Baroness: “Last Word”

Philly hardrockers Baroness want the last word. OK, they got it. With an intro that feels like a Led Zeppelin outtake on methamphetamines, it’s the perfect entry point into the tangled web of licit and illicit memories, regret, and exhilaration that our highlighted track “Last Word” draws us into. Take heed, this song runs 6:17, which is small potatoes if you’re a jam band noodling out last night’s menu. But a metal band? You better believe every single fucking note of the composition is mapped out with the cold-blooded precision of a bank heist veteran pulling his final job. Off the latest LP Stone. And is that the bassist Nick Jost from Wilder Maker?
