YOB - Amoeba Green Room Session

[@tylerjacobson8012]

Sheidt is one of the only doom metal guys I’d say really transcends the genre and is doing something that’s completely his own thing. He’s a true artist in that sense. He’s very talented. His music sounds a lot like orchestral music to me. It’s layered which is very odd for doom metal. It also feels more sorrowful than the usual pessimistic tone doom has. His voice is great too. Yob’s really awesome .

[@web5592]

He just gets it

[@joshferguson9703]

I have been playing guitar for 31 yrs with a jazz theory background and obsession with bluegrass and Mike has brought a whole new inspiration to my playing the guy is god tier

Local Band Zebulon Pike. 1 hr 10. 3 songs.

[@danielkorladis7869]

I've seen them play a 45 minute set consisting of only 2 songs lol. Obviously, one of those songs was Catharsis.

[@evolexpeditions7675]

These guys transcend what is DOOM. YOB is in a category of their own. Music of the universe. Of the RAW heart. Of the spirit of man. YOB IS LOVE

[@GPR100]

@Metallic Palate It's a bummer that music is a contest and we can only like one band. Oh wait...

[@Epitaphforyesterday]

i agree with everything you've said. these guys are somewhere outside a lot of the other things. doom doesn't necessarily require transcending though, in my book. we've had some creators and some stubborn stalwarts; all of which i'm a fan of. i don't think that form has reached it's apex of gestation yet. remains to be seen.

[@nickmcgarvey6463]

Yob is one of those bands where you quit your crappy job if you're scheduled to work the night they are in town.

They came to Ottawa and I had a gig that night. Big payer too. Was NOT a happy camper. I believe Bell Witch opened.

[@Trottelheimer]

Goddamn! I'm on a holiday when they're playing in my town now in May. I'm considering cancelling the holiday!

[@maximebellec56]

Scheidt has a voice, or should I say multiple voices, that will make you shiver, empower you or terrify you. He is a great musician, I love YOB

[@horse_dog]

Maxime Bellec yea, Scheidt is probably one of the most versatile vocalists in the Doom sub-genre, although in my opinion YOB is just in a whole league of there own within Doom

[@teddyn3051]

his vocals could move mountains

[@basildog007]

Exceptional recording. Outstanding. Standing ovation. Outstanding standing ovation!!! If you're seated, please stand for Yob.

[@thathandleistakentrythisone]

I really like how during live shows, Yob doesnt face the crowd, they actually face each other, so its like youre watching them play in their garage or studio. Its really refreshing, you get to see them communicate with each other all these non-verbal queues.... it makes for a much tighter performance.

[@andrewwaugh2287]

Check out ManMan

[@xisotopex]

james brown would call out band members while they were playing live, if they made a mistake that he noticed. it would either be a gesture, or some short phrase, maybe a laugh or a jb grunt, something, but if you watch closely you can sometimes see this, however his band was pretty good live and made few mistakes, it is awesome to see a band with rapport with each other.

[@TheCcmarine]

YOB has made my life a little easier to handle!! The ups & downs of my little life have become a bit less drastic when I am centered..and YOB's music is cathartic for me as I am sure it is for them as well as many others who enjoy them. Our Raw Heart is more than just an amazing album, it has deeper meaning and emotes feelings that for me ar haunting and beautiful at the same time!! Any fan of this band already knows how special they are and how powerful the music is but if you really let yourself go and just drift away while listening to YOB ORH it can take you on a journey which can be different each time. I also recommend listening to the full album in one sitting if possible. I've gotten so much from this one album alone that it is possibly the most important album in my collection. For everyone there is that one album that does something magical for them or to them and for me its Our Raw Heart!! I went off on a rant there but I think its an important album and should not be overlooked!! (YOB is LOVE & LOVE is YOB)

[@platonicdescartes]

Glad they played Our Raw Heart, it is probably my all time favorite YOB song.

[@ferox965]

It's insanely hard to play that slow. To keep it in control like this is incredible. YOB are amazing. Those dissonant voicings remind me of Piggy from Voivod in the best possible way.

[@giddycadet]

It was too slow for me to even reliably headbang to it lmao

[@bridgetking4553]

YOB can’t really be compared to anything man, they’re their own beautiful, monolithically heavy, crushing thing.. especially on Our Raw Heart you can tell the three of them have suffered and broken through. Mike’s struggle with major depression and illness, and his immense strength and new will to recover, show greatly. Things like that never truly go away, but recovery is possible. YOB shows us that.

[@377]
