Elaborations of Carbon (Reissue)

by YOB

supported by

Erasmus Windage I hadn't heard this before this re-release. What a magnificent LP! Yob is the only band where I can honestly say I like each of their LPs equally. And this one is more equal than the others! Favorite track: Clear Seeing (2023 Remaster).

The Midnight Toker. Vinyl Purchased 5/18/23.

MyDogLikesRock The one thing I love in this group is the absolute dedication. I don't have favorite, just listen to the album ;)

Jack Pfiester Why the hell did I put off listening to this?

pitt109 How has this stayed buried for 21 years? This album hails back to the forefathers of doom with crushing and bluesy licks. Mike's singing is more oZZy than Geoff Tate. Going to be my daily driver for a while. Favorite track: Asleep In Samsara (2023 Remaster).

about

Epic, crushing, and heavy beyond words, YOB has achieved legendary status over the last two decades with their unmatched aesthetic and incredible body of work. Now Elaborations of Carbon, the debut full length that set the stage for the bands singular, organic universe of transcendent doom, is being presented for the first time on vinyl as well as being made widely available for the first time across streaming services.

The enormous volume and pensive, ethereal beauty that Yob would become synonymous with make themselves known across the 6 riveting tracks on Elaborations of Carbon. The album's lineup features Yob founder and heart Mike Scheidt (vocals and guitars), Lowell Iles (bass), and Gabe Morley (drums) and was recorded and mixed by Jeff Olsen (who would go on to become a long time collaborator of Yob’s) at Dogwood Recordings in Elmira, OR.

After its initial release in May 2002 on 12th Records, the CD would see a small repress in 2013 and the album has been unavailable since. Billy Barnett was called upon to make the archival transfer for the 2023 reissue which was mastered by Matt Colton at Metropolis Music and features completely re-envisioned artwork by Orion Landau.

this song is an hour and a half of tension and atmosphere. the fact that a part of it is dedicated to a late band member makes it even sadder. if you have that long to listen to an album I would highly recommend it katsumashi
