London melodic hardcore/emo band Death of Youth are set to release their debut full-length album, ‘Nothing Is The Same Anymore’, on February 16, 2026. The record marks a defining moment for the band, it’s their first release as a full lineup and sees them expand on their emotionally charged sound with a renewed sense of urgency, depth, and conviction.

Recorded at Rogue Recording Studios between February and April 2025, the album was produced and tracked by Michael Kew and Rob Parnell, and mixed and mastered by Kew at Rogue Studios in July 2025.

Originally founded in 2018 as the bedroom project of vocalist Rob David, Death of Youth first made waves with their emotionally raw debut EP ‘Between Chapters’ and 2020’s ‘Suburban Dystopia’. The latter showcased the project’s shift toward social and political commentary and caught the attention of Engineer Records, who released the compilation ‘Some Demons Never Die’ in 2021.

After a brief hiatus, Death of Youth returned in 2024 as a full band, now featuring Joe Arnold (guitar), Carlos Zelaya (bass), and William Page (drums), the band debuted their live lineup in London and shared stages with bands including Chalk Hands, Still in Love, Zeddon, and Pothole.

Their debut album ‘Nothing Is The Same Anymore’ is a deeply introspective yet socially aware record that explores the fractures and fears of modern existence. Lead single “Fix Your Heart or Die” tackles transgender rights, while “Desensitised” examines male attitudes toward violence against women. Other tracks explore emotional abuse (Invertebrate), and bigotry within the heavy music scene (Performance Art).

While the album boldly engages with these urgent topics, it also makes space for moments of personal reflection. The penultimate track “Castle Rock” mourns the loss of a childhood friend, while the closing and title track “Nothing Is The Same Anymore” captures the painful but necessary journey of healing from trauma.
