YOB (US)
schedule:
Formed in Oregon in 2000, YOB are among the most revered acts in modern doom metal, crafting colossal soundscapes that balance crushing weight with transcendent beauty. Led by vocalist and guitarist Mike Scheidt, with bassist Aaron Rieseberg and drummer Dave French, the trio stretch monolithic riffs into hypnotic, spiritual journeys. Drawing from the heaviness of Black Sabbath and Sleep, their albums—from Elaborations of Carbon to Our Raw Heart—have earned cult status, while their live shows are renowned as immersive, ritual-like experiences.
