BARONESS, the Savannah-based quartet, return with a new album, titled Yellow & Green, on July 17th via Relapse Records.

Baroness have unveiled the art for Yellow & Green, created by John Baizely, front man for the band who has created all of the band's artwork as well as artwork for KYLESA, BLACK TUSK and SKELETONWITCH.

The band has also unveiled a new website at Baronessmusic.com. The new site reflects the artwork from Yellow & Green and is the band's first official website.

Yellow & Green reunites Baroness with Blue Record producer John Congleton, following both the band's busiest period (multiple worldwide tours including stops at Coachella, Bonnaroo and Soundwave) and most luxurious year, having taken nearly all of 2011 off to freely write and demo for the 2CD/LP album.

"We had been on tour for eight years, and we decided to take a break from our adventure to dig our heels in at home and write a new record," explains John Baizley, front man for the band and the artist responsible for Baroness' now iconic album art. "We spent the entirety of the past year dedicating ourselves to the new album. Without the break from touring and the time we took to rest and reflect, we would have been entirely unable to write this new record. We have become re-inspired. Now it's time to get back out on the road."
