Yob @ The Bell House, Brooklyn NY (Nov 5, 2015) Photos by Thunderbird Ranch Ramble

Two people in a period of one week told me that Yob is the best Doom Metal band in the world.


I didn’t even know what Doom Metal was, but was excited to see the Oregon-grown Yob play at the uber cool The Bell House in Gowanus section of Brooklyn.


Although I listened to their music on YouTube, I was not prepared for the real thing.


Opening band number one played at 9.  Two guys, drums and guitar.  Both playing like maniacs.  I didn’t understand one word the guitar player sang, but it was not important.  I was in the eye of a Doom Metal tornado and holding on tight.


Opening band number two played at 10. Two guys, drums and guitar.  A little more mojo than the first, but similar Doom Metal styles.  The crowd was working into a lather while the boys from Yob circled the lobby bar area.

Interesting enough I met two fellow Nyackers (not a common occurrence when in Brooklyn), one was dating Yob’s guitar layer.  He was such a nice unassuming lad, with mad skills on the guitar.  So glad to chat with him. He was quite floored when I told him two (yes two unrelated friends) told me Yob is the best Doom Metal Band on the planet.
