YOB Splits

The long running Oregon doom metal band YOB has broken up. Vocalist/guitarist Mike Scheidt released this statement:

"This is Mike from YOB. I regret to say that YOB is disbanding after almost 10 years of existence. The time we spent with YOB exceeded our wildest expectations and hopes and it has truly been a dream come true. Travis Foster and Isamu Sato left the band in July, and I have been trying to decide what to do for the last six months. YOB has had 3 other line-ups, but this one was the best. At the end of the day the best thing for YOB is to call it a day. I want to thank everyone who has been supportive to YOB over the years....labels, bands, fans, the venues, our families....without you none of this would have been possible. I will be working on a new band called Age that will very much be in the vein of YOB, with some new twists. Until then, be well and stay heavy! Endless Doom!"
