The Haunted Youth return with details of their 2nd studio album, Boys Cry Too, set to drop on 8th May 2026 via Play It Again Sam. On Boys Cry Too, Joachim Liebens abandons the fragile, bedroom-pop innocence of Dawn Of The Freak (2022) - a debut that has since earned cult status back home - in favour of something far more confrontational and emotionally charged. From the towering eight-minute opener ‘in my head’ to the closing track ‘ghost girl’, the album lets go of restraint in favour of something more raw, blending fragile melodies with distortion and aggression to create a sound that feels both intimate and explosive.

Boys Cry Too is released via Play It Again Sam on 8th May 2026. Available on White LP, CD & Digital.
