The livestream will be available for 48 hours after its conclusion. “The process of recreating the soundscape of Gold & Grey for a live setting has been fun and inspiring to us as we forward to new musical territories. We’re excited to share this experience with everyone!,” guitarist Gina Gleason said in a statement.

Gold & Grey became Baroness’ first album to top the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart.

Baroness release “Tourniquet (Socially Distant)” video

April 06, 2020 by Terrance Pryor in Music

While Georgia metal act Baroness are separated by self-isolation, it doesn’t mean they can’t rock with each other.

Today, the group unveiled a special video for their song “Tourniquet” titled “Tourniquet (Socially Distant),” which finds them performing in their own homes. In a statement, the band says:

“Hey everyone! Here’s an as-live-as-possible performance of ‘Tourniquet’ that we made over the course of a couple days during this period of isolation. We have all maintained a rigid policy of social-distancing since becoming aware of this pandemic; which has unfortunately deprived us of our much preferred means of playing music. Throughout this crisis, the overall safety and responsibility of our global human community far outweighs the individual value of any show, festival or tour. We’re refocusing and redoubling our energy to adapt to this situation as it unfolds. As difficult as it seems to navigate the effects of this virus, the isolation has not stripped us of our passion for Baroness’ music. Playing music so far from our bandmates will never be particularly natural. However, the experience of making this video through emails, texts and phone calls has been a powerful reminder of how inspiring and invigorating music can be in times of stress, struggle and confusion. We hope you enjoy this performance. It isn’t meant to highlight musical perfection or precision. Personally, it serves as a reminder that, no matter what situation we face, we are still able to enjoy friendship, family and community through something as simple as a song. Isolated but never alone… Baroness.”

“Tourniquet” stems from Baroness’ latest studio album Gold & Grey.
