YOB

oh snap!

indie hipsters are actually pretty split about ATP, tbh

I know, it was just a joke about that thread you started a while back :)

:)

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.

An all metal ATP in Scotland would be great.

headliner would be Metallica playing their genre-defining 2003 LP in full

we're discussing metal here, not soft arena rock

headliner would be Staind playing their genre-defining 2003 LP in full

there's a difference?

An all metal ATP in Scotland would be great.

its in another country!!!

a similar country though

would you travel to canada for a festival? ;)

yeah, they got one just a little ways north

pretty bummed to've missed these guys at the Sleep show a couple weeks back

the 2 extra tracks on the vinyl release of The Great Cessation are great btw

they are! lol cuz i didn't know they were bonus, strange now to think of the album without them

do we know what color the Southern Lord subscriber series version is?

tear stained splatter something

clear I think.

xpost

looooooooool

I thought the only way to get it was from subscriber series? Where did you get yours, guys?

They have it for sale at my local indie record shop.

You can order it here if you like.

its only the colour vinyl that is subscription series

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.

YOB is love.

new album rawks

would love to hear some other opinions on this one; mine is undercooked, likely.

nate? contenderizer? whiney?

rawks

dont like it nearly as much as the LIFE SLUDGE of the last one, but dudes are actually writing riffs now and arent bad at it

singer looks like metal john lennon

vinyl is up for sale

Mike Scheidt of YOB will be releasing his first solo, and for that matter his first acoustic, record later this year via Thrill Jockey.
Read about it here http://www.thrilljockey.com/news/.

i never got my yob vinyl btw. didnt arrive

Solo album o_0

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.

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.

Billy is a super nice guy and Gung Ho has good gear

these guys are such a source of local pride for me

fuck, the new record is good!

seeing 'em tonight, looking fwd to it. I don't get wrapped up in their music the way a lot of ppl to but when I saw them in London a couple of years back w/o really hearing them beforehand they were p undeniable

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.

newest album is really entrancing. esp all the open high strings they let ring out all the time....

can't wait to see em w/ Witch Mountain Saturday

They were incredible in NY on Saturday. Best I've seen them

I'm blasting Catharsis in a parking lot not giving a fuck

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.

saw them last night, they were great and really immersive
unfortunately there were some dickheads trying to mosh (to yob?!) and they squashed the vibe temporarily

YOB revive

Our Raw Heart is awesome

best band

Pretty great band.

can't wait for the show here in july
the last one really stuck with me

viva YOB

oh good it's thunderstorming tomorrow, perfect time to put on the unreal never lived and feel the air crackle

the pride of my adopted hometown and great people IRL as well

not ideal listening circumstances but satisfying nevertheless

xxpost Mike is honestly one of the nicest, most thoughtful musicians I've ever interviewed

beautiful album imo. glad he's still able to make music. love every album they've ever put out

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.

<3

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.

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

Great Cessation is helping with my bleak mood.

i once cried to "The Lie That is Sin" live so it fits.

seriously, though, can tell Mike was in a bad headspace on this one.

I bought that one a while back and never really listened to it enough... must put it on!!
