About this Event

LPR Presents and Pioneer Works invite you to an evening of immersive metal and rock transcendence in the Pioneer Works Main Hall with a rare stateside appearance by doom metal titans YOB.

Celebrating 25 years of genre-defying sonic ritual, YOB bring their singular blend of meditative heaviness and cathartic release to Brooklyn for one night only, alongside the Virginia-formed doom metal band Windhand. Revered for their deeply communal live performances, YOB turns every set into a shared act of transformation


About the artist

"Slow is fast," says Mike Scheidt, guitarist and vocalist of Oregon doom metal trio YOB—a band whose immersive, slow-burning sound has evolved over 25 years into something truly transcendent. With bassist Aaron Rieseberg and drummer Dave French, YOB crafts massive, meditative compositions that explore the edges of human experience, blending pulverizing sludge with moments of luminous clarity.

Formed in the late ’90s, YOB emerged from the stoner doom lineage of Sleep and Black Sabbath, but quickly developed a signature style—pendulous riffs, skyward vocals, and deeply introspective lyrics influenced by Scheidt’s Buddhist and Advaita Vedanta spiritual practices. Their albums, from Elaborations of Carbon (2002) to Our Raw Heart (2018), reflect a steady deepening in both sound and self-inquiry.

After a hiatus in the mid-2000s, YOB returned with renewed intensity, building a devoted following through relentless touring and acclaimed records like Atma and Clearing the Path to Ascend (Rolling Stone’s 2014 Metal Album of the Year). Their live shows are legendary for their emotional weight and sonic gravity—spaces of collective release where, as Scheidt puts it, “the crowd and the band are not two things.”

YOB continues to evolve, with compositions that stretch across time and feeling, forged by a trio of musicians attuned to each other’s deepest intuitions. Their music doesn’t offer easy answers—but in its searching, it opens a space for presence, healing, and transformation. As Scheidt says, “Our music is medicine for us. If it’s that for anyone else, it’s an immense honor.”
