

[@alexandersoroka4438]

Yeah. Mix is just the way it's meant to be for our hungry ears!

[@daario4278]

I preferred the aggressive sound tbh

[@13Rebotco]

@@cavezombie83 they do sound awful. This one still sounds odd/loud, but we'll see....

[@Garage9D]

That opener, those guitars 🔥🔥🔥

[@Baroness]

🔥🤘🔥

[@thawedantarctican2171]

Reminded me of the First/Second and Grey Sigh eras!

[@er-p616dw]

Serious Randy Rhodes vibes in that guitar solo

[@dany_fourskulls]

All the colors and sounds of Baroness in one song. What a fucking wonderful song. You have set the bar very high and I am looking forward to hearing the full album. The guitar solo has really blown my mind, it goes from good to better 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼

[@Baroness]

Thank you!

[@thatgdub]

Gina’s solo gives me strong Randy Rhoads vibes. Fucking awesome song.

[@inscho]

Thought the same!

[@gregorynorthrup8939]

Even the tone.

[@justinherer2410]

More like Brett Hinds actually...but I get it.

[@richj7]

That was everything I had hoped it would be. Pounding, pulsing, relentless, soaring, screaming, bloody, brilliant, and beautiful. Thank you.

[@Baroness]

Thanks, Rich!

[@andys_69]

While cliche, my day was going to crap but this really gave me a badly needed lift. Gina's playing is an incredible addition to the band, as well as her voice. Looking forward to the shows!

[@dheningt]

She’s obviously a great guitarist but the songwriting hasn’t been the same since green and gold imo

[@morebeer7673]

Not crushed in mastering. Nice. Good song after a long hiatus. Thanks!

[@Bubbaisawonderin]

Best teeth in heavy music.

[@johndescy7904]

Brilliant from the first to the last note. I feel there's a lot of confidence in every musician's performance here. I don't know how to put this into words. It all feels very "forward". I love it!

[@Baroness]

thank you, John!

[@AbsentCurtis]

Baroness and Mutoid Man tour... just throwing that out there.

[@JamesRone]

If there doesn't end up being a "Making of Stone" series of mini-docs, I'll understand. But if there is, I'M HERE FOR IT.

[@Hammersmashed68]

I got "Red" album vibes from the beginning. Then the rest of the song is just the perfect moulding of everything that the band has done. Excited to hear the entirety of the album, which will no doubt be brilliant

[@thawedantarctican2171]

As I said in another reply, the opening had me thinking of First/Second and Grey Sigh eras. As I hear the song progress, I hear hints of Blue and the Gold half of G&G.

[@psyborg06]

This can't sniff a fart from Red, sorry.

[@ash8298]

Maybe its just me, but for me the Red album is their best sounding album, great production.

[@Live_Session]

I'm a big fan of Baroness's rhytm section - Sebastian Thomson with Nick Jost both always do amazing work and make big platform for beautiful guitars of John Baizley and Gina Gleason. I'm waiting for the 15th of September!)

[@Foxywaterable]

I literally let out a “holy shit” after that solo, I’m so in already got my preorder on the limited vinyl

[@peterszabo3875]

A bit of Randy Rhoads there...really good to here.

[@absyrtus]

The production already sounds like it's back to the pre-purple mixing \m/

[@knutsenneundorf116]

Absolutely! I noticed this as well.

[@rampart6233]

That guitar tone and the runs in the solo makes me think of golden era Ozzy, like Jake E Lee on Bark at the Moon.

[@tzar88]

One thing i love about Barness are your outros. This one and "if i wake you up" comes to mind.

[@johnbaizley5568]

we'd never stop those outros if we didn't have to

[@reverb508]

Eat your heart out, Nuno. I think Gina just took the “best guitar solo of 2023” title. Christ, that was intense.

[@Peter07Pal]

I hope you can hear this song Steve - RIP

[@rchilton]

True skill doesn't need power, but when a talented team lean into it as an expression of their art, it's a sublime result.

[@arthur.hpm_b741]

what a riff! what a beautiful guitar solo! and the double voices? amazing! what a powerful bass! what a fantastic rhythmic lead of the drums! Long Live Baroness!

[@SmokeyG69]

what a comment

[@haxenheimer9707]

I love how everyone in the band just gets to shine in this song in a very elegant way. This is such a cool mix of styles, can't wait to hear more!

[@Xthecrowx1122]

Who was the mastering magician on this? It's utterly brilliant how much separation and room each instrument has...

