BARONESS's NEW Kickass Album 'Yellow & Green' Is Available Right Now!

  Photo credit: Jimmy Hubbard
BARONESS, who recently graced covers of both Decibel and Hails & Horns Magazines, have earned near perfect reviews for the expansive set with Spin describing the release as "alternative rock's brawniest soul-purge" and adding that "beastly event-records like this only come once in a full moon." Alternative Press awarded 'Yellow & Green' four stars, NPR said the album offers "an embarrassment of melodic and riff-based riches," Metal Sucks said this is "Baroness' crossover masterpiece" and  the BBC said this is "a beautiful next step in the ongoing saga of Baroness."

Stream of Hammers of Misfortune NEW Album '17th Street'!


With a newly-rejuvenated line-up and their signature sound intact, San Francisco's Hammers of Misfortune have returned with "17th Street", a brash and heartfelt song cycle, blending the best elements of NWOBHM, Thrash, doom Metal, and American folk music while somehow sounding unlike any of these. "17th Street" takes the band's inimitable sound to a new level, creating an emotional gravity that only further accentuates the band's formidable songwriting chops. This is what John Cobbett (guitarist & producer of the band) had to say about this.

"I can see how someone could find it an upbeat record at first glance. If you listen carefully, you'll find that each song has its own point of view. You might find hope, or something very different, very dark."

2. 17th Street
3. The Grain
