YOB - The Illusion of Motion


Artist: YOB
Album: The Illusion of Motion
Genre: Doom Metal / Sludge
Origin: USA
Year: 2004

Though I think The Unreal Never Lived is YOB's finest album, this is another wonderful release from the Oregon based doom metal / sludge band. YOB sadly broke up in 2006, but the guitarist/singer started a new band named Middian (unless the bullshit lawsuit by Midian forces a name change), which is supposedly much more rock oriented. The music on this album is crushingly heavy and is made up of 4 very long songs, but it doesn't really ever get bogged down in mundaneness or repetition, the flaw of many similarly styled bands. The growls and the clean-ish vocals complement each-other nicely.

UPDATE: yAy! YOB is back! party time!
