acclaim, particularly from Rolling Stone. In early 2017, Scheidt suffered a serious health scare, which inspired the next YOB album. Our Raw Heart was released by Relapse Records in June 2018. Musical style and influences Scheidt cites a varied range of artists as inspiration for Yob's sound, including Neurosis, Tool, Immolation, Saint Vitus, Cathedral, Soundgarden, Deep Purple, The Obsessed, Candlemass, Judas Priest, Pentagram, Trouble, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, King Crimson, and Pink Floyd. His vocal style is inspired by Lee Dorrian's work in Cathedral and the lower pitched vocals of Solstice.
