  • Revolver's "No Distortion" series invites heavy music artists to ditch their amps, pare down their songs, and showcase their intimate side. In this episode, Mike Scheidt, singer, guitarist and principal songwriter for sludge-doom act YOB, welcomes us onto his father's tree farm just outside of Eugene, Oregon, where he delivers a stripped-down, transcendent reinterpretation of their epic song "Marrow," from 2014's album 'Clearing the Path to Ascend.'

    I've known this guy for about 20 years and he has been nothing but chill, supportive, inspiring and kind in the metal/punk scene. He had some health problems knock him down, then rose like a fucking phoenix. Never stop, Mike.

      This is not true, each bite from the demonic sandwich sends you to an evil dimension which does not cease until the entire sandwich is consumed. At which point the victim is trapped forever. Last time, the victim was only saved because he removed the tomatoes before eating the rest, causing him to be inadvertently spared from certain doom!

    "Restless souls
    Flickering light
    Painted in gold
    Tearing at the seams
    Needing to feel
    One true moment
    Needing to feel
    Something true"
    After hearing this I finally cried. It have been months and something was bottling up inside of me. Then it just burst out in form of tears. It felt like I've been sick this entire time and this song, this moment in particular, took it out of my chest.

      I thought the second part of your comment, as in the part that's not lyrics to the song...were lyrics to the song. Sweet, I've always loved that long YOB song but what are the words to it anyways? Would be nice not to mumble, hum or make em up as I always have, & how convenient here they are written before me, didn't even have to google it - I could have just as easily not given a second look and from then on always sing along to it with your comment hahaha.

      The first time I heard this song, I was working out in a lawn, during a clear blue sky summer day. It was gorgeous outside, and that part just hit me so hard in the feels that I stopped my machine and openly wept. Honestly couldn't explain why, but I did, and it was amazing to experience that

    Mike if you read this...I love this song so much. You take the genre you are "known for" or probably more accurately put into, to a new level. You NEVER abandon "The Song" for The Tone" but instead wrest "The Tone" to serve your vision. And true vision you have. You honor your era, and music as awhole, with your contributions, and I am grateful to the universe for you still being with us after your health trials.
    You practicing your art makes lives better.

    :40 ...in surfing, there is a term when you could see the sun through the other side of the barrel, called "eye of the beholder". At :40 , you see the sun through his elbow and guitar. A phrase should be coined whenever that happens. Maybe "eye of the soul" when a meaningful tune is being played and the sun happens to shine between your instrument and your body
