In the last six months, Mike Scheidt has had to quit his day job, twice: the first time was when his doom metal trio YOB toured the US and Europe and the second time was when TOOL invited YOB to tour the US. Yet with all of this interest and attention, Scheidt still had enough creative energy to record a very personal, solo, acoustic album for release this summer on Thrill Jockey. To those familiar with YOB's front man, the sincerity, raw emotion, and Eastern philosophy that have found their way onto Stay Awake will be no surprise. The music is meant to be intense, spacious and passionate while still being somewhat straight-forward and familiar. Scheidt is playing with Satyress, a heavy metal Portland band, fronted by the fervent Jamie LaRose. The ‘Joan Jett of Doom Metal’ LaRose is backed by guitarist Billy Glenn, Alex Fast on bass, and Yorck Franken on drums. – Sean S.
