Baroness - Wailing Wintry Wind
I must admit I haven't listened to much Baroness. On paper, they sound like a band I should enjoy.
This song, from their Red Album, is either an instrumental or has a very long intro. It's nice and mid-tempo with some flashy-in-a-good-way drumming and some nice guitar work. Kinda spacey, kinda now, kinda wow.
AH! Here come the vocals. He sounds upset. I was feeling a little lulled by that mellow intro, but now things have gotten a bit more urgent.
Atmospheric intro, a bit of yelling, then some frantic guitaring, then a really good little somewhat airy solo underpinned by some staccato, jagged chords.
Not knowing much about the Red Album, this song makes me wonder if it might be a concept piece. What I mean is, it sounds like it's part of a greater whole. That would suit me just fine and Wailing Wintry Wind is intriguing enough to make me want to listen to the entire album.
