Southern metal lords Baroness have finally announced a release date for new 2CD album Yellow & Green. This last year has been spent entirely dedicated to writing the third LP with producer John Congleton (Explosions In The Sky, Blue Record,) which will be released on July 17th through Relapse. The Georgia based quartet have done a service to the metal community by doing sludge metal that has a hip catchy vibe to it, breathing new life into a genre that was honestly sort of dead until they showed up. Yellow & Green should establish Baroness as one of the most important metal bands of the last decade based on the chart success of their previous album. Upcoming tour dates previewing Yellow & Green have been announced for Spring with Meshuggah and can be seen here.
