I guess I listen to Yob a little bit…

So, Apple Music gave me my replay for the year thus far. Apparently, I listened to Yob once or twice. 😃

Information / guess about the new record?

Hey, as far as i know; Aaron talk about in a podcast about 1-2 year ago that they have material for multiple albums but they about to decide in which fashion they’d be publish. Also we had that Mike photos in studio / testing environment. I even remember Mike sharing lyrics in his account late 2019 saying that he is working on new material before pandemics release. Of course theres a lot going on but any guess or information do you have about the new material, i have big expectations because it is the time that Mike has gone through a lot at the same time it seems he has some degree of mental control in his life as well. This awaken feeling may yield the both heaviest and emotional record like 2014 i guess, just speculation.

Denver Metal and Beer Fest

World needs more Yob. Glad to see them in Denver in a few weeks.

I assume setlist similar to those from the NW shows this year. Still chasing to see Marrow live, so hope I get it.

At same time this being a festival, I guess less stage time for Yob. Guess less likely they play 20 min songs, but hey maybe we get lucky.

Anyone going? Any hopes and expectations? Whoever thought of Metal and Beer as a festival is brilliant. There is a Yob beer, albeit a Pale Ale...

Pardon me but my Imposter Syndrome is showing

So I'm standing there at work today, talking to this dude about his Sleep hat. He asks if I’ve ever seen them live and I haven’t. He mentions that he thinks they're going to be touring soon, but probably won't hit our town.

I say "it'd be awesome if they came through and played with Yob", to which he replies "Oh, I'm in Yob."

It was fucking Mike Scheidt that I was talking to. As soon as he said it, I recognized him but I felt like such a dumbass.

Lyrics to Essence (Bonus Track)

Hi fellow YOB enthusiasts,

I was wondering if anyone has the lyrics to the track - Essence (Bonus Track) from the album The Unreal Never Lived.

As I am not a native English speaker, it's difficult to try to do it by hearing.

Thanks a bunch,
A fellow adrift in the ocean

Middian Vinyl

Seeking this out. Appreciate it’s rare and expensive.

I believe Metal Blade owns rights.

Does anyone know if this could be repressed or due to legal matter that helped break them up hinder this?

Imagine that next YOB album is just covers like their version of Perfect Strangers. What’s your dream track list?

I might have thought too much about this unlikely scenario. What if Perfect Strangers is part of a full album of covers? Here’s my dream track list!

Man on the silver mountain (Rainbow)

Spiritual Healing (Death)

2112 (Rush)

The Nile Song (Pink Floyd)

Master of the Universe (Hawkwind)

For Whom The Bell Tolls (Metallica)

Rise Above (Black Flag)

Metal Guru (T-Rex)

Spirit Caravan (Black Sabbath)

Clearing the Path...

This album is unbelievably transcendental metal. What others can you suggest?

Anyone have an audio recording from Saturday night of Yob or Ninth Moon Black?

Decided last minute to record the show. It was so fucking loud the audio kept glitching out. Didn’t make arrangements to set up my audio recorder. So I have 4k anamorphic footage of the entire night, but the audio makes it almost unwatchable. If anyone has anything I might be able to salvage it.
