Youth Code is one of most exciting duos in heavy industrial music not named Nine Inch Nails. When they took a break their future seemed uncertain. I can report wholeheartedly that upon their return their future, at least musicall remains as bleak as ever. While not as chaotic and frantic as their previous releases Yours,…
