A second change of guitarist followed in September 2008, when Blickle left after just two 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 April 2012 and was replaced by Matt Maggioni,[9] although he was not featured on the band's third album, with all bass performed by Baizley.[10] Yellow & Green, released in July 2012,[11] 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.[12]

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 that they would be returning to touring, Blickle and Maggioni announced that they would be leaving.[13] The departed members were later replaced by Nick Jost (on bass) and Sebastian Thomson (on drums).[14] The group released its fourth album Purple in December 2015.[15] 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.[12]
