The Third Sin—The Percussions: Features stomping-synthetic-pounding drums with deeply intriguing layers and EDM beats with synth-soaked textures.
The Fourth Sin: Overall Discussion:
Real and raw music with distorted jackhammer and pummelling riffs, and EDM beats with synth-soaked textures…
The moment the listener presses play, they are greeted by three captivating tracks: Love Psycho Kill Machine, Black Dove, and Monster in Me, each designed to immerse you in their powerful sound.
Decrepit Youths and their album Love Psycho Kill Machine transcend mere music; music that surges with the force of a freight train—alternative, high-octane, and captivating—this is a must-listen. It’s packed with distorted jackhammer and pummelling riffs, vibrant beats, driving rhythms, and melodic hooks that drive the music. At the same time, the music also features stomping-synthetic-pounding drums with deeply intriguing layers and EDM beats with synth-soaked textures and floor-fillers. The vocals provide the listener with dual vocals, which consist of aggressive and shouting vocals.
There are also infusions of elements of the raw power of hard rock, contemporary hits, and even cinematic scores with in Decrepit Youths composition. This entire fruit of art creation resembles a powerful freight train, driven by a fruit of art artistry and devilmanship, that shapes its composition and structure into a cohesive and well-organized whole—musically, lyrically, and instrumentally. The result is an immersive sound experience, enveloped in flawless production that ensures every note stands out with clarity and resonance.
Decrepit Youths presents three standalone songs, that seem to combine into one song.
The opening song, Love Psycho Kill Machine, captivates with a striking combination of harsh EBM elements that echo the fierce energy of aggrotech, intertwined with industrial influences reminiscent of the raw, and anger-management of Marilyn Manson. For the addition of female vocals section, for me, channels a powerful aggrotech essence similar to that of Suicide Commando’s “Bind, Torture, Kill” and Combichrist’s “This S*it Will Fcuk You Up.”
As the album progresses to the second track, Black Dove, a noticeable shift towards an alternative sound emerges. This piece skilfully weaves together elements that evoke the haunting melodies of Avenged Sevenfold‘s “My Nightmare,” and the alternative of Bring Me the Horizon, while still firmly rooted in a robust EBM foundation. The result is a captivating fusion of sounds that draws the listener in, creating an engaging auditory experience.
Monster in Me, the closing piece, takes a deeper plunge into a realm of heightened intensity and emotion. Its dramatic soundscapes create a palpable sense of urgency, as if the listener is traversing their own inner struggles or wandering through a complex mental enigma. The composition’s aggressive yet poignant character stands as a powerful testament to the band’s talent for stirring profound emotions through their music, offering a purging journey for those who fully engage with its rich sonic environment.

The Last Three Sins
Let’s discuss the last three sins of Decrepit Youths and their album, Love Psycho Kill Machine
The Fifth Sin, The Memorabilia:
We found great enjoyment in Decrepit Youths; their sound was unique and resonated with us on a personal level. If you take the time to listen, you’ll understand exactly what I mean. I’m genuinely curious to see how far Decrepit Youths can progress in their musical journey and the impact their music will have. Additionally, Love Psycho Kill Machine, is all a fruit of art -including -the music, their sound, the various elements, composition, and their devilmanship (especially the vocal and sound arrangement in the opening song, it has that mentally-twisted-mind…).
Especially, their self-titled opening track. It transported me into the realm of aggrotech, a genre I sincerely adore. Overall, the electrifying energy and adrenaline from these three songs creates a thrilling and emotional experience that stirs the blood and ignites your soul.
The Sixth Sin, The Artwork:
The artwork has that 1927 German expressionist science-fiction silent movie Metropolis, with a modern EBM feel. The Metropolis film was directed by Fritz Lang and written by Thea von Harbou in collaboration with Lang from von Harbou’s 1925 novel of the same name.
