Another Friday, another round-up. As always this is a look at upcoming releases, relevant music news and upcoming events and gigs worth spending some of your time at. It is by no means an exhaustive list, and I’m always on the lookout for more to include.

transmission – the amodelofcontrol.com podcast – has resumed the run through of the a-z of industrial, with transmission: 003 and transmission: 004 joining 001 and 002 online in the past week, and we’ll be continuing with d on transmission: 005 in a couple of weeks. You can also get it via RSS, on iTunes, on Stitcher.

If you want to submit anything to be included here? E-mail me (You know what to do with that to make it work, right?), comment/message on Facebook at the amodelofcontrol.com page, and over on Twitter (@amodelofcontrol).

New and Upcoming Releases this week

A few notable new releases this week. Mysterious act V▲LH▲LL release Grimoire (and I’m hoping to interview them for this site in the coming weeks), while Wetware release Automatic Drawing. In addition, EMA has released a new EP Outtakes from Exile.

Coming up: A Perfect Circle have finally confirmed their new album Eat The Elephant, out on 20-Apr, and you can hear the excellent new song TalkTalk now. In addition, Will Haven release Muerte on 23-Mar, and again you can hear El Sol here.
