Some things have to be set aside for a while until you can devote enough attention to them again. After founding 2018, releasing two EPs, Death of Youth took a short break in 2021, and are now unveiling their debut album. As the two EPs already suggested, listeners can once again expect hardcore with a hefty emo slant. Bodies are piled up and hearts are laid bare here.
“Fix Your Heart or Die” is a storm-the-stage-and-get-rid-of-all-your-negative-energy-anthem, which reminds me a lot of Casey. Mentioning Casey, this band pulls on the same heartstrings as their Welsh colleagues do. You simple just can’t listen to the opener “Desensitised” without praising the unifying character of singing along to kinetic Hardcore-music. “The Inverse of Patriotism” recalls Touché Amoré around the …is survived by era and the title-track-closer “Nothing is the Same Anymore” scratches together all the energy that is left in the listener to one final rallying-call. All the right inspirations are drawn here.
Nothing Is The Same Anymore is a great foundation for all things yet to come from Death Of Youth. Their debut nourishes a whole lot of your melodic Hardcore and Post-Hardcore needs. From the sound to the feeling, this is no following the trends, this is music loved by its creators and surely also be loved by anyone who loves their music without crowd barriers on small stages with a steady competition for the mic, trying to sing along to the feelings.
