Eugene, OR, USA (1996 – 2006, 2008 – present)
YOB was brought into being by vocalist / guitarist Mike Scheidt during the mid 90s. Previous to founding YOB, Scheidt had operated as a drummer with Hardcore acts chemikill and Dirty Sanchez and held down bass duties in H.C. MINDS. The original incarnation of YOB featured Scheidt alongside bassist Lowell Iles and drummer Greg Ocon. However, by the time of recording the 2001 album Elaborations of Carbon, YOB comprised Scheidt, bassist Isamu Satu, previously with death metal act Thrombus and former Lightweight drummer Gabe Morley. Satu also operates H.C. Minds whilst Morley divides his time with Fingertrap.
Hailing from the ever-gray skies of Eugene, OR, USA comes YOB, a band already well on their way to make their mark in the doom metal scene worldwide. Formed in 1996 by founding member Mike Scheidt, YOB started creating and destroying ideas that would become the foundation for one of doom metal’s most shining hopefuls.
The first three song self-titled demo was submitted to Stonerrock.com in 1999, sending shockwaves into the stoner rock/doom scene worldwide. This demo was a bold statement of intent: uncompromising heavy doom metal. Within YOB’s sound, which is equal parts Sleep, Burning Witch, Neurosis, High On Fire and Electric Wizard, YOB has accomplished song craft that is as much their own sound as it is paying homage to the doom metal greats of both times of yore and present.
In 2001 YOB recorded its first full-length record for 12th Records in Spokane, Washington titled Elaborations of Carbon.

before listening to new album, I've read that Scott Kelly is singing on one of the tracks. During first listen I heard the song "Atma" and was like..uh, that's the one. then I've listened to the next one and im kind of confused. does Scott sing in two songs, or just Yob vocalist is hmm...similar in some moments?

Yup. I wasn't into The Sword to begin with, but they just looked like a bunch of prancing phonies following Yob. Then Kyuss made the audience wait for about forty minutes while they did blow backstage and strutted out like Wayne Newton crooning "woah-ohs." Yob couldn't have done a better job of overshadowing them.
