Baroness have issued a video for their track Chlorine & Wine from their upcoming album entitled Purple.
The US outfit first studio release since 2012’s Yellow & Green is out on December 18 via their own Abraxan Hymns label – and the promo has been launched to mark the announcement of an 18-date US tour, kicking off in Columbus on November 27.
Frontman John Baizley said of the album: “Purple is the most fully realised 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.”
Purple is available to pre-order.
