Yob

Ok...I haven't really spent a great deal of time listening to Yob. I saw them once a few years ago at The Subterranean, but I really came to see Dark Castle. This time my main reason for attending was to see Black Cobra whom I like both as a band and as people from talking over the years w/Jason, the guitar player. Of course, they put on a great opening set. Acid King followed and I only knew them by reputation. They were truly fantastic; I am sorry I have missed them all these years. The audience (of which I was a part, LOL) was greatly appreciative and we stomped until they came out for an encore. Yob came on last and I enjoyed them greatly. I will take some time to explore their work and become more familiar w/them. Just in case someone does not know...Reggies is a great, great venue for metal shows in Chicago. The place and staff are welcoming and the people who come for the shows are coming for the music, so it's a great experience all around.

Well funny I got an email asking how the Yob show was. I flew from Dutch Harbor, Alaska and didn't get to see it cuz the venue is garbage! I tried to get tickets online and they didnt have any and had to get them at the place. Had a friend call them and they said they couldn't put them on hold so he went down to buy them and they said they were on hold! So they obviously cater to their own friends. They said get them at the door. We went there and they allowed there to be a huge line for tickets (obviously so the people waiting buy drinks with false hopes of getting in) and then when the doors open they only let 4 people in! Mississippi Studios, you are garbage. I hope your establishment burns to the ground. Thanks for nothing.

I had huge expectations to this gig at Betong and they certainly fulfilled those. It was the final show of Hoestsabbat doom festival and what a grand final! They played all 4 songs from their latest album Clearing The Path to Ascend + a couple of extras. The show lasted 1 h 40 min. The final encore was Kosmos. Words are hard to find trying to describe this performance. It was just awesome! I felt so happy and had goosebumps all over me.

These guys are absolutely the best live band you will ever see. If you're in doubt about seeing them at all. Go. I saw them in Pittsburgh with Bell Witch. Both bands were surprisingly good but YOB moved me to tears that night and immediately became my favorite band, just a beautiful time that I'll never forget

Heavy as hell, great ensemble bringing fat riffs and deep breakdowns. Great energy and connection between the trio. Amazing vocals, songs that are a long satisfying trip. Now I respect them even more after the priviledge of watching them live. One of the greatest in this doom/stoner community!!!

Yob always puts on killer shows; they're always heavy as fuck. Yes they're doom metal, but in a mesmerizingly unique yet cohesive way, they're also partly energetic. Mike is the man. Their bass tone is amazing. And their drums will make your soul vibrate.

What a great show, missed Chrch but caught Acid King which was a headbangers delight. YOB was great opened with some of their new material but mixed it up with some of their older work. Great show.
