While the local hardcore scene has been cutting records reminiscent of the city\u2019s steel mills since the early 1990\u2019s, Black Baron creates the soundtrack to a different side of the city.

Coming from a city devastated by economic decline following the shrinking of its industrial sector, Black Baron evokes the haunting memory of the closure and loss of Hamilton landmarks at a time when the city appears to be on a cultural upswing. The band\u2019s debut full-length album &#8216;Abject Skin,&#8217; which is chock full of new material along with refined versions of tracks taken from their 2013 tape &#8216;Divine Chains,&#8217; is a representation of a band sticking to their hometown roots all while carving their own vicious path.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Black-Baron1.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-12918\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Black-Baron1.jpg?resize=300%2C300\" alt=\"12inchJacket_offset\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Black-Baron1.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Black-Baron1.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Black-Baron1.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Black-Baron1.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nTrack listing:<\/strong><br \/>\n1.
