| Artist appears on YOB Great Cessation CD (2009)
Travis Foster discography
$11.45 Probably one of the greatest descriptions of the heaviness of doom metallists YOB comes in the press release for their 2009 release, GREAT CESSATION: "Heavier than the world's entire elephant population." Hailing from Eugene, OR (not exactly thought of as a doom metal mecca), YOB opted to call it a day in 2006, but two years later, the call of the recording studio had brought the lads back together, resulting in their fifth album overall (and first for the Profound Lore label). Expectedly, the songs are long, plodding, numbing, and oozing with riffage and screams -- take your pick of any of the album's five songs (which clock in at an hour total) to experience the doomsday charm of YOB.
Recording information: Dogwood Recordings, Elmira, Oregon (03/2009-04/2009).
Personnel: Mike Schedit, Mike S (vocals, guitar); Sanford Parker (synthesizer); Aaron Rieseberg (bass instrument); Travis Foster,
