Young and In the Way is a North Carolina band with an interesting mix of hardcore punk, crusty production, and various black metal cues. Most of the band’s songs on this new 12″, I Am Not What I Am, don’t even break the two-minute mark, but the band still fits in a d-beat, a blast beat, and a black metal chord progression. The sound of this new recording even resembles the cold, harsh aethetic of a black metal record.
