Long-running Oregon doom metal conjurors and recent Neurot signees, Yob, will released their new full-length, the aptly titled Clearing The Path To Ascend, via Neurot Recordings this fall. Recorded at Gung Ho Studio in Eugene, notorious for its reserve of vintage equipment, alongside longtime collaborator/iconic sound-sage Billy Barnett, and mastered by Brad Boatright (Sleep, Beastmilk, Nails) at Audiosiege Engineering, Clearing The Path To Ascend is undoubtedly the crowning achievement for a band whose journey now nears two decades of creating music as commanding as it is cathartic. Clearing The Path To Ascend is set for release on September 2nd and CD and t-shirt preorder bundles are available atthis location.

Clearing The Path To Ascend tracklisting:
"In Our Blood"
"Nothing To Win"
"Unmask The Spectre"
"Marrow"
