BARONESS VISIT XIBALBA IN NEW VIDEO
Over the weeken, Baroness released a video for “A Horse Called Golgotha,” one of many excellent tracks from their latest effort Blue Record. I’m not sure Blue Record will end up in my year-end top records list, but I know plenty of people who love the shit out of this record and I certainly can’t begrudge them that; it IS really good.
So this video is pretty psychedelic / trippy / artsy, much like Blue Record itself. I’d sum it up thusly: if Hugh Jackman’s “future” character in Darren Aronofsky’s The Fountain had been sick, twisted and tortured on the inside instead of a Zen-like testament to patience, this is what the movie would’ve looked like. Stop the presses, Vince made a movie reference! Next thing you know Axl’s going to write his own Metal Mets column.
