This clip follows fans piecing together quadrants of the album cover that were revealed via t-shirts shipped last week as part of the band’s deluxe album pre-order bundles.
Baizley has done the artwork for all of Baroness’ releases as well as fine art and album art for bands including Skeletonwitch, Black Tusk, Kvelertak and Kylesa. A gallery can be seen at www.aperfectmonster.com.
The latest video is part of a series of clips the band is sharing with fans, documenting the making of Purple, from line-up changes, to recording and now artwork. The most recent clip focused on the guitar work for the 10-song album arrived via Guitar World (http://bit.ly/1RYWm38) and all four already released videos as well as the video for “Chlorine & Wine” (https://youtu.be/DnYO7iQfQDQ), are viewable via YouTube (www.youtube.com/baronessmusic).
