[4] Previously, John, Summer, Allen, and future-member Pete Adams had played together in a punk rock band called Johnny Welfare and the Paychecks.

[5] Much of the early Baroness material was written by John and Pete at a music store and later a small apartment in Savannah.

[11] After touring Europe with the new lineup, Baroness reunited with Tim in the studio to record two final songs that would appear on a split album with fellow Savannah-based band Unpersons.

[12] The band's first release on the label was a split 7" record with High on Fire and Coliseum, to which Baroness contributed the song "O'Appalachia" from their upcoming album.

[13] Hyperrealist also released a limited one-off pressing of the record on dark red vinyl with etched borders, of which there are 1000 copies.

[18] Throughout the late 2000s, Baroness toured and shared the stage with many bands, including Converge, The Red Chord, High on Fire, Opeth, Coheed and Cambria, Coliseum, Mastodon, Minsk and Clutch.

On September 20, 2008, the band announced that Brian Blickle had been replaced with guitarist and vocalist Pete Adams, who by that point was a member of Valkyrie.

Material from their Roadburn performance was included as a bonus disc on the deluxe edition of the album, while the Japanese release features a cover version of the Descendents song "Bikeage".

[25] In February and March 2010, Baroness played at the Australian Soundwave Festival alongside bands such as Clutch, Isis, Meshuggah, Janes Addiction and Faith No More.

[28] Baroness also performed at the Coachella[29] and Bonnaroo[30] festivals and was selected along with Lamb of God as a support act for Metallica on their late-2010 tour of Australia and New Zealand.

[35] In January 2012, former Unpersons bassist Matt Maggioni began working with Baroness as the band prepared for their next touring cycle.

[41][42] Just days before its release, the band performed songs from Yellow & Green live in Maida Vale Studios for BBC Radio 1's Rock Show with Daniel P.

[43] While touring Europe on August 15, 2012, nine passengers were injured when the German-registered bus in which the band was traveling fell from a viaduct near Bath, England.

Avon Fire and Rescue Service said the incident happened at 11:30 BST; because of heavy rain and reduced visibility, it was not possible for an air ambulance to land.

"[49] The next day, John and Pete Adams opened for Neurosis as a stripped-down version of Baroness, playing "Foolsong" from Yellow & Green.

[54] On March 25, 2013, a statement on Baroness' website officially announced that Matt Maggioni and Allen Blickle had left the group.

[46] A week later, the first leg of Baroness' 2013 US Headlining Tour was announced, as was the addition of Sebastian Thomson and Nick Jost to the band.

[58] Baroness' fourth album, Purple, was recorded in 2015 with producer Dave Fridmann at Tarbox Road Studios in Cassadaga, New York.

[61] On September 24, Baroness released the official music video for "Chlorine & Wine" and announced a North American small venue tour for the fall.

Three days later, they released the album art on their social media accounts, saying, "This painting was born from a deeply personal reflection on the past 12 years of this band's history, and will stand as the 6th and final piece in our chromatically-themed records.

[66] In a September 2020 interview with MetalSucks, Baizley noted that Baroness had written approximately 30 new songs for their sixth studio album.

"[80] By November, Baroness had begun recording their sixth studio album at a rented vacation home in Barryville, New York.

[83] The release includes songs from Gold & Grey which were recorded live in Maida Vale Studios the previous year.

[85] The tour continued into 2022, where they played shows in Europe and North America with bands such as Kvelertak, Mastodon, Killswitch Engage, and Lamb of God.

[86][87] On March 11, 2022, former Baroness guitarist Brian Blickle joined the band on stage to play "Isak" at the Golden Pony in Harrisonburg, Virginia.

They shared the album's lead single, "Last Word", and announced a North American tour with support acts including Sheer Mag, Jesus Piece, Portrayal of Guilt and Primitive Man.
