Long-running Oregon doom metal conjurors and recent Neurot signees, Yob, will embark upon a massive overseas trek this fall. Slated to commence on September 3rd in Utrecht, the Netherlands, the band will levy their cathartic riff rituals upon twenty-eight cities, the tour coming to a close on October 11th at Desertfest in Antwerp, Belgium. Yob will be joined by Little Rock doom bringers, Pallbearer.

The tour coincides with the release of the trio's new full-length, Clearing The Path To Ascend. Recorded at Gung Ho Studio in Eugene, notorious for its reserve of vintage equipment, alongside longtime collaborator/iconic sound-sage Billy Barnett, and mastered by Brad Boatright (Sleep, Beastmilk, Nails) at Audiosiege Engineering, the four tracks comprising Clearing The Path To Ascend don't simply offer a vacuous glimpse into the already riff-soaked doom genre; these songs demand the tandem attention of mind, body, and soul, etching a mark across a sound that finds Yob as formidable as they've ever been. True ascension requires a destruction of those barriers that prevent any movement forward.
