Album of the day: Yob – Live At Roadburn 2010
Posted on Monday, October 17th, 2011
Lovingly pinched from The Sleeping Shaman: “We’re gonna play four songs and that will be one hour” says Yob mainman Mike Scheidt at the beginning of this Roadburn 2010 set, thus letting the audience know exactly what to expect – cosmic, sprawling psychedelic doom of the highest order (no pun intended). Yob are an intimidatingly dense enough proposition when recorded in a studio, and live they pull no punches and give no quarter.
Scheidt’s guitar spews out churning world-class riffage that can be angular and heavy as lead or ethereal and deeply psychedelic by turns, all the while wailing like Geddy Lee on downers then dropping down into the foulest pits of hades to dredge up a bestial roar, bassist Aaron Reiseberg holds down the low-end like it ain’t no thing and anchors the flightier parts down with a rock-steady pulse and skinsman Travis Foster smashes seven bells out of his kit and provides the driving propulsion when needed.
Yob are a well-oiled, fluid doom metal machine, and on Live At Roadburn 2010 they prove it effortlessly to both your ears and your eyes.
A CD and DVD package housed in a rather handsome digipack – following on from the Wolves In The Throne Room CD/DVD, from back in 2008 – Live At Roadburn 2010 is an immensely tasty proposition. Both CD and DVD contain the same four tracks and the same audio content, but obviously with a DVD there is the added bonus of the visual element. Shot unobtrusively by a couple of cameras, located out in the auditorium and on the side of the stage, this is very much a no-frills affair: no fancy angles or swooping cameras, just top-notch quality footage of three guys onstage KILLING IT. Who the hell needs any more than that?
