The London melodic hardcore/emo band’s new LP will be released on coloured vinyl via Engineer Records (UK), Cat’s Claw Records (UK Cassette Only), Sell The Heart Records (US), Remorse Records (France), Dancing Rabbit Records (Germany), Vina Records (Italy), and Pasidaryk Pats Records (Lithuania).

The record marks a defining moment for the band, it’s their first release as a full line-up and sees them expand on their emotionally charged sound with a renewed sense of urgency, depth, and conviction.

Recorded at Rogue Recording Studios between February and April 2025, the album was produced and tracked by Michael Kew and Rob Parnell, and mixed and mastered by Kew at

Rogue Studios in July 2025.

Originally founded in 2018 as the bedroom project of vocalist Rob David, Death of Youth first made waves with their emotionally raw debut EP ‘Between Chapters’ and 2020’s ‘Suburban Dystopia’. The latter showcased the project’s shift toward social and political commentary and caught the attention of Engineer Records, who released the compilation 'Some Demons Never Die' in 2021. After a brief hiatus, Death of Youth returned in 2024 as a full band, now featuring Joe Arnold (guitar), Carlos Zelaya (bass), and William Page (drums), the band debuted their live line-up in London and shared stages with bands including Chalk Hands, Still in Love, Zeddon, and Pothole.

Their debut album ‘Nothing Is The Same Anymore’ is a deeply introspective yet socially aware record that explores the fractures and fears of modern existence. Lead single “Fix Your Heart or Die” tackles transgender rights, while “Desensitised” examines male attitudes toward violence against women. Other tracks explore emotional abuse (Invertebrate), and bigotry within the heavy music scene (Performance Art). While the album boldly engages with these urgent topics, it also makes space for moments of personal reflection. The penultimate track “Castle Rock” mourns the loss of a childhood friend, while the closing and title track “Nothing Is The Same Anymore” captures the painful but necessary journey of healing from trauma.

Musically, the record weaves together the band’s hardcore foundation with influences from screamo/skramz, Midwest emo, and early 2000s post-hardcore, creating a sound that’s both

cathartic and contemplative, drawing comparisons to Touché Amoré, Departures, and La Dispute.

The beautiful album artwork is by Alex CF and LP pre-orders are live now.

Death of Youth’s last three shows of the year are coming up soon now:

The Cowley Club in Brighton for our BN1 debut with @un_automne_de_plus on the 27th November (organised by Punx Picnic)

Then the London show of the year at Calamity Tank in Leytonstone with Closed Hands, Christina Carpenter, and Kill The Snitch

Finishing up the year with Rampage Fest at Kaset Skate Park in King's Lynn (organised by Asinine Corp and Yellow Tape Promotions)

These shows should be a great way to close out the year.
