YOB - Marrow (Clearing the Path to Ascend 2014 | HQ) 

I found Yob and this specific album at an incredibly hard time in my life. I'd ruined myself with too much work combined with too much alcohol and pretty much ruined all my relationships around me. My brother and I nicknamed eachother Bone and Marrow (only in Norwegian, Bein and Marg). I got it tattooed on my fingers, he got it on the side of his palms. We were sitting in my apartment, me being ruined physically and mentally, he with his problems conserning drugs and depression. He had recently introduced me to Sleep, and while shuffling songs this came on. I laughed first at the title being the very name he'd given me, but we listened in silence as we used to. And I had a revelation, I clearly saw myself from outside of my own body, I saw the damage, the hate, the anger at the world and everyone who failed me and me being a failure and I was tired. I decided to wipe it away, to release all the tension deep within my marrow. And I cried, for the first time in years, I cried for hours, me and my brother. Bone and Marrow. When he died 4 years later, this kept me going. I remembered that day when I finally opened my eyes, and yet again decided to let it all go. My anger towards him for leaving me behind and choosing a road I could never follow, my hate of the people who didn't help him, me being a failure for not seeing his pain. Brother, if you're out there somewhere, I hope you're listening to this as well I love you. I fucking miss you.

I went camping with some friends last year, was just the three of us, we did mushrooms and the three of us listened to yob for hours. This song came on and really stuck with me. that night was one of the best nights I’ve ever had. Words can’t describe the experience

Genre: Masterpiece

Very rarely do masterpieces like this come about. You can hear emotion poured over every note. Best kind of music

This is one of the most lucid, beautiful enticing pieces of music ever to grace my ears. Forever playing in the back of my mind making life worth-while

My entire life is in this song. Everything that I desire, everything that I feel, everything that I have.

This song is like a timeline of my past depression and i think in some way it saved me. It has utter darkness, despair, tragedy and sorrow and in the end all that is left is light, the brighest and warmest ive come across in a long time. YOB IS LOVE is 100% true...

This is the song I've wanted to hear my whole life.

These guys have a talent that will never be appreciated to the level that it deserves to be. This is such a beautiful, mind opening/crushing song. How they do beautiful and crushing at the same time, I don't know. but this is now my favourite album/song. thank you YOB for sharing this amazing music for people to experience.

This is like a doom Freebird. Instant classic.

Someone very close to me died yesterday. This is the very first song I felt like listening while holding my head in my hands.

I'm on my balcony, the rain is strong as ever,thunder speaking with the language of the maker,stoned as fuck. perfect. hats off to YOB.

Just saw them live in Prague yesterday. Ball of Molten Lead, Exorcism of the Host, Clearing the Path to Ascend complete album and Adrift in the Ocean as a closer. Brilliant.

I remember the day Mike picked me up to go get coffee and just before he dropped me off he played me the rough mixes from this album and he described this song as yob emulating Kansas I still chuckle through the rears of sorrow and joy when I hear it. Yob is love.

I listen to this song all day long, and when I'm not listening it, it's playing in my head.

I have a spiritual experience every time I listen to Yob. My god, this tune is sending a profound warmth through me. Yob Is Love!

BOB LOVES YOB

This is probably the most beautiful masterpiece i've ever heard.

First heard this song 3 days ago. With it on repeat, that makes this the 227th time I've listened to this song.

Very Underrated Song And Band. The Most Beautiful And Emotional Song All Time

probably the best song YOB has recorded yet, just incredibly moving

what an album ..... album of the year ..

This song helped me through my son almost dying. Thanks YOB. I cant wait to see you soon.

Saw them play this last night. Pallbearer opened for them. Amazing gig.

Saw them yesterday in Paris and they finished their show with this song. Oh boy, it was unreal... Pallbearer was amazing too.

