By Andy O'Connor (TX) Yob When: September 16, 2012 Where: Beauty Ballroom, Austin, TX With: Norska, Cormorant, JT Habersaat Yob are from the sunshine-deficient Eugene, Oregon. Sunday, they must have felt like they were at home, as Austin's skies were makin' it rain like Lil' B did a surprise show. Had Yob performed in an outdoor space, as opposed to the Beauty Ballroom, they may have parted

I am absolutely loving these Scion A/V label showcase videos. If you missed it before, they've done profiles on Prosthetic Records, Nuclear Blast and Relapse. Now, Profound Lore gets the label treatment, and for a niche label putting out some of the best ambient/stoner metal out there, it's certainly exciting to see their bands get ...

Profound Lore is the latest record label to be the lucky recipient of truckloads of free Scion socks, joining fellow metal brethren at Nuclear Blast, Relapse and Prosthetic who've already gotten their chance to make their feet very, very comfortable for years to come. Profound Lore's Scion-sponsored free show featured perennial MetalSucks faves The Atlas [...]

YOB, KISS IT GOODBYE, EIGHT BELLS ( Hawthorne Theatre , 1507 SE 39th) Eugene, Oregon's YOB achieve the difficult feat of making doom metal that balances heaviness with airiness. They can write a 23-minute track called "Catharsis" that doesn't really deliver what the title promises, but it's cool: YOB's early Earth meets Monster Magnet guitar tones and Mike Scheidt's oddly effeminate-witchy vocals strike just an off enough chord to make them stand out from the hirsute masses of similar artists. YOB's ability to avoid the stodgy, monolithic dynamics common to doom metal also elevates them into [...]

by BBG Yob Portland doom trio Yob were kind enough to swing through NYC on their way to Maryland Deathfest, playing The Bell House on May 23 . They were joined by Richmond's Cough , also MDF-bound with both playing the doom-centric Sunday (5/27) lineup ( with Electric Wizard ). More pictures from Bell House are below. Yob's Mike Scheidt performed a solo set to open the Bell House [...]

Mike Scheidt is best-known as the frontman of the thundering Oregonian doom metal power trio YOB. But on his forthcoming solo debut Stay Awake , Scheidt takes on an entirely different sound - a tender, emotive, Southern-inflected singer-songwriter style that might suit his voice even better than YOB's elephant-stampede rumble. Download the lovely album track "In Your Light" below. Read More...

Tilburg, Netherlands was the place to be this weekend if you appreciate heavy music AT ALL . It's my 2nd trip to Roadburn , and not likely to be my last. This is the festival that screams community in all the right ways. The festival's head, Walter, crafts a lineup from the roots of doom, rock and riff heavy original rock to the latest avant garde satanic acoustic bands, and it all works! This is the companion post to go with my program airing today, April 19th from Noon-3pm (if you're reading [...]
