Ophidian Trek 2012: Baroness and Meshuggah @ St Andrew’s Hall 5/16/12 (Concert Review & Photos)

Meshuggah showed Detroit why they have been selling out shows for the Ophidian Trek 2012 tour with their gloriously heavy sound. We are keen on Meshuggah, but last Wednesday night was all about Baroness. We had heard a big buzz about the group, and made it a priority to check them out. Baroness took the stage with an intense energy that matched the crowd’s eagerness to rock. The group is touring in preparation for the release of their new album that comes out July 17. In fact,  Singer John Baizley creates the artwork for all the Baroness albums. Baroness has received rave reviews from the toughest of music critics, and their Detroit performance reinforced that positivity and showed that they continue to skillfully refine and redefine their musical style. Yellow & Green will be one of the top albums of the year in the metal genre. Baroness is to respected for their passion to stay committed to creating their own brand of metal music that parallels their maturity as people.
