So, Apple Music gave me my replay for the year thus far. Apparently, I listened to Yob once or twice. 😃
Let's goooo
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.
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...
Yob has restocked their bandcamp merch page, and two of their t shirts are on sale today for Bandcamp Friday for just $14 each.
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.
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
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?

YOB is love YOB is life
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)
Set list from Yob’s set at Stumpfest X in Portland, Oregon (4/12/24):
Prepare the Ground, Atma, Upon the Sight of the Other Shore, Pain of I, Marrow, Nothing to Win.
Pain of I was really amazing to hear live.
Also, Mike said “We are actively working in new material, and will be recording this year.”
🤘🤘
Got a new tattoo today. The tree is the sound wave from Beauty in Falling Leaves. With watercolor leaves added.
Anyone else’s copy of clearing the path to ascend make a scratchy sound when it goes over the change in color spots? I’m new to vinyl. Thanks, yob is love
This album is unbelievably transcendental metal. What others can you suggest?
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.
