made me think how balkanized the seattle scene is. like zero audience crossover with the garage/punk shows i usually go out for. why is rockers not want to rock?

Glad they slayed. Sadly haven't had the chance to see them live, though I hope to one of these days.

hi nate
why the fuck does this band never play new york
― kenanpolaris (Whiney G. Weingarten), Saturday, 18 September 2010 19:47 (thirteen years ago) link
i heard it's because they hate NY because indie hipsters there would rather go to a festival that encourages bands to play classic albums in full.

indie hipsters are actually pretty split about ATP, tbh

the same joke could be used to explain why Yob never come to Glasgow, but i dont think ATP even bothers with Glasgow.

The thought of an ATP being held in Ayr does amuse me.

Uta Plotkin is a badass. That show in Seattle was so fun. I drove us home after the show and almost killed the whole band in a freak hydroplane.

No one around here likes it but it's weirdly growing on me. Not sure why or how. Those super earnest vocals and spoken bits certainly require some suspension of, err, irony.
― If Assholes Could Fly This Place Would Be An Airport, Wednesday, 15 August 2012 20:54 (eleven years ago) link
His new material at the live shows is really going somewhere. He doesn't even play most of the album songs live anymore. Rapid growth as per usual. Mike throws away better songs than most people will ever write.

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, Clearing The Path To Ascend is undoubtedly the crowning achievement for a band whose journey now nears two decades of creating music as commanding as it is cathartic.
Could be hyperbole but I love the buildup.

first listen thru i found it kinda tedious, maybe i just need more of a lock-in on the hypnotic elements. but when they get all neurosisy and substitute anguished bellowing for whatever else they've got going, i find it hard to maintain an interest.

i can't believe how great Great Cessation is. like I love all their albums that I'd bought previously but I bought this one at the show and it's just so supremely dark and savage, but constructed so well, with some really pretty passages in there.
― Hammer Smashed Bagels, Wednesday, 1 April 2015 21:16 (nine years ago) link

I saw Yob last year with one of my best friends, who had a mental breakdown earlier that day and almost missed the show. She started crying during "Our Raw Heart", and then went up to Mike to take a picture with him after and he said "I think you need one of these" and hugged her.
He is such a dope guy.
seeing them in Nawlins next week.

they played my favorite Yob song (all 20+ min of "Catharsis") when I saw them last week -- i could not be more grateful to have heard this superlong song performed live and in person. Yob is generous!

Wearing the shirt as I type. I am so glad I went to this show, so grateful for this band's existence. Beauty in Falling Leaves was breathtaking live.
What an odd bill though. Not that I'm complaining, Voivod is the shit.
― ascai, Wednesday, 3 April 2019 21:01 (five years ago) link
Beauty in Falling Leaves was one that I was sad that didn't get played at last year's show so I'm hoping to hear it.
Scheidt has one of the scariest death growls ever. it's so primal
