    YOB, the Oregon-based trio will release “Our Raw Heart”, the band’s eighth full-length album and Relapse Records’ debut, on June 8th.


    “We’re very excited to share this new music”, says singer and guitar player Mike Scheidt. “We gave it everything we have. Going from an uncertain future in the beginning of 2017, to writing and then recording a new album at the end of it, it was quite a year. We’re very grateful. We’re looking forward to hitting the road again and celebrating decibels and good cheer with friends worldwide. Can’t wait.”


    “Our Raw Heart” was co-produced by the band and Billy Barnett at Gung Ho Studio in Eugene, Ore., with mastering handled by Heba Kadry (The Mars Volta, Diamanda Galas, Slowdive).


    Pre-Orders for Our Raw Heart will be available April 10 via Relapse.com.



    YOB’s most recent release, “Clearing the Path to Ascend”, was one of 2014’s most heralded releases, with Rolling Stone saying the music “makes perfect bedfellows of volume and beauty, pain and transcendence”.


    YOB recently reissued their fifth full-length album, “The Great Cessation”, in December via Relapse. That album can be streamed via all digital retail outlets HERE and ordered via Relapse.com HERE.

  • CHRCH to release "Light Will Consume Us All" on April 27th via Neurot Recordings – on tour in March and with Fister in May! #announcement #tourdates #doommetalfront




    Standing at a crossroads of light and dark, Chrch create epic songs of great depth, layering intricate melodies, thunderous rhythms, gargantuan riffs, and a powerful, supernatural vocal presence. There is no image or gimmick to uphold, only the humble glorification of their fundamental musical elements. Chrch perform with a striking purity and honesty, their long-form songs build and deconstruct as the band reach sonic highs, and at times, beautiful plateaus. 


    Their second full length, Light Will Consume Us All, carries with it the same quality of songwriting that caught the attention of fans worldwide on their debut, Unanswered Hymns (Battleground Records, 2015). Building upon this foundation, Light Will Consume Us All also continues Chrch’s narrative, traversing life’s journey of loss, reclamation and, ultimately, finding hope within the darkness. 

    Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Patrick Hills (King Woman, Bog Oak, VRTRA) at Earthtone Studios in Rocklin, California, the album exudes a warm, organic tone, with a sound influenced by traditional doom, psych rock, drone, and ambient music. Chrch summon the listener to inhabit their sonic space, allowing enough room for its transmutation into anything one desires of it.

    08/03/2018 Cooper’s Ale Works – Nevada City, CA w/ Khemmis,
