EP REVIEW: Decrepit Youths- Love Psycho Kill Machine
Words by Anselm Anderson
Decrepit Youths is the latest band to gain popularity in the UK. This Newcastle-based quartet of rap metal musicians released their three-track debut EP, "Love Psycho Kill Machine", last week as an independent project.
Formed in 2023, they quickly gained widespread airplay on BBC Radio One as part of the channel's Introducing series. The band features a dynamic vocal partnership between David Stoker and Connor Pattison, accompanied by bassist Tim Gambles and drummer Thomas Lee. They now offer a preview of their high-octane, aggressive sound.
The group isn’t shy about tackling themes such as drug and alcohol use, as highlighted in the opening track "Love Psycho Kill Machine." This song is a burst of rapid rap verses layered over gritty guitars and distorted monologues, evoking the chaos of a very messy night out.
The chaotic and dysfunctional sound continues with "Black Dove," which features a combination of harsh and clean vocals set against sonic electronic beats and cinematic passages.
And finally, the unstable "Monster in Me" concludes this mini-release with the combination of rap and Guttural screams set against the backdrop of rising electronic beats and high-tempo guitars.
Decrepit Youths hope to mature and build on their rising success with this release. The band's genre-bending blend of metal is raw, dirty and uncomfortable. A perfect remedy for metal enthusiasts of bands like Bring Me The Horizon and Don Broco.
