YOB: New Album Now Playing In Full At Pitchfork

Upper Darby, PA. (Top40 Charts/ Relapse Records) As commanding as it is cathartic, Clearing The Path To Ascend, the long-anticipated new full-length from Portland doom technicians YOB demands the tandem attention of mind, body, and soul. Recorded at Gung Ho Studio in Eugene alongside longtime collaborator/iconic sound-sage Billy Barnett, and mastered by Brad Boatright (Sleep, Beastmilk, Nails) at Audiosiege Engineering, Clearing The Path To Ascend is a genuinely visceral listening experience.

In celebration of its imminent release, now just one week away, Pitchfork is offering up Clearing The Path To Ascend in its bone-crushing, soul-cradling entirety via their Advance Series at THIS LOCATION.

In conjunction with the release, YOB will spread their purifying riff rituals overseas this Fall on an epic binge of performances slated to commence on September 3rd, 2014 in Utrecht, the Netherlands. The band will be joined by Little Rock's Pallbearer.

Clearing The Path To Ascend on 2XLP is now available for pre-ordering via Relapse Records HERE.
