Album of earth's existence.

"Got a courtesy call from the grim reaper and I knew he would be back" Such wisdom. All Hail Yob.

Of all the musicians that are out there doing great work, Yob and Mike are SO deserving of all the praise that they get. And more...

[@rickdalbey6009]

Their music is so positive and happy. I like to whistle their melodies as I go about my day. And Mike is such an up guy. So articulate about his near death experience.

[@annettekitterman1880]

Raw, Powerful, Real and deep emotion from life lived. I appreciate his contribution as well as the other two members. Together they are phenomenal. ❤

[@gmotionedc5412]

Cool dude. I can empathize with his journey🔥🤜

[@xWESTICLESx]

I love how North West musicians disregard the barriers between styles like punk and metal and incorporate aspects of everything they like. It’s given us some of the best music of all time.

[@bigdaddypiggy]

He’s right,I was a teenager in the 80’s in the DC area & there were 2 clearly defined cliques...the Punks (mohawaks,shaved heads) & the Metal dudes (long hair,jean jackets,Camaro’s) I remember the Metal guys used to be called Grits....there was no middle ground

[@ryoichiwatanabe648]

Such a humble great wizard he is 🍃☀❄🤟🤟🤟

[@TheOliver353]

Badass

[@IRieAsAVirus37]

What a wonderful person fits right in on Neurot records!!!37 that's pretty intense I feel for you brother got chronic lyme disease and for the first week in the hospital. Meningitis couldn't leave my room for a week still left with a nightmare of chronic lyme disease thanks to the parasites who created the bio-weapon and had a near-death experience but that was kind of my fault with a certain substance that was hot all I can say is if you go through that do not go towards the white light tunnel it's probably a scam to recycle you so back into this prison.. hope to be able to see you guys live sometime but the closest you probably played to me is New York City like 5 hours away

[@Flux799]

Namaste

[@xXeddie92Xx]

i saw them with tool. it was fucking epic.

[@daleweber2579]

Omg, just found another new awesome band. When I first listened to the beginning music of this video. Thought it was a Morbid Angel song. haha What does Yob mean anyways? Mike looks kinda like John Lennon a bit.

[@stephenowens3687]

Yob is English slang, like a lowlife or a scumbag- football hooligans are often called Yobs in the U.K.

[@pieuvre42]

Boy in reverse

[@888jiujitsu]

Yes!!! Punk and metal used to be so much more simple back in the day

[@antoliimayra1356]

@@pieuvre42 that's the slang for "rude boy" in England. To the band, YOB is Love

[@incognitomode2574]
