Hellfest / Baroness convey a transfixing experience from start to finish

Delivering an intense Hellfest set, loaded with incredible dynamics and as tight as they come, the stage presence of every single member of Baroness is simply electrifying.

It is hard to take your eyes off guitarist Gina Gleason as being certainly one doing it for the ladies. Her stage interaction is superb, and her utter enjoyment and loss in the moment truly transpire.

John Dyer Baizley may well be the only original member left, however, Baroness’ new outfit are indeed as strong as ever. In addition, his vocal works in perfect harmony with Gina’s tone and the harmonies delivered are simply stunning.

Baroness convey a transfixing experience from start to finish. Their stature is certainly one of the first of Dante’s circles, and it absolutely grants them the crown of headliners.
