The discography of Baroness, an American heavy metal band, consists of six studio albums, one compilation album, four extended plays (EPs), thirteen singles, two splits, and twelve music videos. Formed in Savannah, Georgia in 2003, the group was originally composed of vocalist and guitarist John Baizley, guitarist Tim Loose, bassist Summer Welch and drummer Allen Blickle.[1] Signed with Hyperrealist Records, the band released their first two EPs, titled First and Second, in 2004 and 2005, respectively.[1] The split album A Grey Sigh in a Flower Husk – featuring two tracks by Baroness and four by fellow Savannah-based band Unpersons – was released in June 2007.[2] After Loose was replaced by Brian Blickle,[3] the band released its debut full-length studio album Red Album through Relapse Records in September 2007.[4]

A second change of guitarist followed in September 2008, when Blickle left after three years in the band and was replaced by Pete Adams.[3] After the first two Baroness EPs were issued together as First & Second in December 2008,[5] the group's second album Blue Record was released in October 2009.[6] It was the band's first release to chart, reaching number 117 on the US Billboard 200 and topping the Heatseekers Albums chart.[7] [8] Welch left Baroness in late 2011[9] and was replaced in 2012 by Matt Maggioni,[10] although he was not featured on the band's third album, with all bass parts performed by Baizley.[11] Yellow & Green, released in July 2012,[12] reached number 30 on the Billboard 200,[7] while lead single "Take My Bones Away" registered at number 38 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart.[13]

In August 2012, while on tour to promote Yellow & Green, Baroness were involved in a bus crash which resulted in injuries keeping Baizley, Blickle and Maggioni hospitalized for several weeks. Shortly after the group announced they would be returning to touring, Blickle and Maggioni announced that they would be leaving Baroness.[14] The departed members were later replaced by Nick Jost (on bass) and Sebastian Thomson (on drums).[15] The group released its fourth album Purple in December 2015.[16] The album reached number 70 on the Billboard 200,[7] while second single "Shock Me" registered at number 28 on the Mainstream Rock Songs chart.[13]

In 2017, Pete Adams left Baroness and was replaced by Gina Gleason. The band released its fifth album, Gold & Grey, in June 2019, to critical acclaim. Baroness' sixth album, Stone, was released on September 15, 2023.[17]
