Yob is an American stoner/doom metal band hailing from Eugene, Oregon. Founded in 1996 by Mike Scheidt, the group experienced a brief hiatus in 2006 before reforming with a new lineup. Currently consisting of *Mike Scheidt* on guitars and vocals, *Aaron Rieseberg* on bass, and *Dave French* on drums, Yob continues to captivate audiences with their powerful sound.

Known for their distinct blend of heavy riffs and introspective lyrics, Yob has carved out a unique space within the metal genre. Drawing inspiration from bands like Weedeater, Cough, and Electric Wizard among others, their music resonates with fans who appreciate raw emotion combined with crushing instrumentation.

With a discography spanning over two decades, Yob has established themselves as one of the leading forces in the stoner/doom metal scene. Their albums showcase both technical prowess and an unwavering commitment to artistic integrity. From their early releases to their more recent offerings such as "Our Raw Heart," Yob's music continues to push boundaries and leave a lasting impact on listeners.

Two years after leveling the expectations of critics and listeners alike with 'Atma', doom trio powerhouse Yob unleashes '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 is the Yob way, the tracks here don't simply offer a vacuous glimpse into the already riff-soaked doom genre. While giving due sonic credit to cornerstone influences such as Cathedral, Sleep, Electric Wizard, and Black Sabbath - Yob immediately set out to define a sound wholly singular and utterly devastating in its cathartic enormity, incomparable to any other music being created at the time. 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.
