Metallurgical Fire
Beneath the Blazing Abyss is heavy, and no matter what those kids in Opeth say, heavy will always be my thing. BARON knows what they’re doing and I have zero complaints. The vocalist is far better than necessary. Crunchy, pounding, visceral material here. Loving it.

I really can’t top @Eloy Garcia’s description: “groovy, heavy, ugly, beautiful”. Might be my favourite TOR release so far this year.
Favorite track: Bound to the Funeral Pyres.

Finnish band Baron are straddling the styles of death and doom metal in a spectacular manner. In their faster, heavier moments, they seem to be a death metal band through and through but when they slow down, they showcase a wholly different dimension to their sound. They are able to do so without altering their imposing, crushing sound and the transitions in pace never seem abrupt but usually culminate into gigantic heaving and stomping parts as if a mountainous, infernal demon like the one on their artwork has decided to awaken after centuries only to mosh. It's the same the other way around, with slower parts building up to an apocalyptic rampage, volcanic fire spewing all over for added effect, and basically all hell breaking loose. It's only fitting that a Finnish band is tasked with this immense responsibility, with heroes from that land having already mastered both the styles and passed the skills down the generations. Baron are then indeed one of the most promising new bands from that part of the world, possessing the strength as well as having the sensibilities required to make this work, with surprisingly cohesive writing and clean, powerful execution.
For fans of: Deicide, Rottrevore, Abhorrence, early Amorphis, Convulse, Morbid Angel

Focusing on the atmosphere, Maere have created a supremely dark and haunting album rife with hypnotic and crushing riffs that will stay with you long after the album is over. Unforgettable debut. Baron
Replicant have masterfully infused grooves in their blend of dissonant and technical death metal making it altogether unique with highly expressive vocals to boot. They are at the top of their game. Baron
Crawl have created the perfect death metal/crust hybrid and have added black metal touches to spice things up even more. The new album sounds nastier than ever before and is a landmark album! Baron
supported by 355 fans who also own “Beneath the Blazing Abyss”
Finally found the change for a copy, glad I didn’t miss it as everything Brendan Dean has done, in my eyes is golden. This LP has a serious weight to it, the use of effects like digital distortion just add to the chaos. - also, the album artwork is great. 👍🏻 the cassettes look brilliant.
