YAITW (Young and in the Way) are a blackened metal/crust hybrid from North Carolina. Over the last four years YAITW have evolved through multiple releases, melding a metal speed and hypnotic atmospherics with a bleak hardcore/punk spirit.
 
"When Life Comes To Death" is the newest album from YAITW and will be out on Deathwish on May 27th. It is their eleven song war between the pain of living and the magnetic pull of death. Each song is as dispirited and vitriolic as the next. Embattled opener "Betrayed By Light" emerges from darkness first, setting an ominous tone with haunting buzz-saw guitars, vicious vocals, and crushing d-beat drumming. While YAITW embrace demon speed and emotional dynamics in nihilistic hymns "Be My Blood", "Take My Hand", "We Are Nothing", and more. All leading to closers "Shadow of Murder" and "Embrace Extinction", that together play as an aural eclipse of truly epic proportions.

What I will remember from this is that it's weird how extreme metal and descriptions of burnt food (blackened, crust) seem to go well together.
