After creating two EPs that captivated critics and allowed the group to build a small but loyal following, Baroness, a quartet from Savannah, Georgia, led by singer and guitarist John Baizley (who, besides writing most of the band's songs, also created their album covers), made their official debut in 2007 with the release of the "Red Album" under Relapse Records.
