The latest roundup of new releases in this everlasting summer.
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
/New Albums
17-Jul-26 / Loathe / A Stranger To You / Bandcamp
It has taken six years, but it turns out the wait was worth it. There is still moments of crushing metallic power, but there’s also stark acoustic balladry, jazz, electronics and the sense that this is a special band who are open-minded, and confident, enough to try anything and somehow make it work.
17-Jul-26 / Quicksand / Bring On The Psychics / Bandcamp
Quicksand returned a good few years back, but their latest album is twenty-nine minutes of perhaps their best-ever songs: it fizzes with life and a burning desire to make the most of whatever time is left.
/New Singles/EPs
17-Jul-26 / Damage Control x OHMElectronic / Manifesto / Bandcamp
A dark, brooding new single from Damage Control, this time in conjunction with OHMElectronic – and also neatly works to herald the return of the latter, as they have a new album in the works.
24-Jul-26 / Brutalist Architecture in The Sun / The Beauty In Broken EP / Bandcamp
A new EP from the Medway electronics duo, with songs from an otherwise abandoned album and a few other odds and ends.
/New Compilations, Live Albums, Reissues
17-Jul-26 / The Berzerker / The Reawakening / Bandcamp
The long-obscure final album from the returned Australian industrial-grindcore heroes gets a proper release at last.
24-Jul-26 / Meshuggah / Destroy Erase Improve (30th Anniversary Remaster) / Official Artist Store
24-Jul-26 / Meshuggah / Catch Thirty Three (20th Anniversary Remaster) / Official Artist Store
Two anniversaries at once for Meshuggah, most notably for their groundbreaking 1995 release that still sounds fresh and surprising even after all these years.
/Upcoming Albums
21-Aug-26 / Chelsea Wolfe / The Dark / Bandcamp
Chelsea Wolfe returns, with a subtle shifting of her sound, it seems.
04-Sep-26 / BESTIAL MOUTHS / DEAD LINES / Bandcamp
The striking intensity of BESTIAL MOUTHS is even more so on the first taste of the upcoming album.
18-Sep-26 / Boy Harsher / Get Mean / Bandcamp
What is really the first proper new album from Boy Harsher since the astonishing Careful comes from a major label (they have signed to Atlantic).
09-Oct-26 / Twin Temple / Doomed Lovers / Official Artist Store
Everyone’s favourite satanists are back.
30-Oct-26 / Ministry / Hate to Go (Take Out or Delivery) / Official Label Store
What is absolutely, honestly, the final Ministry album comes with Paul Barker on at least one track.
/Upcoming EPs/Singles
None this week.
/Upcoming Compilations, Live Albums, Reissues
02-Oct-26 / Swans / Newly Sentient Being / Official Label Store
A(nother) sprawling live album, this time covering the final Swans tour.
09-Oct-26 / Cabaret Voltaire / CODE (2026 Remastered Digital Deluxe Edition) / Bandcamp
An interesting choice for a Cabs reissue is 1987 album CODE. Perhaps a bit overshadowed by the albums prior to it, maybe a bit of time in the spotlight will give it a new lease of life.
/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.
