Every region fosters rebellious music and, in the South, that music is sludge metal. With its unwavering sense of place, Baroness gives voice to the gospel of sludge. Southern summers are brutal.

E io con chi ne parlo? Minchia non ho fatto in tempo ad ascoltarlo un paio di volte intere che già su LastFm uno mi contatta e mi fa più o [...]

The Swedes will team up with Baroness and Decapitated for a string of US dates [...]
