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.

From tragedy to triumph, YOB’s incredible 8th full-length recording was conceived amidst dire circumstances that nearly left frontman Mike Scheidt dead. Suffering from an extremely painful and potentially fatal intestinal disease, Scheidt miraculously recovered and reinvigorated the Oregon trio with a new sense of purpose for Our Raw Heart, an album informed by the will to survive. More exposed than ever both physically and emotionally, YOB bleed out seven riveting tracks of enormous volume and pensive, transcendental beauty across 75 minutes of ultimate doom. A brilliant musical progression in the YOB continuum, Our Raw Heart is the band at their most aggressive, impassioned and eclectic. The riffs are massive, the vocals captivating and the songwriting sublime. Existing in its own organic universe, Our Raw Heart is truly the band’s finest work to date and the apex achievement of what heavy music can accomplish.
