YB “Hardworking life marks our 30th anniversary, preparing for best album + tour”

The band YB shared their thoughts on their 30th anniversary.

Representing YB, Yoon Do-hyun said at the showcase for their new metal album ‘ODYSSEY’ held at Hongdae Rolling Hall in Mapo-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 17th, “Looking back on the past 30 years, I wonder where we got here, but it seems like 30 years have passed because I didn‘t do it with a goal in mind and just lived hard every day.“

He said, “I’m trying to make this year meaningful. I‘m also preparing a best album and a long tour. I think it was because songs like ‘Maybe I Loved’ and ‘Love TWO’ were loved while doing 30 years that I was able to be more courageous. Looking back on the path I’ve taken, I feel overflowing with gratitude,” he said.

The new album ‘ODYSSEY’ is a hybrid modern metal style album that YB is attempting anew. It is a work that stands out with its intense djent-based sound and new attempts that expand YB‘s existing color, and it is characterized by the noticeable changes in the members, such as vocalist Yoon Do-hyun’s growling and screaming techniques, Heo Jun‘s technical guitar playing, Park Tae-hee’s heavy bass, and Kim Jin-won‘s elaborate double bass drumming.

The album contains a total of 6 tracks, including the pre-released song ‘Rebellion (Feat. Xdinary Heroes)’, which featured JYP band Xdinary Heroes and appeared in the music video for, and the double title track ‘Orchid’. The album will be released at 6 PM on the 26th, and the LP, LP special edition, and KiT versions will also be released simultaneously.
