YOB: Doom Metal Conjurors Unleash First Video Teaser; Forthcoming New Full-Length To Be Unveiled Via Neurot This Fall
 |
Long-running Oregon doom metal conjurors and recent Neurot signees, YOB, are pleased to unveil the first taste of their forthcoming new long player. Titled Clearing The Path To Ascend,
the trio's latest audio exploration was recorded at Gung Ho Studio in
Eugene, notorious for its reserve of vintage equipment, alongside
longtime collaborator/iconic sound-sage Billy Barnett, who mastered YOB's Atma, The Great Cessation, The Unreal Never Lived and The Illusion Of Motion. Mastering was handled by Brad Boatright (Sleep, Beastmilk, Nails) at Audiosiege Engineering. The result is a wholly cathartic, sonicly enormous, riff-soaked sound collage of dark and light.
Comments founding vocalist/guitarist Mike Scheidt, "Writing
this album felt like being plugged into a main. Emotionally, it's our
heaviest. But it also has some real beauty and light. We dug the deepest
we ever have to get to the heart of these tunes."
YOB:
Mike Scheidt - vocals/guitars
Travis Foster - drums
Aaron Rieseberg - Bass
Clearing The Path To Ascend will be released via Neurot Recordings this Fall. Further details to be disclosed in the coming weeks.
"YOB might be one of the best bands in North America," - Ben Ratliff; New York Times
"The
second track on Clearing The Path To Ascend has some of the most
furious drums I've ever heard from Travis Foster. We're talking Through
Silver In Blood-level." - The Obelisk's Roadburn 2014 Recap
