YOB is a pioneering doom metal band that debuted in Eugene, Oregon, in 1996. They are noted for their long, complex songs. Mike Scheidt, Isamu Sato, and Travis Foster produced a sound that has had an impact on doom metal all around the world. They did this by combining slow tempos, massive riffs, and atmospheric voices. Albums like Elaborations of Carbon and Catharsis from the early days became popular in the underground scene and helped develop a fan base for heavy, meditative, and complex music.

The band has released more than ten full-length albums, including Our Raw Heart and Clearing the Path to Ascend. Critics have praised these CDs and they have been booked to play at festivals all around the world. YOB has played at big metal festivals like Roadburn and Hellfest, where fans from Europe, North America, and Asia have gone to see them. They have always been on "Top Doom Metal" lists, and partnering with record labels like Profound Lore and Relapse Records has helped them reach more people.

YOB events last more than 90 minutes and contain extended songs, rich soundscapes, and a lot of interaction with the audience. The strong chords, rapid percussion, and atmospheric effects all work together to create a very deep sound. Fans can buy tickets to witness YOB events on Yadara. At every show, the music is a mix of technical mastery and emotional intensity.
