Sad to hear about the passing of original **Baroness** drummer **Allen Blickle**, who co-founded the band with vocalist/guitarist John Baizley, guitarist Tim Loose, and bassist Summer Welch in 2003 and went on to play on their *First* (2004) and *Second*(2005) EPs, and their first three albums: 2007’s *Red Album*, 2009’s *Blue Record*, and 2012’s *Yellow & Green*.
