A welcome to the many new readers of this page. This is the weekly Friday post, 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 – has returned, continuing the run through of the a-z of industrial, with all episodes thus far are here. The latest episode is /transmission/018, which gets started on the letter M. /transmission/019 will follow soon.

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

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).

/This Week/New Releases

Catching up a bit after not being able to post last Friday. One outstanding release last week came from synthpop/electro group The New Division, whose new album Hidden Memories comes highly recommended (and Fascination from it was track of the month on /Tuesday Ten/394 – link at the bottom).

Also released last week was the first new material from Be My Enemy in ages (Wardance EP), as well as a new version of Un-United Kingdom by Pitchshifter (and it appeared to be revealed this morning that there is an EP coming next week).

This week has seen an intriguing release from N A T U R E (V O I X), and ESA returns with the pummelling Burial10.

/This Week/Upcoming Releases

A whole host of new releases have been announced in the past few weeks.

In date order: 28-Feb see the latest release from Rhys Fulber, the Diaspora EP. The lead track featuring Sara Taylor of Youth Code, as they take on Black Flag’s Slip It In. Two days later Concrete Lung are back with The Ecstasy of Emptiness, and then on 13-Mar post-punk group SPECTRES release Nostalgia.

Then on 27-Mar, Pouppée Fabrikk release Armén, their first new material in an age if I recall correctly, while progressive doomsters Katatonia return from a brief hiatus with City Burials – and the radically different single Lacquer is out now.

Talking of returns, on 08-May Lamb of God release their self-titled eighth album, while a week later Sparks release A Steady Drip, Drip, Drip. Then, on 05-Jun Nadine Shah releases her new album Kitchen Sink.