This is one of many doom metal songs Ive gotten many non-metal fans into metal with. Others include: “Our Raw Heart” - YOB (obvi) All of Heartless by Pallbearer “Misery Hymns” - Churchburn “Love You To Death” - Type O Negative “Mirror Reaper” Bell Witch “Boden” - Amenra (more post-rock, but doomy enough to count) What are yours?

man, this song. Every time is...something new in me.

Shivers down my spine every time I hear this song, most beautiful song ever... period.

first time listening , holy shit i'm an instant fan, gonna go buy the cd to support this amazing album

Dam they came with it on this song. One of the best and moving heavy songs ive ever heard

My soul can now rest.. just wow this is just beauty.

This gets played every day. A glorious and masterly piece of art.

Crazy how a song that is almost 20 mins feels like 7 mins. It's just so immersive that you don't want it to end. At the same time emotionally the song feels like it spans an entire lifetime. For me this is one of the greatest recordings of the 21st century so far.

This song makes me feel like my soul is taking a shower. All negative things in life melt away and I'm left with nothing but feeling like a ball of light.

This is such a great song. I'm in my 40's now, but I was a huge metal head in my teens. My taste never got any heavier than Slayer though and it's tough to find a modern metal band that I can get into. This is awesome

These guys consistently put on an amazing show, really emotionally driven live and extremely heavy. Loudest and most emotional and heartfelt shows I've ever seen were by these guys. Atma and Clearing the Path to Ascend they've really come to perfecting their sound.

A very atmospheric song. It feels like you're a million miles away and completely content.

orgasmic,for me the best song of the album

Impossible to explain the total and utter crushing feel of those harmonies. Absolutely stunning.

This is such a beautyfull heavy masterpiece. What a song! What a feeling! What a message!

New to yob..........wow.the band I’ve always wanted in my life.

one of the best songs i've ever heard in my life

If i had to listen to one more song before i die, it would be this.

The single most beautiful song of 2014. Still moves me to this day.

wow goosebumps everywhere. this is so beautiful

this song got me into Yob. i love these guys for what they do, they saved my life not even once. #YobIsLove

I can never stop coming back. It's been over a year now and I just can never forget this. They were channeling something higher when they recorded this...

This song changed my perspective of music and metal in general...glad to have seen this guys live, such a unique experience.

Listened to this song hundreds of times, and still don't know the lyrics. They're superfluous actually, the music and the voice say it all...just how I feel.

This, for me is the song of the decade.

This is one of the most epicly hypnotic songs of all time. It gives my chills the chills, abd don't feel bad to shed some tears along your journey....

This is the greatest song I have heard in a long..long time. Wow.

i missed this concert because i could not leave my daughter alone more than 1 h while asleep (she was still small a 3 years ago) so i asked some friends to stay at my place i took my bike I went to the gig and I bought at least this vynil from the band after they played......and I had a 5 euro discount for this. great band great people. respect.

A musical representation of bitterness and nostalgia... Yob created another great album, and this song is the perfect closing for their cathartic mixture of heaviness and poignant melodies

10:30 is instant goosebumps for the rest of the song

Track of the year, just amazing, the tone is incredible.

i,m 66 and this is a heavty similar to 1971 when i was a freshman in college

This song evokes emotion and paints a picture in my mind. A true masterpiece. Great work!

Simply a beautiful and moving song and I can give it no better compliment.

The night this was performed for the first time ever. I was there to witness this historic event

Woot! Welcome back and thank you, one of my favorite bands of all time. Bought this the day it came out. What a great record. I am still delving into the depths of the other 3 but this song mesmerized me instantly. Such patience and control, unreal.

This is like a full gourmet course for your ears

Thank you to Steve Von Till for introducing me to this! AWESOME

Imagining this playing the night you discover a long abandon Gothic monastery buried deep into a hillside surrounded by a wild, twisted woodland. You seek cover inside, as the rain and wind howls. You are met with the beautiful sight of endless hallways and staircases leading to a massive vaulted library room. You huddle next to a majestic sized fireplace watching the fire crackle and hiss. Strange tree roots have enveloped the pillars and walls. The light exposes a series of Mosaics and wall paintings depicting the sacred burial rites of an ancient and mysterious cult who lived on the site of monastery. Lighting flashes and the thunder cracks in the sky above.

