about

Originally released on CDR in 2000, with a limited vinyl release in 2009, we are happy to make the original Yob demo available digitally for the first time via Bandcamp.
It’s a trip to listen back to these songs, originally recorded in fall of 1999. For my part, I was 29, with 4 year old twins and a new baby. Time was tight, but I had these tunes, and I wanted to record them. I loved the doom and stoner rock of the time, and it shows. Yob’s music started to change and evolve almost immediately after this demo, but still, warts and all, recording the demo was really exciting. It was an end in itself, with no plans to make it an actual band. That changed pretty quickly after I decided to send it to Stonerrock.com to be reviewed. Things took on a life of their own from there. Fast forward to now, nearly 25 years later, and I hear these tunes as the fledgling, imperfect, but sincere love letters that they were. This was the beginning. Enjoy! - Mike

I've always been on the fence about Elder. The musicianship was always there but it never clicked. Omens and Innate Passage have certainly changed that. QNdNas7kQgBG5fi
