Not to be confused with Chthonic Youth, who definitely scored the better version of the name but the far shittier sound, London-based Cthulhu Youth are feedback-laced, dissonant powerviolence, coupling sludge grooves, in the manner of Weekend Nachos, with harsh, dystopian electronics and chaotic, pit-filling hardcore. The masked three-piece have an “anti-cosmic” cassette demo out, strictly limited to 50 and possibly touched with a cat, and a bunch of shows with assorted grimey hardcore bands of chuggerific quality. Enigmatic pseudo-black metal image management aside, this is sinister, disorientating stuff and the lack of gurning faces, acne-ridden peering gormlessly over the top of boxfresh Bastard Noise t-shirts only adds to it.
