----------------------------------------
"Slow is fast," says Mike Scheidt, singer, guitarist, and creative nucleus of the Oregon-based doom metal trio YOB. It's a concept that speaks to both the immense propulsion of their megalithic compositions and the way their artistry has patiently unfurled across their 25-year tenure. Change and revelation take time. You can't snap yourself into epiphany and you can't force yourself into another shape. You have to trudge. It doesn't mean you're failing. You persevere through the muck or you stop and you sink. There is no third way.
YOB's music spreads across a plain where vast weather systems converge. Since sharing their first demo in 2000, the band has slowly, graciously gathered a devoted audience into their planetary orbit. Together with bassist Aaron Rieseberg and drummer Dave French, Scheidt tethers pendulous riffs to sky-flung vocals, sinking deep into the trenches and then cresting through the clouds. From the stoner rock ripples of their 2002 debut Elaborations of Carbon through the cavernous echoes of 2018's Our Raw Heart, YOB wield their totalizing gravity to bore into the light that hides in everything.
