The new YOB disk kicks out DOOM in a way only Mike Scheidt can unleash.....sweet "quietudes" followed by thunderous, slow, skull-splitting sonic pleasure!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 stars: Majestic blackened doom, July 25, 2009

It's radd to see the return of YOB after the horrible legal fiasco Mike's other band Middian got mixed up in. that said, The Great Cessation might be YOB's best record yet, and it's certainly the angriest. They don't break from their formula, though - glacial-paced, Godzilla-stomping doom with some Dio-esque vocals, maybe a little black metal influence vocally. It's the guitar playing and tone that's the hook here, though - Mike's sound is god-like, and you should get familiar if you're interested in the sonic possiblities of modern doom.

Brutal, sad, eerie, haunting took me from slow, fist in the air head banging with burning the altar, to the triumphant otherwordly vocal hooks on the Lie that is sin to the vocals on the great cessation practically moving me to tears. Yob is... unreal..
