      Holy shit, this is horrible. Broken bones mean no guitar playing for a while, and vertebaes? Man this is no good at all. Blessings and prayers to Baroness and crew. Get well soon boys.

    • this is especially shitty because these guys seems like genuinely good dudes. i randomly watched an interview with them a couple weeks ago and decided to give their music another listen just because they seemed like good people.

      hoping for speedy and full recoveries for all involved.
