Young and In The Way is an American band that made a significant impact within the underground music scene, often recognized for their raw and visceral fusion of black metal and hardcore punk. Formed in Charlotte, North Carolina in 2009, the band consists of members Kable Lyall (vocals), Chris Nolen (guitar), Rick Contes (guitar), Randy Baucom (drums), and Chris Thomas (bass). Their music is characterized by a bleak and aggressive tone, showcasing a dark blend of blistering riffs, thunderous drumming, and harrowing vocal performances.

The band gained a dedicated following through their relentless touring and impactful live performances, complemented by a series of deeply intense recordings. Notably, their 2014 full-length album "When Life Comes to Death" served to solidify their place in the extreme music domain, drawing attention from both fans and critics alike. The band's discography is marked by a consistent thematic exploration of existential dread and personal anguish. Despite their aggressive and sometimes controversial onstage presence, Young and In The Way continually pushed the boundaries of their genres, leading to a respected albeit polarizing legacy before their disbandment amidst controversy in 2018. Their final release prior to splitting, "Ride Off and Die," serves as a stark reminder of the band's potent and unapologetic approach to music.
