Youth Code - Yours, With Malice (EP 2025)

Youth Code new releaase is a five tracks EP called Yours, With Malice. Firmly rooted in what they do well, EBM/Industrial metal (without guitars), with punk hardcore style screaming and some more melodic singing as well. Basic stuff but full of energy. I enjoy it.

Youth Code & King Yosef - A Skeleton Key in the Doors of Depression

 

Youth Code & King Yosef - A Skeleton Key in the Doors of Depression (2021)

A Skeleton Key in the Doors of Depression is a collaborative album between industrial metal/EBM duo Youth Code and King Yosef (see previous post). It's an interesting and enjoyable album mixing old school and new sound, some tracks sounds more like Youth Code but with King Yosef alternating with YC's Sara Taylor on vocals whereas other tracks sounds a bit like NIN's Pretty hate machine colliding with early Korn. And why not?

Youth Code - Commitment to Complications (2016)

Youth Code is a young duo (Ryan George and Sara Taylor) from LA that manages to remind strongly EBM / industrial from the 90' while breathing fresh air into it with elements from punk / hardcore. Without guitars. Just synths and beats (Ryan George) and singing / screaming (Sara Taylor) but with a very live feel (they are touring a lot and you can hear it). The beats makes you wanna dance and pogo at the same time. The vocals are excellent, most of the time hardcore screaming with some more melodic parts as well. The overall result is really dynamic and vibrant. Commitment to Complications, released this year is their third release (after a demo and a first album, both really good).
