YOB Enter Studio To Record New Album
April 30, 2011, 13 years ago
American doom metallers YOB have entered Dogwood Studios in Eugene, Oregon with producer Jeff Olsen to begin work on their sixth massive album. This marks the second time that the band has teamed with Profound Lore Records, the first being on 2009's The Great Cessation.
YOB vocalist/guitarist Mike Scheidt had the following to say: "YOB is entering the studio this week to record our 6th full-length yet-to-be-titled album. We will be recording with Jeff Olsen at Dogwood Studios in Eugene, Oregon, where every YOB recording has been realized. Profound Lore will be handling the album's release and we couldn't be happier. This album is very aggressive. Certainly it has all of the elements of our other albums, but it propels and pummels in ways that are unique in our catologue. We are very excited to share this new music with our friends worldwide.
YOB has received many request over the years to tour again. This year, we will do exactly that. After we are done recording, we will begin rehearsing for a full US tour beginning the 1st week of July, followed by a full European tour in September. We are thrilled to announce that our label mates Dark Castle will be accompanying YOB on all of the dates both in the US and in Europe, with Rob Shaffer of DARK CASTLE laying down drums for YOB on both tours. It is going to be a great year for us, and we can't wait to see you on the road! DOOM!!!"
Dates for the upcoming YOB tour with Dark Castle will be revealed shortly.
