Bandcamp day again already, and yet again, there’s another big list of releases. In addition, I’ve overhauled the events page in a big way, so see the link further down for that. Livestreams and waiting for new releases seem to be the order of the day for now, still, so I continue to wrap up both.

Also, if you missed them, read my roundup of 2020 in the form of /Countdown/2020. /Countdown/2020/Albums, /Countdown/2020/Tracks, and /Countdown/2020/Compilations and Re-issues.

/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/024, which starts on the letter P. /transmission/025 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).

/Releases out today or recently
The Gothsicles / Animal Songs /Bandcamp
Banging tracks about animals. What’s not to love?
LONESAW / Lay in the salt of the soil /Bandcamp
These experimentalists made quite a splash last year – this expands that into five tracks of utter sonic terror.
Arab Strap / As Days Get Dark /Bandcamp
The miserable Scottish duo return with their first album in sixteen years, and I’ve no doubt it will be both downbeat and hilarious.
Birdpen / All Function One /Bandcamp
Groovy, strange proggy post-punk – although my definition of it might change tomorrow.
Chiasm & John Fryer / Missed The Noise /Bandcamp
Up and coming industrial artist Chiasm joins forces with producer John Fryer, with impressive results.
Croc Shop / Perpetual Sequence /Bandcamp
The rejuvenated Croc Shop return with an intriguing album
Mork / Katedralen /Bandcamp
Snarling Norwegian Black Metal that takes inspiration from bands prior.
Ungraven / Slomatics / Ungraven / Slomatics Split 12″ /Bandcamp
A split release of filthy, riff-heavy doom.
Youth Code X King Yosef / A Skeleton Key In The Doors of Depression /Bandcamp
Out on Monday, the long-awaited new material from industrial punk behemoth Youth Code, having teamed up with producer King Yosef.
Portion Control / SEEDEP3 /Bandcamp
The prolific industrial/EBM pioneers continue their recent release series.
The New Division / Sequence /Bandcamp
Another excellent single from this electronic/synthpop act (whose album last year was in my top 10 of 2020).
Slighter / Complicit /Bandcamp
The excellent, bass-heavy single from Slighter
Duellist & iFormat / Rabid /Bandcamp
Fierce new industrial techno released by the Drøne label.
Curve / Hell Above Water – Bootleg series 8 /Bandcamp
Dean Garcia continues his fascinating dig into the Curve archives

Throat seems an appropriate name for this savage noise rock.

/Upcoming/Livestreams/Gigs/Club Nights/Events
Obviously, things change at short notice right now, and I’m updating events as they are postponed or cancelled, and also including relevant Livestreams as they are announced.

/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.

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.
