It’s Friday, therefore time for the usual amodelofcontrol.com round-up of new music coming your way this week and soon, as well as a look at the events and gigs in the future, and finally nods to any other notable news that affects artists and music that I cover here.

transmission – the amodelofcontrol.com podcast – had begun the run through of the a-z of industrial, with all episodes here. The latest episode was released a few months ago (transmission: 012). transmission: 013 will be out as soon as I have the time to rebuild the whole damned thing…

You can also get it via RSS, on iTunes, on Stitcher, and is also now available on the new Google Podcasts App (search “amodelofcontrol”).

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

As usual I’m playing a little bit of catch-up from last week too, but hopefully that will change in future now I’ve built an upcoming releases file that I can update as I go along.

Anyway: released last week was a new EP from Black Line (Spotify link), and an exceptional compilation of
European EBM and industrial from the eighties called Dancing in Darkness.

This week there are two notable releases: Kælan Mikla member Sólveig Matthildur releases their new album Constantly In Love, and drone lords Sunn O))) are back with the apparently uplifting Life Metal. I can’t wait to hear it.

In upcoming releases, Drab Majesty return with Modern Mirror on 12-July.

Other Music News

An amazing mix put up last week is of pretty much all the samples, origins and influences on the first three Poppies albums.

Other things: the team behind Trainspotting are doing a film about the glory years of Creation Records, Teeth of the Sea are doing a live score at the Science Museum this summer, and things appear to have got weird for the upcoming Static-X dates.
