Since the late 1990s, the American project CONTROL, the sonic moniker of Thomas Garrison, has occupied a formidable position within the power electronics and death industrial underground. Across nearly three decades, Garrison has refined a mercilessly precise approach to noise, treating distortion, saturation, and volume not as ends in themselves, but as instruments of tension, psychological dread, and conceptual extremity.
ENEMY establishes a psychological siege across a distinct narrative arc. The album unfolds meticulously shifts from an anxious, hyper-vigilant mood in its opening movement, escalates into pure adversarial aggression, and ultimately collapses into an absolute, fatalistic void. True to its title, the record functions as a confrontational mirror held up to a fracturing world - a raw, uncompromising document of structural collapse that simultaneously examines global macro-conflict and the hostile enemy hiding within the human psyche.
Released November 20th on Ant-Zen Records.
