Young and in the Way was a blackened crust ensemble originating from Charlotte, North Carolina, established in 2009. Their sound was characterized as "harsh, uncompromising, and intense." They were previously affiliated with the label Deathwish Inc.
History
Formed in 2009, the group issued their recordings both independently and through labels such as Antithetic Records, Headfirst Records, and A389 Recordings. Their album When Life Comes to Death saw a global release via Deathwish Inc. in 2014.
In February 2018, allegations of sexual assault emerged against one member, initially reported by Detroit’s venue Trumbullplex, referencing events dating back to mid-2014. These accusations prompted cancellations of festival appearances, termination of their contract with Deathwish, and ultimately led to the band's dissolution. Although the band denied any involvement, they disbanded due to an inability to clear their names. They issued a statement: "No member of our band was responsible for this crime... we support [the victim]... But it was not us."
Despite the breakup in 2018, Young and in the Way issued a posthumous album titled Ride Off and Die in November 2020, which had leaked shortly after their split.
