From Our Raw Heart (2018). Our Raw Heart is the eighth studio album by American doom metal band YOB. It was released June 8, 2018, by Relapse Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Sunn Model T, the rig we use for Yob's other songs from Our Raw Heart, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the neck pickup. Published transcriptions put it in a tuning that is not one of the standard names: A D G C E A, low to high.
