Years Of Denial is back on Veyl with their second LP, Suicide Disco Vol. 2. The follow-up to 2019's Suicide Disco (VEYL 012LP), the duo makes a triumphant return, elevating their distinct sound which fuses dark wave, goth, new beat, post-punk, EBM, and techno. 12 tracks all written and produced at Ark of Noise studio, located miles away from the polluted noise of social turbulences, immersed in isolation, creative indulgence, and poetic writing. From the start, "Art Break" provides the perfect warm-up, gently cleansing the palette and re-introducing us to Barkosina's lustful vocals with a slow-burning pace that only marks the beginning. "Wrong" picks things up, injecting a dose of body music for an infectious piece that bleeds into "La Pendue" which keeps the energy rising. Next up, "Mr. Guillotine" delivers a razor-sharp edge, carving out a fresh post-punk feel which then brings you to the brooding, 'Never Satisfied'. 'Lover's Crime' marks the halfway point of the record and one of the album's standout tracks. Undeniably seductive with an ominous feel, the pair keep this mood going with "City Lights" and then smash things open with "Dancing With Demons". After the devious message sent with "The Letter", you are submerged in the romantic melancholia of "Death Of A Lover" and "Regarding the Pain of Others" before closing things out with "Social Anxiety" which features vocals by longtime collaborator Broken English Club. The result is an immersive journey through the pair's self-described, "Suicide Disco" sound, and further builds on the Years of Denial form and legacy. Gatefold; includes poster and download.
