YOB

YOB and Dark Castle played Le Poisson Rouge last night (7/12) with help from local doom faves Batillus. The show, part of a larger tour for YOB/DC, featured Dark Castle skinsman Rob Shaffer behind the kit for the final two band’s sets. Dark Castle’s set focused primarily on newer material like “Seeing Through Time” from their current LP Surrender To All Life Beyond Form, but also closed with faves from their breakthrough Spirited Migration like “Awake in Sleep” and “Into The Past”. YOB’s set, which was a bit too bass-heavy in the mix for my liking (and yes I know their sound has tons of low-end), covered favorites like “Burning The Altar” and “Grasping Air” (with guest vocals from DC’s Stevie Floyd”) as well as new burners like “Prepare The Ground” and the title track to the new LP, ATMA.