So powerful, I had to stop for a while before playing the next track because this one just took me away, thank you Yob for the journey I took with this masterpiece...

This is one of the best intros i’ve ever witnessed.

im crying....wtf..its so beautiful. to be hearing this.

one of the greatest songs ever written.. transcending

what i have been searching for these 50 years of my life. ive finally found 5% of that dream. still searching for the 95% to get to 100% maximum potential !!!!!!!!!

This song has me so hooked. Its that climactic build up. Really fitting vocals for the track as well excellence

The emotional depth of this track is absurd... i get dragged in by instant. This is fucking wonderful, man. Thanks to the guys from YOB.

All of you say this is a masterpiece and that it's beautiful and pure emotion in music...you probably haven't heard this MASTERPIECE peaking on two tabs of acid. THAT is a truly wholesome experience, maaaaaaan.

So humbling song, so deeply human, so deeply true, embracing the whole facets of existence, all the joy and tragedy of life, all the hopes and brokenheart, all the crave for love and our burdens, we are all f****ing alive and this masterpiece reminds it to us, long life to YOB !

Who says doom can't be beautiful? This shit is awesome.

Only two songs have ever made me cry in my life: Wings for Marie (part 2) by Tool, and this one

One of the best songs I've ever heard \m/

Not to disregard anyone’s comments.....I just don’t think it’s possible to come up with anything that can even come close to describing this kind of perfection.

No words can describe this song. Fucking beautiful.

This song, literally ten times listened to over about a month has already made me become ok with the passage of time. Thank you. I aspire to make something as transcendent of genre and/or timeless. Peace and good fortune to all reading and listening in this fucking age of doom!!!

Top ten modern metal bands and songs

These are really deep , powerful lyrics. Respect!

It truly sounds like if Pink Floyd would have played doom metal. This is psych-doom heaven.

Light inbetween noise & darkness. Atmospheric perfection!

Eugene Oregon loves ton! Hail from Eugene Oregon! Mike is a great guy... Drink some Oregon microbrew and listen to yob!

Heard this song on liquid metal station. Randy Blythe ended his program with this one. Have always been a fan of YOB, but hadn't yet heard this one.....IT IS AWESOME!

This is the most beautiful song ever made

Woooow. First time listener, this is great!

1st listen to Yob and am liking what I hear, so atmospheric you can get lost in it

song of the year

One of my favourite songs. Can’t wait to see Yob live tomorrow

This song is fucking perfect. I don't know if I have ever seen, heard or read something so perfect. It came out at a perfect time in my life and I am so grateful to you for writing it. I love this song and I love you guys

I want this song at my funeral

Absolutely badass! What a gem this is!

I covered this song two years ago while living in Bakersfield California and uploaded it on RU-vid. 890 view and 47 likes as of today. I hope to see YOB in Tampa at the Orpheum on 11/28 and try to thank him in person for letting me cover this great tune.

The Voice and the guitarsound is amazing.. i love yob

J'ai découvert ce groupe il y a 15 ans maintenant, il fait partie de mes indispensables personnels, au même titre que Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden ou Metallica. Ce groupe est vraiment talentueux et son sens de la "mélodie lourde" est imparable. Ce titre est d'une beauté absolue !

One the best songs I've heard in years!!!

this is so beautiful

excerpt of lyrics: Fall and see When there’s no ground To feel, To endure Rise, rise in your heart Time will crawl to the sea Time will fall inside the dream

I love this song so much now. Bought the album on wednesday. Only listening to the youtube because it's in the car, heh. Especially at the conclusion of the album when listened to straight through, this song is incredibly moving, emotionally, to me.
