Mastodons of Metal: Baroness

Baroness by by G.L. Johnson
WEDNESDAY: Baroness' new album, "Blue Record," has garnered near-universal acclaim for the way it smoothly weds hard rock, intricate metal, delicate acoustic passages and more twists than a tornado. Leading the charge is guitarist-vocalist John Baizley, who possesses a remarkable amount of creativity and imagination: He's also an amazing illustrator whose work has decorated the covers for numerous metal albums and band T-shirts.

After the jump: Stream the entire "Blue Record" and check out the video for the album's first single, "A Horse Called Golgotha."

» Rock and Roll Hotel, 1353 H St. NE; with Earthless and U.S. Christmas, Wed., Nov. 18, 8 p.m., $12; 202-388-7625.
