YOB have unveiled a fully remixed and remastered version of Atma. Atma (Deluxe Version) sees Billy Barnett make the album volume-wide and monolithic in detail and space while keeping all of Jeff Olsen’s original amazing raw-punch production.
Two years after leveling the expectations of critics and listeners alike with Atma, doom trio powerhouse YOB unleashes Clearing The Path To Ascend, an aptly titled album for what will undoubtedly be the crowning achievement for a band whose journey now nears two decades of creating music as commanding as it is cathartic. As is…
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.

Yoshiko Sai’s second album, ‘Mikkou’ (lit. Stowaway), is a journey to a foreign world – a fictional Silk Road existing only within Sai’s imagination.

Young Governor, Young Guv, or just Guv – was holed up in the New Mexico high desert, his U.S. tour having been abruptly covid-cancelled during a southwest swing.

LP pressing in gatefold jacket. 2020 release, Yung Lean s seventh full-length following 2018 s Poison Ivy. Starz includes previously released singles Boylife in EU, Violence, and Pikachu. Much like Lean s overall catalog, the album feels almost impossibly cohesive. In part, that s thanks to production entirely from longtime collaborator whitearmor – they kept…
