YOB disbanded

YOB have disbanded;

"......Mike from YOB here. As many of you know Isamu and Travis left YOB in July of 2005. Many people have contacted me wanting to try out for the band, and I did try some people out. At the end of the day, the thing that feels best to me is to call it a day with YOB. The only way I feel I can move forward musically is to let YOB`s history stand on it`s own and move on with a new band.

This band will be called Age and I will be recording demos to submit to labels within a few months. This music will be very much in the vein of YOB, with new vibes and twists... and always utterly DOOMED......"
