YOB To Release Clearing The Path To Ascend This Fall; Video Teaser Streaming
May 19, 2014, 10 years ago
Long-running Oregon doom metal conjurors and recent Neurot signees, Yob, have unveiled 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, sonically 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."
Video teaser:
Clearing The Path To Ascend will be released via Neurot Recordings this Fall. Further details to be disclosed in the coming weeks.
