Baroness - Front Toward Enemy Lyrics

nothing like a short-prog banger!

Thought this was gonna be an Incendiary cover

Forgot this album existed! Now something to listen to while studyin

Who the hell mixed this? The over compressed the shit out of everything...

This is fucking good.

I want this, but without vocals. Anyone have any recommendations?? I love the band, don't get me wrong. But I want something else from time to time.

Maybe some songs by Cult Of Luna, but theirs are longer and more slow paced

@julio gonzalez it's okay. Not my style though. But I did learn a new guitar riff from it so thanks lol.

Russian Circles, If These Trees Could Talk, Nap, Catholics, We Lost The Sea, Eagle Claw.. too name a few bands. All instrumental.

@Killbot754 thanks, just woke up a few minutes ago. When I get a chance I'll look em up.

I like this song. So deeper. Met in France for the first time, hope to see you again !

Gina is so fucking cool, what a great addition to the band, everyone else should be jealous, i am!!!!! keep killing it

killing it , such a refreshing sound to here in this age of shit music. so excited to see you on tour.

This could be their best song that I've heard-even better than anything off the Red Album. Incredible song, this and Throw Me an Anchor make the album.

I see the light. I see the light. i see the light.

contrary to most of the old fans of fans of the early period (me....) I still liked Yellow and Green or wjaytaver color it was, then Purple I even bought the expensive vynil but this...dont know....stuill have to understand. and yes the mix and production really shit. i wonder how an already affirmed band can put out an LP with sucj production.......................

Ask Metallica...

i thought the purple album sounded far worse. Here i can here the drum sections far better and the bass is far more audible whereas for instance in shock me it was muddy and more of a wall of midtoned mess. this still isn't great, but at least i understand the choice in sound

I do not understand how the fuck the are people that say this album is bad

プロデューサ替えたほうがいいよ
なんでこんな音造りにしたの

Baroness should release the raw stems for fan remixes. I actually kinda like the mix with my system cranked up, but I understand the dissension

@Flappy Terryfolds I'm not denying that.

@Flappy Terryfolds yeah like I was listening to old beatles, zep, sabbath, etc. and they all have this horrible rough sound at times. like just due to bad audio engineering or decision making. doesn't make me like them any less :-)

Also I wonder how this sounds on vinyl

Awesome album.Love the interludes.Nice raw fuzzy production.Heavy stuff.

That bass 🤯

Dude, I love you guys, you're like in my top three bands, but this mix sucks. The drums aren't even there. You have to elevate the drums to a point where they can help carry the song.

Please understand that this criticism comes from a place of deep love. Whenever someone says modern music sucks, I use Baroness as a defense that real music is alive and well.. But this mix is not up to the standard you established with red and blue. Also Purple was fucking badass, I don't care what anyone says, that record is amazing


One way or another, I love your music and I would die for you. But you need to elevate the drums. This mix doesnt cut it

@Brendan McDonald not to my ears, not at all

They seem to have a muddy sound to their albums (except red and blue) . Which really stresses some sound systems. It can sound good, but on some speakers it just sounds bad. Still loving the music though

I'm starting to wonder if anyone heared the purple album. For instance the track shock sounded far worse, a muddy midtoned mess. This at least sounds far more audible

this mix is garbage

Fact: this song is a certified BANGER🤘🏾

Edit: Does anyone know the time signature for this song???

Sounds like 4/4 to me, listening to the kick and the way the phrases are broken up relative to that.

Outlaw Shogun 42

Actually, I think it’s 8/4

It feels like a combination of things. I still cant nail it down.. 4/4 works for part of the song, but other bits are something else entirely.

Sounds more like 8/4 to me

So amazing. Needs to be listened on a decent sound system or cans, though. This does it no justice.

i fucking love this album

Fantastic album. Thank you.

Love the song but what the fuck happened to the production

These vocals weirdly scratching a Deftones itch for me

I definitely don't hear that at all haha but glad you got your itch scratched

Yo, I kinda get that! Not Chino directly, but I hear similarities to vocalists that inspire him. It's almost like 80s goth in a strange way. Like if Robert Smith sang for a sludge band. You feel me?

This song rips

Awesome 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Kickass bass!

Front Toward Enemy

So, I lied
It was a cold summer
By fall
Your wind blows like a birch in
Spring

We're headed for disaster
And I won't close my eyes until it's over
So carry on
Some wars I'd proudly die in
But most of us are holding on to more [?]
I carried on
And if every drop of blood I shed
Was spilled in vain
I carried on

We're headed for disaster
Disaster
Front towards enemy
We can only fight
Front towards enemy

Front towards enemy
Enemy

There's a knot of rope that lives between my shoulders
Doesn't mean that I anticipate
And I'm not afraid of dying
Like I know I should be

So, I lied
It was a cold summer
By fall
Winter's groove will blow like a birch in
Spring

Fun fact:
Front Toward Enemy is what’s printed on the business end of the
M18A1 Claymore mine.

Richard Skinner Ron Swanson knew that.

Literally why I listened to this.

This album is simultaneously the best and worst sounding collection of music you´ve released.

I think it just takes time. It definitely sounds like a lot of indiscernible noise at first. But once you kind of understand where these songs are trying to go, I've actually found the loud, potent mix to be a breath of fresh air honestly. It's a rather unique and surprisingly compelling sonic aesthetic.

The mix blows.

Trevor, that's what purple was. This is just a crappy mix, it's not finished.

Ha-ha. I get your point. I think this sound is quite unique to get attention to itself and to be easily recognisable. You can hear everything in it, all the indtruments in a strange form. I like it very much. This sound has personality. And it counts.

The mix is awful and too many interludes but it also includes some of the best songs they have written

You guys rock! Baizley's voice has evolved so much. Gina is killing it on guitar and she is a great singer as well. Amazing Art you guys have created. I am inspired to find my Art and pursue it with the determination and passion you guys have clearly done with this album. Thanks and hopeful to see an acoustic performance in Orange County CA!

You like avenged sevenfold? Had to ask since you reside in oc

The wait is finally over and I am satisfied

Awesomeeeeeee
