YOB are in the vanguard of contemporary doom because of the quality and originality of their psych-tinged doom metal music. Led by Mike Scheidt‘s crushing riffage and relentless stomp, the band has claimed their rightful place on the cosmic doom throne while generating new fans and momentum over the last couple of years.
