YOB - New album 2009: The Great Cessation[views:11234][posts:26]____________________________________________ [May 15,2009 9:05am - MikeOvDecrepitvde ""] Official press release: Reunited "cosmic doom metal" band YOB has completed work on its new full-length album, titled "The Great Cessation." The record will see a July 14, 2009 release date via Profound Lore Records. Long respected as one of doom metal's finest and most potent bands, YOB creates mastodonic, mind-bending music. "The Great Cessation" was recorded in the band's hometown of Eugene, Oregon with fast-rising producer Sanford Parker (The Gates of Slumber) and is unquestionably the trio's finest hour. Clocking in at just over an hour, the album features 5 epic-length songs that showcase YOB's relentless stomp, brontosaurus pound and holy mountain of gargantuan riffs. Led by the nuclear-strength peristaltic chug of the twenty minute title track, "The Great Cessation" is a recording that threatens to raise the bar for doom metal achievement with a deliberate, maddening momentum. "The album will be called 'The Great Cessation,' states YOB vocalist/guitarist Mike Scheidt when asked for comment. "It has 5 tracks clocking in at 60 minutes. We are incredibly happy with how the tracking turned out. This album has some of our heaviest riffs, ever. We are very much looking forward to sharing these tunes with our friends worldwide." The Great Cessation's foreboding album cover art can be viewed now at this location. The track listing for The Great Cessation is as follows: 1. Burning the Altar (12:34) 2. The Lie that is Sin (11:16) 3. Silence of Heaven (9:48) 4. Breathing from the Shallows (7:35) 5. The Great Cessation (20:34) |

| ____________________________________________ [May 15,2009 9:10am - MikeOvDecrepitvde ""] What do you mean though? Lower case or caps shouldn't alter the pronunciation. |
| _____________________________ [May 15,2009 9:13am - ZJD ""] i think all caps suggests that im supposed to be saying letters, not single sound. |
| __________________________________ [May 15,2009 9:18am - brian_dc ""] I'll just continue to spell the letters out. |
| __________________________________ [May 15,2009 9:19am - brian_dc ""] and if that's wrong, then I don't want to be right. |
| ____________________________________________ [May 15,2009 9:20am - MikeOvDecrepitvde ""] I only capitalized their name because it stands out better and compliments their massive sound. Good to see they're now on Profound Lore and not Metal Blade. Might mean a little less exposure, but the elite will already know this band and the quality they produce. I hope they go out on the road and take Aldebaran with them. |
