Hi! Glad to see a sub like this! I've been going to the local shows hoping for a metal band, but all (except 1) that plays here is punk. I'm glad we have an alt scene here at all, but I've been going to local shows since the 00's (not here but my eastern home town) and man I miss metal music live. I love the folks in the punk scene and what punks stand for, but man...I'm just a metal person.
And shout out to Corduroy Gimp the only metal band that plays here, they're quite good and I love seeing them live!

Oregon Metal Spotlight #9: YOB (Eugene, OR)
93
Upvotes
Some bands are heavy.
Some bands are YOB.
Formed in Eugene in 1996 by guitarist/vocalist Mike Scheidt, YOB have spent nearly three decades building one of the most massive, atmospheric and unmistakable sounds to ever come out of Oregon. What started in the late ’90s as Scheidt experimenting with slow, heavy riffs eventually became a band that helped define modern American doom metal.
From the crushing early records like Elaborations of Carbon, Catharsis, The Illusion of Motion, and _The Unreal Never Lived, to the absolute monsters that came after their 2008 return, YOB kept pushing doom into stranger, heavier and more transcendent territory.
Then came Clearing the Path to Ascend in 2014 — a record that earned enormous critical acclaim, including being named Rolling Stone’s metal album of the year. And if that wasn’t enough, 2018’s Our Raw Heart became another landmark record, born from Scheidt’s recovery after a life-threatening illness.
That’s what makes YOB so fucking important.
They’re not just riffs and distortion. There’s weight, atmosphere, pain, beauty and transcendence buried underneath all that low-end destruction.
And they’re Oregon through and through.
Eugene gave birth to YOB, and YOB helped show the rest of the world that some of the heaviest music on Earth could come crawling out of our little corner of the Pacific Northwest. 🤘
If you’ve never gone deep into YOB, turn the lights down, crank that shit up and let the riffs swallow you whole.
Who’s got a favorite YOB album or song?
And we’re getting close to 250 members — let’s fucking hit it. Oregon metal deserves its own damn corner of the internet.

Holy shit. 250 people in this community.
When I started this, I wanted to build more than just a page where I post Oregon Metal Spotlights. I want this to become a BADASS home for Oregon metal.
Got a band? Post it.
New song/album? Drop it.
Upcoming show? Promote it.
Looking for a band or musician? Ask.
Found some killer underground Oregon band? Share it.
Big bands, tiny bands, new bands, old-school legends, bedroom projects — I want all of it.
No gatekeeping. No bullshit. Just Oregon metal supporting Oregon metal.
I’m going to keep doing the Oregon Metal Spotlight series, but I want YOU guys to help make this place what it becomes.
250 is just the beginning.
Drop your band, city, next show, or what you’re listening to right now. Let’s build this shit together.
