Digital pre-orders, which also include an instant download of “Chlorine & Wine”, are available via iTunes, Amazon and Google Play.
“We’ve been off tour for too long,” said Baizley. “It’s time for BARONESS to start playing shows in the U.S. again. We’re doing a short run through the eastern half of the States, in small clubs, getting our new songs stage ready for 2016. Who knows, maybe we’ll even throw in a few songs from the very early EPs and albums. See you soon…”
