[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"YOB is exceedingly happy to announce our new relationship with Metal Blade Records. We (like any metalhead/hardcore punks fans) were practically introduced to The HEAVY and EXTREME by Metal Blade Records in the 80's. The early records by Slayer, Voivod, DRI, Hirax, Candlemass, Cirith Ungol, Trouble, Fates Warning, Sodom, Cryptic Slaughter, and Corrosion Of Conformity permanently changed our lives. Those recordings and Metal Blade helped pave the way for bands like us to even exist. To become part of that history as YOB is incredibly satisfying." - YOB[/font]

Just when I thought Metal Blade had practically turned all it's interests to mallcore...I must say, this is an odd signing for them in this day and age. I wonder if they've got some new management? What next? They sign a heavy metal act?
 
Yob kicks ass. I want to spend some time with the promo before reviewing it though.
