Young knives - Barbarians (Official music video) 2020

Young Knives' first album in seven years, as the title suggests, is about the depths of human depravity, a record littered with violence and horror, from street fights to brutal exectuions, inspired by John Gray's infamously bleak book Straw Dogs. For all the horror of its subject matter, however, Barbarians is not an austere or oppressive album. It's extremely entertaining, full of ricocheting industrial riffs, pummelling beats and thunderous electronic rushes, as melodramatic and pompous as it is dark. Patrick Clarke
