*** This is a new and unplayed item, direct from the CRUCIAL BLAST shop. ***

DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
  Back in print on 180 gram black vinyl from Southern Lord, packaged in a deluxe heavyweight case-wrapped gatefold jacket with a combination of spot varnish and foil stamp printing. This vinyl version of Yob's Cessation also includes two additional bonus tracks not included on the original CD version, "Blessed By Nothing" and "Pain Like Sugar". Here's my old review of the original Profound Lore release:
  Three years after they announced their dissolution, Yob have returned and brought with them their darkest, most malevolent sounding album yet. I'm guessing that this darker tone is the result of all of the bullshit that this Oregon trio has had to contend with, from the breakup of the original Yob lineup in 2006 that seemed to come from out of nowhere, to the tribulations that bandleader Mike Scheidt went through with his new band Middian which led to a trademark dispute over the band name after their debut album came out and ultimately being dropped from their label, Metal Blade. After all of this turmoil, Scheidt somehow found the will to resurrect Yob and reconnected with his old drummer Travis Foster and new bassist Aaron Reiseberg, who replaces former Yob bassist Isamu Sato; now signed to avant-metal powerhouse Profound Lore, Yob recorded The Great Cessation, a monstrous black-hole of cosmic heaviosity that both continues to push past the edges of doom metal into forward-thinking new territory, and finds a furious anger seething beneath the swirling obsidian mass of Yob's new music.
   And so this picks up where 2005's The Unreal Never Lived left off, five songs that fill up an hour, with the title track sprawling out for twenty unholy minutes. The massive, evil Sabbathian riffage has taken on a darker, more sinister stain, the vibe more negatory with ominous sounding song titles like "Burning The Altar" and "Silence Of Heaven", and the psychedelic leads and cosmic FX of the other Yob albums now feel like threatening black clouds building over the epic riffage. There's some of that Isis-esque atmospheric weight here too that appeared on the earlier albums, but it's down-tuned to all new lows, and infused with weird slow-motion thrash riffs, swells of black melodic grandeur, massive chunks of crushing boogie, thunderous tribal drumming, towering drones, passages of atonal post-rock guitar, dreamy acoustic sections. There's mechanical, Godflesh-like rhythmic crush and guitar dissonance running through "Breathing From The Shallows", dark Middle Eastern-tinged guitar leads in "Burning The Altar", and "“Silence Of Heaven” " delves into a vast expanse of churning abstract droneological sound that borders on Sunn O))) territory. Sanford Parker (Minsk), who also produced the album, even contributes synths on the title track. And that voice of Scheidt's has never sounded more fearsome, his bizarre trademark Geddy Lee/witch vocals made even more creepy through electronic processing and alternated with unbelievably deep death metal growls. So fucking great...this might end up being the finest doom metal album of 2009. Highly recommended.   © CRUCIAL BLAST
