DOUBLE-DISC EDITION OF THE 2006 STUDIO DEBUT FROM ANATHEMA'S DANIEL CARDOSO & ULVER's KRISTOFFER RYGG
- NOW REMASTERED, INCLUDING EXTRA DISC OF DEMOS & INSTRUMENTALS, PLUS COMPREHENSIVE INTERVIEW.
Head Control System was a venture set out by multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire Daniel Cardoso (Anathema/Sirius), originally under the moniker of SinDRomE, which developed into a dynamic & what could also be considered a somewhat trailblazing style of alternative metallic rock with prog textures. The missing piece of the puzzle was completed when Daniel was joined by partner in crime Kristoffer Rygg of long-standing Norwegian experimental - & erstwhile black metal - legends Ulver. Together with Kristoffer's unmistakable vocal delivery & Daniel's finely-honed instrumentation, an intricately woven opus of seduction & darkness with abstract existential musings was created in 'Murder Nature', the band's only studio album to date, which was originally released back in 2006.
Recorded between Portugal & Norway in 2005-2006 & produced & mixed by Cardoso himself 'Murder Nature' was released to great critical acclaim & has gained the reputation of being a lost classic of sorts over the years, whilst the compositions themselves remained timeless & ageless & often requested for a proper & extensive reissue.
This newly remastered double-disc edition of 'Murder Nature', now includes a special bonus disc of unreleased instrumental & demo material from the time period, along with a cover of Seal's hit 'Kiss From A Rose'. The release also includes updated art & layout & contains a booklet featuring a comprehensive interview delving into the beginnings, endings & inner workings of the whole project, courtesy of writer Jonathan Rosenthal, plus additional words from members of other luminaries of the progressive metal scene, such as Periphery & Between The Buried & Me.
'Murder Nature' stands as a pinnacle of forward-thinking metal from the 2000's, for fans of Tool, A Perfect Circle, Queens of the Stone Age & Faith No More.
