The reality is that this release roundup is currently a monthly post. I’m trying to give myself a bit more time, so that I can do this more frequently, but it’s not quite working out like that yet!
This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from this website and others, and also a catchup of what I’ve posted recently. Thanks to everyone who sends me new music and events, keeps me up to speed, and indeed simply reads these posts.
/amodelofcontrol.com now has a Patreon page, at this stage purely as a potential way of helping to cover the running costs of the site. There is absolutely no compulsion to do so: if you feel you can chuck a small amount to the site each month, that would be appreciated.

/Releases out today or recently
/Albums of the Week
20-Mar 2026 / Neurosis / An Undying Love For A Burning World / Bandcamp
I mean, how could it not be? Released hours after the last release roundup, the return of post-metal titans Neurosis is better than I could ever have hoped it would be.
27-Mar 2026 / Mesh / The Truth Doesn’t Matter / Bandcamp
The first Mesh album in a while, and it does what they always do, but somehow better.
/New Albums
27-Mar 2026 / ADULT. / Kissing Luck Goodbye / Bandcamp
Seething, clattering industrial-electro from the Detroit veterans.
27-Mar 2026 / Beyond Border / Aftermath / Official Label Store
One of the stars of Resistanz last year release their new album at last.
27-Mar 2026 / clubdrugs / lovesick / Bandcamp
Industrial dreampop is a thing that works, it turns out.
27-Mar 2026 / Courtney Barnett / Creature of Habit / Bandcamp
Australian slacker-rock seems a reductive term, but Courtney Barnett is excellent at it…
27-Mar 2026 / DÄLEK / Brilliance of a Falling Moon / Bandcamp
One of the best hip-hop groups around are back.
27-Mar 2026 / Hellripper / Coronach / Bandcamp
Highland speed metal.
27-Mar 2026 / Party Cannon / Subjected to A Partying / Bandcamp
27-Mar 2026 / Robyn / Sexistential / Bandcamp
Robyn is back, and dealing with ageing and sex by singing about it.
27-Mar 2026 / The Twilight Sad / IT’S THE LONG GOODBYE / Bandcamp
The reliably gloomy Twilight Sad take things even darker with an album that is deeply about loss.
03-Apr 2026 / BLACKBOOK / Different / Bandcamp
While one of the stars of Infest last year release a new album, although most of the songs have been drip-fed as singles in recent months…
03-Apr 2026 / Angine de Poitrine / Vol. II / Bandcamp
The wild duo du jour release a challenging, but surprisingly enjoyable album of prog-math-rock anthems.
03-Apr 2026 / Divider / Zero / Bandcamp
Industrial veterans produce an outstanding new album.
A new album from a body music veteran that going on the excellent first single Artifacts, promises a great deal.
03-Apr 2026 / Sunn O))) / Sunn O))) / Bandcamp
Back to a duo, Sunn O))) are still (very) loud and very good at what they do.
10-Apr 2026 / Sys Machine / Parts Unknown / Bandcamp
Downbeat, trip-hop industrial that’s really quite great.
17-Apr 2026 / SDH / Rider / Bandcamp
The Spanish industrial duo return with a punishing release.
17-Apr 2026 / Skindred / You Got This / Official Label Store
The party-starting metallers are back with their latest album. Smile made #2 in the album charts on release in 2023, could they go one better this time around?
/New Singles/EPs
20-Mar 2026 / Slighter / Don’t Lick Boots / Bandcamp
A snarling, seething new single from Slighter. And yes, it’s fucking political.
24-Mar 2026 / Pulp / The Man Comes Around / Bandcamp
A curious new EP from Pulp that is led by a cover of Johnny Cash’s last perfect song.
09-Apr 2026 / Absolute Form / Form & Function / Bandcamp
Probably the best EBM I’ve heard all year.
10-Apr 2026 / Glass Apple Bonzai / I Am A Machine / Bandcamp
A fascinating, sprawling new single from Glass Apple Bonzai that is darker than before.
13-Apr 2026 / The Anchoress / I Had A Baby Not A Lobotomy / Bandcamp
A new single at last from The Anchoress, tackling views of motherhood.
16-Apr 2026 / Boards of Canada / Tape 05 / YouTube
A curious, stealthy marketing campaign has finally borne fruit with a new song from the enigmatic duo. What else is to come, we don’t yet know…
16-Apr 2026 / Massive Attack / Boots on the Ground (feat. Tom Waits) / Official Artist Store
Massive Attack return at last, with a searing track featuring the unmistakable voice of Tom Waits.
17-Apr 2026 / Gout / Actual Bastard / Spotify
Nasty, grimy sludgy metal from Glasgow that is quite great. (If a Bandcamp link drops, I’ll update it).
/New Compilations, Live Albums, Reissues
17-Apr 2026 / Nine Inch Nails x Boys Noize / Nine Inch Noize / Bandcamp
Fresh from their collaboration on the last NIN tour, and then the barnstorming Coachella performance last weekend, an album was inevitable. It remarkably provides some amazing reworkings of older NIN songs, breathing new life into them.

The Beat:Cancer team release their latest, sprawling compilation.
14-Apr 2026 / Sinsect / Sex, Bugs & Industrial / Bandcamp
14-Apr 2026 / Various Artists / CRL Studios Presents: Chrysalis / Bandcamp
James Ashley of industrial act Sinsect died recently, and a number of his peers and friends have got together to release a benefit compilation to help his family, and CRL Studios have also released a posthumous compilation of Sinsect work new and unreleased (which I understand was already in the plans before he died).
27-Mar 2026 / Don Caballero / American Don (Deluxe Edition) / Bandcamp
The Math-Rock behemoth returns with a new remaster.
10-Apr 2026 / Frank Turner / Campfire Punkrock 20 / Bandcamp
Frank Turner’s first EP gets a shiny new reissue.
10-Apr 2026 / Slighter / This Futile Engine Redux / Bandcamp
A production rebuild (and you can tell the difference) of this excellent Slighter album from a few years back.
/Upcoming Albums
21-Apr 2026 / flint glass & ah cama-sotz / the shadow of the torturer / Bandcamp
A fascinating-looking compilation between two longstanding electronic artists.

Vicious breakcore-noise coming your way.

/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 new revamp and redesign as of September 2025.
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.
