  • Mike Scheidt: The Hellbound Interview

    Mike Scheidt has been busy over the last couple of years, having seen the release of his first solo album, the first VHOL record, and the Lumbar record. He also found time to guest on the last Red Fang album. This year sees his main band, Yob, put out a stellar new record, Clearing the…

  • Full Metal Parenting #6: Mike Scheidt Interview

    When Craig had the crazy idea that we start a column about heavy metal parenting and that we include interviews with “heavy metal parents,” my first thought was of Mike Scheidt. As the leader of YOB (and member of Lumbar and VHOL) he has been a musical inspiration to myself and many others. I wondered…

  • Way to kill the buzz for your acoustic tour, Wino!

    I first heard about Wino doing an August acoustic tour at least a couple months ago; twas announced well in advance.  Turns out this tour, which kicks off tonite in Seaside, CA, hits Cleveland on a Saturday nite, and even has a Buffalo date(!), albeit he won’t be crossing the border.  I haven’t been the…

  • Vhol – Deeper Than Sky

    So it’s probably no secret that we are fans of Mike Scheidt here at Hellbound.  Searching for what we had to say about the speed demons of VHOL here in the past, I stumbled upon two interviews and several features on a little project of his called Yob.  When careening your way through the little…

  • Yob – Our Raw Heart

    You could call Yob’s eighth studio album a labour of love. Certainly, from reading Mike Scheidt’s heartfelt Facebook updates over the past couple years, it’s clear the frontman has a new lease on life after an intestinal disease left him hospitalized in 2017. While doom is definitely no stranger to pain and suffering, whether physical…

  • Year-in-review 2015: Matt Hinch

    … is. Glorious. VHÖL – Deeper Than Sky (Profound Lore) Aesop Dekker, Sigrid Sheie, John Cobbett and Mike Scheidt proved VHÖL wasn’t a one-off project with the psychedelic thrashterpiece Deeper Than Sky. Sheie, Cobbett and Dekker put on a clinic of genre fuckery on tracks that writhe with a certain tongue-in-cheek darkness that often makes…

  • YOB, Dark Castle and OTIS–Oh my!

    … on bands without bass. YOB was simply crushing.  I’m almost at a loss for words.  Yes, this isn’t the YOB of old, Mike Scheidt was obviously stoned on something–and the dude’s a dead ringer for Jim Gustafson of 70’s rockers Poobah nowadays–but so what?  Their new album has hardly had time to sink in…

  • YOB: Zen and the Art of Crushing Skulls

    By Adrien Begrand “It was an education, to say the least. Legally we can’t even say the band name.” No matter how lousy your 2008 might have been, chances are it wasn’t anywhere near as bad as it was for Mike Scheidt. Following the break-up of Eugene, Oregon doom masters YOB in 2005, the guitarist…

  • YOB – Clearing the Path to Ascend

    YOB is one of those names where I expect quality before I even take off the shrinkwrap.  Only in this case, it’s been a while; their last album, Atma, came out about three years ago.  Still, I wouldn’t expect any less from Mike Scheidt and co—I’m pretty sure its predecessor was on my year-end top 10 in 2011,…

  • Witch Mountain – South of Salem

    By Gruesome Greg This impressive platter of heavy, Sleepy, stoner/sludge/doom had me salivating even before frontwoman Uta Plotkin uttered her first note on first course “Wing of the Lord”. And man, what a voice. Picture Sleep fronted by a female Mike Scheidt, and you’d have some idea of what this reunited Portland outfit sounds like.…
