Baroness sign with Cooking Vinyl Australia

Having announced their new album back in August, popular internationals Baroness have now inked a domestic deal with Cooking Vinyl Australia, which will see the label release their new record this December.

The upcoming full-length, 'Purple', marks a follow-up to 2012's 'Yellow & Green'.

“We wanted to write with our normal focus on artistry, balanced against an increased level of energy and focus. It was important for us to write our new songs with the type of enthusiasm and expressiveness that could act as a counterpoint to the album’s dark themes.  As a result, the music came out in an intense, heavy and sonically captivating in a new way, which was important, loathe, as we are to fall into any kind of complacency pitfall or formulaic songwriting routine.

"Purple is the most fully realized representation of our intention as a band; considering the amount of physical and mental energy spent writing it, we have accomplished something which would have seemed impossible to us a couple of years ago," guitarist/vocalist John Biazley commented previously.

'Purple' is due out December 18. Pre-orders are available:
