Youth Code Sign with Sumerian Records, Return with New EP ‘Yours, With Malice’
Industrial metal/hardcore/electronic body music (EBM) outfit Youth Code have been gone for a while. Specifically, they’ve been pretty much silent for the last four years since they released A Skeleton Key in the Doors of Depression with King Yosef. Well, today that all ends as they not only announced they’ve signed with Sumerian Records, but they’ve got an EP titled Yours, With Malice coming out on May 16 and the first single is available for streaming right now.
Released this morning, the new track “No Consequences” is a full-on attack, with multi-instrumentalists Sara Taylor and Ryan George putting forth a raw, aggressive sound that’s sonically full of angles and attack. And while we don’t know how the rest of the EP shakes out, the band say a lot of the sounds and references on it “come from classic 90s influences such as Nine Inch Nails’ classic Broken/Fixed duality, the untouchable middle period Ministry era that spawned The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste, in addition to a plethora of others like Front 242, Cabaret Voltaire, and Portion Control, the core attack has not changed much.”
Along with the new track and EP, they’ve announced that Sumerian Records is their new home. The label’s Vice President Julien O’Neill expressed how excited he is that Youth Code are now part of the label’s already strong lineup.
“Youth Code have long been a commanding voice in both electronic and heavy music, and we are incredibly honored to welcome them to Sumerian Records with the announcement of their latest release, ‘Yours, With Malice.’ We believe this marks a powerful new chapter in their already illustrious career and are excited for what the future will bring for both new and longtime fans alike.”
Yours, With Malice will be released on May 16 via Sumerian Records, but you can preorder your copy today.
