Did you miss me here last week? Ha! Of course you didn’t. But either way…oh hey, it’s the last Initial Descent of the year! That’s right, with Christmas coming up next Friday and New Year’s Day the Friday after that, there’s not a chance in hell I’ll be blogging. Sorry, not sorry, bands that wait ’til the last minute (or, I suppose, the very first minute) to release their albums.

So all that said, good on Baroness for sneaking their new album in before my personal deadline! Take a look at that and everything else we’ve got dropping this week after the jump:
