The latest roundup of new releases…
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
/Album of the Week
05-Jun 2026 / A. A. Williams / Solstice / Bandcamp
The new A. A. Williams album is frankly astonishingly good: a smouldering, powerful release that is easily the best of her career so far.
/New Albums
05-Jun 2026 / Where We Sleep / The Arsonist / Bandcamp
Longtime site favourite Beth Rettig is back with an album that’s been in the works for a while, and it is an impressive set of songs which evolve her sound further.
05-Jun 2026 / The Joy Thieves / Apocalypse Pending / Bandcamp
The latest album from the sprawling industrial rock collective that could be seen as a state of the world address.
11-Jun 2026 / YHWH Nailgun / Magazine / Bandcamp
The bracing noise-rock band return with an eleven-minute album that crams a whole lot of ideas and volume into the short length.
12-Jun 2026 / BIG|BRAVE / in grief or in hope / Bandcamp
BIG|BRAVE are always a challenging listen, and the drone-based power of this release is no exception.
/New Singles/EPs
02-Jun 2026 / Neuroticfish / Skin26 / Bandcamp
The very first Neuroticfish single, the much-loved Skin, gets a punchy and impressive new rework.
05-Jun 2026 / NOIR / Breath and Taxes / Bandcamp
Athan Maroulis returns to his Spahn Ranch material for a rare reworking of the first SR track he wrote.
09-Jun 2026 / Nothing New / Nothing Is Serious / Bandcamp
A new EP from London scene stalwart Nathan Nothing, taking in minimal synth and EBM.
12-Jun 2026 / Puerta Negra / Metafísica / Bandcamp
Seething synth-punk-meets-EBM from Portland.
/New Compilations, Live Albums, Reissues
05-Jun 2026 / Clock DVA / Thirst (2026 Remaster) / Bandcamp
The long-unavailable album from Clock DVA gets a remaster at last.
/Upcoming Albums
17-Jul 2026 / Loathe / A Stranger To You / Bandcamp
At fucking last: the long, long-awaited follow-up from Loathe, and the blistering singles from it suggest another classic in the making.
18-Aug 2026 / Emma Ruth Rundle / These Killing Times / Bandcamp
It feels like it’s been a while, but Emma Ruth Rundle is back, this time with a full band, and if single Powerless is anything to go by, I’m going to be playing this on repeat.
21-Aug 2026 / The Afghan Whigs / Soft Control / Official Artist Store
This older, wiser band are marking 40 years active this year, and as well as extensive touring are releasing a new album.
28-Aug 2026 / Mildreda / Realities / Bandcamp
Jan Dewulf returns with a sprawling double album and this time investigating the concept and perception of reality. The lead single End of the Line is a thumping electro-industrial workout.
04-Sep 2026 / Chat Pile / Who Loves The Sun / Bandcamp
Chat Pile’s weird sludge-metal-meets-alt-rock hybrid has turned out to be surprisingly enjoyable, and they seem to be inching towards more accessible sounds, at least going on the latest single – but without losing any of their oppressive heaviness.
18-Sep 2026 / DE STAAT / DE STAAT / Official Artist Store
Dutch alt-rock experimentalists DE STAAT are back, and this time with a full album, but reputedly the new live show is something quite different…
/Upcoming EPs/Singles
None this week.
/Upcoming Compilations, Live Albums, Reissues
26-Jun 2026 / Borghesia / Resistance / Bandcamp
The brilliant, sometimes overlooked album from Slovenian industrial band Borghesia is the latest to get the reissue treatment.
24-Jul 2026 / Meshuggah / Destroy Erase Improve (30th Anniversary Remaster) / Official Artist Store
24-Jul 2026 / Meshuggah / Catch Thirty Three (20th Anniversary Remaster) / Official Artist Store
The hugely influential and technically advanced metallers Meshuggah are marking two anniversaries this year, and so the still astonishing debut and later album Catch Thirty Three get remasters as a result.
07-Aug 2026 / mclusky / My Pain and Sadness Is More Sad and Painful Than Yours (2026 Remaster) / Bandcamp
While mclusky are highly active, why not? Their debut is the latest to get the remaster treatment.
/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.
