Background
During a European tour in support of Baroness' fifth studio album Gold & Grey[4] (which had released several months earlier), the band performed songs from the record live in Maida Vale Studios[5] for BBC Radio 1's Rock Show with Daniel P. Carter.[2] This session resulted in Live at Maida Vale – Vol. II, a follow-up EP to the group's original Live at Maida Vale release from 2013.
Release
Live at Maida Vale – Vol. II was released through Baroness' Abraxan Hymns label as part of a Record Store Day Black Friday event.[6] It received a limited-edition one-off pressing of 3500 copies on 12" vinyl.[7] Like the original Liva at Maida Vale release, the A-side of the record contains all of the music while the B-side includes an etching of John Baizley's cover artwork.[1] A week after the physical release, the EP was made available for streaming services and it was released as a digital download.[8][9]

Reception
In a review for the German online music magazine HeavyPop, Oliver Gutbrunner praised the production of Live at Maida Vale – Vol. II as sounding better than that of Gold & Grey's. He gave the EP a 6/10 rating, saying "If you absolve the band of their sludge heritage and classify it as consumer-friendly alternative/stoner rock, the performance has bite, even if the melodies and hooks remain interchangeable."[10]