[@jasonfritzler6209]

I get to see these guys tomorrow in Oklahoma City!!! Can’t….. wait!

[@rangeboy7210]

Return of the phaser

[@johnmcdonough666]

So cool to have Gina's vocals a little more up front. Their voices meld wonderfully. I kept re-listening to the guitar solo. Love the tone and phrasing.

[@eh2643]

So good, feels like such an interesting and natural progression from G+G, stoked to see what the rest of the record has in store.

[@RyuDraco_]

Yes, I also felt a lot of G+G vibes on this song. Truly amazing

[@marviosouza2228]

Que música é essa, cara!!!! Sensacional! Que solo de guitarra!

[@Emersonhsb]

the reverb in the guitar solo is fucking awezome !!! nice work

[@adambates8136]

Guitar solo of the year candidate fshoo

[@nicholasroberson8350]

As someone who originally became a fan of their sludgy origins, the thing about Baroness that always impressed me the most is that while most bands shift genres to sell out, it really felt like they were breaking out instead. Like they had incredible songwriting ideas that just couldn't be confined to one sub-genre of metal, or even necessarily metal at all. One of the extremely rare cases where I love every era, and that doesn't seem to be changing anytime soon.

[@ThePowerman121]

John said in an interview fairly recently something about wanting to turn over those stones that haven't been turned over yet. Some may work and some may not. I like the idea that they are really trying to branch out and try new things. Things that haven't been done yet or aren't done often.

[@derekschoonover4243]

That fucking guitar at 2:49 reminds me of having a guitar for two years and feeling like my stupid rig is garbage and it is holding me back and if i could just afford better gear then I would rule... and then some random dude picks up my guitar plugged into my amp, with my cord and just levels my concepts of greatness. This is nostalgic in the absolute best way. So fucking good. One of a kind!

[@faekaloderbondageclown7789]

Never been so excited for stone.

[@NiftyDimensions]

Anyone else here get one of those special postcards from Baroness? Can't wait for this album!

[@maxdangle1]

Yup. Pre-ordered the vinyl.

[@ethanj.8924]

this is the perfect backdrop for more stories to be told. the video reminds me of how plants can perceive us (with sound/light) and gives me the feeling that the land around my house knows some secret STUFF I don't want to remember

[@robertlemcke3877]

John? Gina? Sebastian? Nick? You really did something here ... I don't know what in particular, or how to discripe but ... this song goes even beyond mark and bone ... it itches a corner of my brian, actually i cant exactly locate the mix of emotions i get while hearing this song. i'm 37 and i love tool, mastodon and whatever has a name in this industry but in 11 month this song jumped into my personal top 3... and it stays there for 11 month... every day my head goes "do you have any last words? i remember it all *solo* (even thou its not the exact part xD)all day)

[@lonewolf1843]

They pour so much into their art. I'm so glad I bought The Red Album all those years ago and started this journey with them.

[@thawedantarctican2171]

My journey started with Yellow and Green. Love the entire catalog and kick myself eternally for not checking them out earlier when I was a late teen with Blue coming out around then. But, I'm still glad to be a fan. I absolutely adore to death First/Second and Grey Sigh, along with Red. Onward from that is just as good and innovative!

[@jenkenstein3D]

Same, Red album at first sounded mastodon-esque to my young ears, but the further I delve into baroness they are so much more

[@BGRPiccu]

It sounds like maybe the band is going a bit heavier for this album purely based on this song. No matter, I've loved everything they've done. That solo gave me Randy Rhoads vibes. It was unbelievable. Can't wait for the new album. And I assume Gina was singing as well, she sounded great.

[@szymekstonoga]

that's prolly the best guitar solo of this century

[@KarurdaK]

Man this band is so underrated 🔥🔥

[@Grymgar]

True, but they are also a good example of a band for the moment we are in. Do what you can to buy their merch direct from the source, buy the first pressings that they release themselves. Tell friends about them and bring them to the shows!

[@TheGKNR]

Holy F... I'm crying, speechless.

[@wavestbsf343]

Those subtle guitar leads through the chorus amidst the frantic and relentless bass and drums, atmospheric rhythm guitar, and gut-wrenching vocals - just perfection. Face-melting guitar solo, riff that gets deeper with each listen, heavenly outro - so much to chew on in this song and I can't get enough of it!

[@nickdotjpg]

phenomenal. september cant come fast enough.

[@juliengirardet4352]

So glad to hear from The Almighty Baroness again ! Missed you so much ...
