Earlier this week, Baroness premiered another new song off their upcoming double-album, Yellow & Green. Stream "March to the Sea" below.
The double-album features a major shift in directions for the band, as — much like the new releases from Mastodon and Opeth — it features more melodic vocals, with the music even drifting into shoegaze and post-punk directions at times.
Baroness will release Yellow & Green next month, July 17, via Relapse Records.
