Alternative metal outfit Islander have unveiled their latest single, Dead Youth, teaming up with former AEW World Champion Darby Allin for a high energy collaboration that blurs the line between heavy music and professional wrestling.
Released alongside an adrenaline fuelled music video, Islander‘s Dead Youth features guest vocals from Allin while showcasing the fearless style that has made him one of wrestling’s most recognisable stars.
The clip is packed with stunt work synonymous with Allin’s in ring persona, including skateboard tricks, high-risk jumps and even a coffin drop crowd surf, yep it’s a fun one.
The video was co-directed by Nathan Mowery and Tyler Horner, with editing handled by Mikey Carvajal, delivering a chaotic visual companion that perfectly matches the song’s aggressive energy (per The PRP).

The collaboration continues Islander’s long standing connection with the wrestling world, the band has previously worked with WWE Hall of Famer Sting, who famously became Allin’s mentor and tag team partner during his time in AEW.
For fans of both heavy music and wrestling, Dead Youth marks another crossover between two worlds that have increasingly embraced one another over the past decade.
