Gold & Grey is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Baroness, released on June 14, 2019, through the band’s own label, Abraxan Hymns. It marked the debut of guitarist and vocalist Gina Gleason and continued the group’s chromatic album series, serving as the sixth and final entry in the color-themed sequence that began with Red Album in 2007. Mastering was handled by Dave Fridmann, who had also produced their previous record, and whose work gave the album its dense, textured sound.
The record reflects Baroness at their most ambitious and experimental, blending progressive metal, sludge, and psychedelic rock influences into a sprawling, unpredictable collection of songs. Singles like “Borderlines,” “Seasons,” and “Throw Me an Anchor” showcased the band’s willingness to push beyond their earlier heaviness into more melodic and atmospheric territory, while still maintaining their signature intensity. The album’s artwork, created by frontman John Baizley, continues his nature-inspired visual narrative and serves as a deeply personal reflection on the band’s twelve-year journey, bringing their chromatic era to a close.
Upon release, Gold & Grey received universal acclaim, earning a 91/100 on Metacritic and ranking as one of the highest-rated albums of 2019. It debuted at number 39 on the Billboard 200, topping the Independent Albums chart and reaching number 2 on both the Hard Rock and Vinyl Albums charts, while also becoming the band’s highest-charting release in the United Kingdom. Critics widely praised the album’s adventurous spirit, emotional depth, and fearless reinvention, solidifying Gold & Grey as a career-defining moment for Baroness.
