The Great Cessation

by YOB

The Great Cessation cover art

Marking Mike Scheidt's glorious, heavy return to the YOB moniker after a brief period of disbandment, this album delivers some of the most monolithic, crushing riffs of his career. The five extended tracks oscillate between suffocating, agonizingly slow doom metal and massive, groove-heavy sludge explosions. It successfully resurrected one of the most vital, spiritually resonant bands in modern American heavy metal.
