Description

Double album on gold metallic vinyls with gatefold cover. Limited 2500 copies

The long-running Oregon doom metal trio delivers a sensuous, aggressive, and jubilant album inspired by singer-guitarist Mike Scheidt’s recent brush with death. Mike Scheidt, the vocalist and guitar player was hospitalized with diverticulitis early 2017 and it was an experience—which nearly killed him—that left Scheidt so changed that he wasn’t sure, at first, if the band would continue. So Our Raw Heart was born out of Scheidt’s health scare—and, given the circumstances, the fact that it even sounds like a Yob record is a triumph. 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.
