While many assume Baroness are still getting over their scary bus crash from last year, the band are ready to move forward. Even though two members quit the band, they have reassembled and released a new video diary announcing "here we are world, we're ready for you!"
A few weeks ago, the band announced Nick Jost (bass) and Sebastian Thomson (drums) would be filling in, temporarily at first, but perhaps for even longer later on down the road. The band released this video update, with new interviews with frontman John Baizley and guitarist Pete Adams being adamant about not letting the bus crash define them as a band and wanting to get out there on the road and play again. It's a great video piece, directed by Jimmy Hubbard:
