Yob - Get ready to release 'Clearing the path to Ascend' !!!

Two years after leveling the expectations of critics and listeners alike with 'Atma', Portland Doom bringers, Yob, prepare to unleash 'Clearing the path to Ascend' an aptly titled album for what will undoubtedly be the crowning achievement for a band whose journey now nears two decades of creating music as commanding as it is cathartic. As in the Yob way, the tracks here don’t simply offer a vacuous glimpse into the already riff soaked Doom genre.

 

These songs demand the tandem attention of mind, body, and soul etching a mark across a sound that finds Yob as formidable and unequaled as they’ve ever been. True ascension requires a destruction of those barriers that prevent any movement forward. Unsurprisingly Yob pummels any and all of these obstacles with absolute authority, clearing the way for a genuinely visceral listening experience and climbing upward into a realm that sets the band in a Heavy Metal place that has been and will always remain wholly their own. 

'Clearing the path to Ascend' was recorded at Gung Ho Studio in Eugene, notorious for its reserve of vintage equipment, alongside longtime collaborator / iconic sound sage Billy Barnett and mastered by Brad Boatright (Sleep, Beastmilk, Nails) at Audiosiege Engineering. Yob will release 'Clearing the path to Ascend' on CD and digitally via Neurot Recordings on the 1st of September and on vinyl via Relapse Records on 2nd of September.
