Not gonna lie, wasn’t expecting flamboyant synthpop from Gesaffelstein, but here we are…

It’s been promised for a long, long time, but industrial shoegaze project Bloody Knives finally have their new album out.

Something of a return to their college rock roots on this lovely, nostalgic album.
31-May 2024 / Cell Zero / The Color Drains Out / Bandcamp
A lot of echoes of classic 90s industrial rock on this excellent album.
31-May 2024 / Metroland / Forum / Bandcamp
The Belgian synth duo return, continuing their conceptual investigation of the financial and economic strings of the world from the last album.
01-Jun 2024 / Dirty K / Passion for Punishment / Bandcamp
I’ve known the artist behind Dirty K a long time, and it’s great to see them still releasing unrelenting noise.

Fierce art-rock from this fascinating US band.

UK industrial band back for another round.
21-Jun 2024 / Ex-Hyena / A Kiss of the Mind / Bandcamp
Intriguing “dystopian dance music”, that sounds to me a collision between cyberpunk, industrial and synthwave.

Collide prepare their second covers album, with a fascinating set of song choices.
09-Aug 2024 / Mortal Realm / Stab In The Dark / Bandcamp

The first Mercury Rev album in nine years, and the wide-eyed wonder of their work is on full display on new single Patterns.
13-Sep 2024 / The Jesus Lizard / Rack / Bandcamp
Never mind nine years, the first new material from The Jesus Lizard in no less than twenty-eight years…

/Upcoming Compilations, Live Albums, Reissues
31-Aug 2024 / Lamb of God / Ashes of the Wake (20th Anniversary) / Official Artist Store
A classic of post-millenium metal gets a hefty 20th Anniversary reissue (complete with additional tracks and remixes).
/Upcoming/Livestreams/Gigs/Club Nights/Events
/amodelofcontrol.com continues to maintain an events calendar, but it has now moved to /amodelofcontrol.com/events – and is now a dynamic, searchable database, and you can add individual events to your own calendars. The listing has had a revamp and redesign (and I’m re-adding events, so it’s a bit of a work in progress).
If you have updates, relevant events for me, or want to tell me about something else, use the contact details above. It goes without saying that any gig or club still in the listing is subject to change at short notice, or may not happen at all.
