Hey Hoyt any chance of getting one of best metal bands in Georgia?

[Cheiron]

Baroness up here?

Everybody should check out Baroness's The Red Album. Its finding its way into many people's top of the year lists. Another band fit to open up ProgPower showcase. And definitely one of the best metal bands in Georgia.

 

[Rider of Theli]

never heard of them.

link, perhaps?

[VenomGA]

never heard of them. Where are they from?

 

[Cheiron]

Savannah.

 

[DAVETHEMETALGUY]

yeah, they KICK ASS

 

[VenomGA]

Interesting....

 

[Rider of Theli]

Savannah.

I'll have to check their MySpace when I get home from work.

Fortunately they have not blocked the ProgPower For- *white noise* ....

 

[Dolamite S. Biffle]

I didnt care for them.

Red Album is one of my top 5 albums of the year. It's one of the greatest albums I've heard in a long, long time. Think Mastodon meets Godspeed You! Black Emperor. I'd kill to see that band.

Red Album is quite good-- kind of so-so on the "Second" album, though. I've missed these guys when they've come through unfortunately. I think they recently did a string of shows with Zoroaster, which would have been somewhat heavy...

Best in Georgia? Theocracy and A Lower Deep-no question!

Best in Georgia? Theocracy and A Lower Deep-no question!

*cough*Mastodon*cough*

But I'm pleased with the recent upsurge of quality prog/power metal acts that has taken place in the past 2 years.

 

[zekeyou]

Let's not forget Jucifer and Hallow's Eve...

 

[Pellaz]

What, no love for Becoming the Archetype or Norma Jean?

 

[Magius]

DÅÅTH?

 

[Rider of Theli]

stuck mojo?

 

[Pellaz]

Crawlspac-- err, Sevendust?


OutKast? (oddly enough, our old friend Matt, ex-Damnage, now plays guitar for 'em)

Hey Hoyt any chance of getting one of best metal bands in Georgia - Baroness up here?...

I suppose I should answer the initial question before this turns into a Georgia Metal Listing.

The chances are the same as any other band in Georgia or elsewhere - it all depends on supply and demand. If Baroness demands the right amount of money and if enough fans are supplied to cover those expenses, then no problem. But I'm not going to lose money on any ventures going forward. I promise you that. :Smug:

I'm sure that Baroness would draw fairly well up in Atlanta. Honestly, I was surprised that you haven't heard of them since they've had a lot of coverage on metal sites lately and even indie rock sites (Pitchfork Media gave Red Album an 8.4, which is unbelievably high for that site if you're familiar with it). They're signed to Relapse though so their guarantee might be a bit larger than what you usually work with.
