Our raw heart

"To characterize Our Raw Heart as consistent is not to damn the record with faint praise as Yob's music is as powerful and beautiful as ever".

"Efter at have været døden nær vender Mike Scheidt og Yob tilbage med 'Our Raw Heart'; et doomalbum mærket af store følelser og eksistentiel refleksion ... 'Our Raw Heart' falder ikke helt på halen, men Yobs bjergbestigning er en halv succes, for man savner, at bandet går mere efter struben og finder de fede riffs frem for at læne sig mod de post-rockede teksturer. Albummet bliver for langtrukkent hen over midten, og man savner en strammere struktur. Men fokuserer man på musikken i kortere strøg, er der stadig en del at komme efter".

"Mike Scheidt, the vocalist and guitar player for Oregon doom metal trio YOB, was hospitalized with diverticulitis early last year ... While 2011's Atma was all aggression and 2014's Clearing the Path to Ascend delved into their psychedelic side, Heart unites those two sounds in service of a new theme. The band has spun joy out of its frontman's gnarliest experience, making metal that sounds sensuous, bellicose, and jubilant at once".
