Synopsis

Album Description

2009 album from the reunited cosmic Doom Metal band. One of the heaviest and most respected bands in Metal, Yob are renowned for their unique brand of epic, crushing sludge doom. Founded in 1996 in Eugene, Oregon, the band developed a reputation as the heaviest Doom Metal three-piece ever alongside the legendary Sleep. In 2006, however, vocalist / guitarist Mike Schedit announced the group's split after three albums on labels such as Abstract Sounds and Metal Blade Records.

CD Reviews

Ultimate Doom!!!!!!!!

Mark Johnson | Portland, Or | 07/14/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The new YOB disk kicks out DOOM in a way only Mike Scheidt can unleash.....sweet "quietudes" followed by thunderous, slow, skull-splitting sonic pleasure!!!!"

4.5 stars: Majestic blackened doom

"It's radd to see the return of YOB after the horrible legal fiasco Mike's other band Middian got mixed up in. that said, The Great Cessation might be YOB's best record yet, and it's certainly the angriest. They don't break from their formula, though - glacial-paced, Godzilla-stomping doom with some Dio-esque vocals, maybe a little black metal influence vocally. It's the guitar playing and tone that's the hook here, though - Mike's sound is god-like, and you should get familiar if you're interested in the sonic possiblities of modern doom."

Brutal, sad, haunting, ... moving...

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Brutal, sad, eerie, haunting took me from slow, fist in the air head banging with burning the altar, to the triumphant otherwordly vocal hooks on the Lie that is sin to the vocals on the great cessation practically moving me to tears. Yob is... unreal.."
