Vocalist / guitarist Mike Sheidt is a case in point. His band, YOB, is a crushing, heavy and unique doom outfit from Portland, Oregon. And, not only is Mike completely devoted to the music he creates, but he is a huge supporter of the music scene as well. Without such drive and enthusiasm, doom would be. . . doomed. Mike has a lot to say, so the Metal Update got the low down on the down low. recent features: DevilDriver http://www.metalupdate.com/interviewdevil.html Centinex http://www.metalupdate.com/interviewcentinex.html Watchmaker http://www.metalupdate.com/interviewwatch.html -- REVIEWS -- - METAL JUDGMENT - http://www.metaljudgment.com Fear Factory 'Archetype' (Abyss, Death, Hel) http://www.metaljudgment.com/albums/fearfactorya_frames.html Vehemence 'Helping The World To See' (Abyss, Death, Hel, Sabbath) http://www.metaljudgment.com/albums/vehemenceh_frames.html Goatwhore 'Funeral Dirge For A Rotting Sun' (Metal Militia) http://www.metaljudgment.com/summary/goatwhorefd_frames.html Widow 'Midnight Strikes' (Dguy) http://www.metaljudgment.com/summary/widow_frames.html Circle II Circle 'Watching In Silence' (Zilla) http://www.metaljudgment.com/summary/c2c_frames.html Asterius 'A Moment Of Singularity' (Redwolff) http://www.metaljudgment.com/summary/asterius_frames.html Life of Agony 'River Runs Again: Live 2003' (Requiem) http://www.metaljudgment.com/summary/loarralo3_frames.html Metal Devastation - Festival (Sabbath) http://www.metaljudgment.com/summary/metaldev_frames.html Six Feet Under, The Red Chord, On Broken Wings - Concert (Death, Hel) http://www.metaljudgment.com/summary/sfutrcobw_frames.html Anthrax At The Whisky - Concert (Death, Hel) http://www.metaljudgment.com/summary/anthraxwh_frames.html Nevermore "I, Voyager" - Video Shoot (Death, Hel) http://www.metaljudgment.com/summary/neverivvid_frames.html Samhain 'Novemeber-Coming-Fire' - Classic (Slither) http://www.metaljudgment.com/classics/samhain_frames.html Vengince - Demo (Slither) http://www.metaljudgment.com/demos/vengince_frames.html Scenteria - Demo (Equinox) http://www.metaljudgment.com/demos/scenteria_frames.html Balthazor - Demo (Behemoth) http://www.metaljudgment.com/demos/balthazor_frames.html -- NEW RELEASES -- 4/04 - Infliction - Denouncing The Flesh 4/05 - Disillusion - Back To Times Of Splendor 4/05 - Skyming - Machine Genova 4/05 - Reign Of Erebus - Inversion Principle 4/05 - Theatres Des Vampires - Blackend Collection (4 albums) 4/05 - Insomnium - Since The Day It All Came Down 4/05 - Khold - Morke Gravers Kammer 4/05 - Sceptic - Unbeliver's Script 4/05 - Cruachan - Pagan 4/06 - Vehemence - Helping The World To See 4/06 - Nocturnal Rites - New World Messiah 4/06 - Total Devastation - Road Map Of Pain 4/06 - Hearse - Armageddon Mon Amour 4/06 - Lunaris - Cyclic 4/06 - Infernal Majesty - One Who Points to Death 4/06 - W.A.S.P. - The Neon God: Part One - The Rise 4/06 - Zeke - 'Til the Livin' End 4/06 - Dead Poetic - New Medicines 4/06 - Pro-Pain - Fistful Of Hate 4/06 - Edguy - Hellfire Club 4/06 - Proto Kaw - Before Became After 4/06 - In Flames - Soundtrack To Your Escape 4/06 - Anthrax - Music Of Mass Destruction (DVD) 4/07 - Arkham - Chapter III: The Madness From The Sea 4/08 - Phantom Limb - Veins Of Unholy Capacity 4/08 - Rite - The Creep Had It Coming - Part 1 4/12 - Mindgrinder - MindTech 4/12 - Thou Shalt Suffer - Into The Woods Of Belial 4/13 - Satyricon - Volcano 4/13 - Joe Satriani - Is There Love In Space?
