HEAD CONTROL SYSTEM
Murder Nature KSCOPE
Long-forgotten artefact from Ulver’s Kristoffer Rygg gets another day in the sun.
Despite Head Control System being a vehicle for two progressive metal luminaries, they slipped down the back of the sofa of history. Starting life as a project named SinDRomE by future Anathema drummer and keyboardist Daniel Cardoso, it blossomed when Ulver vocalist Kristoffer ‘Garm’ Rygg got involved. Belying the duo’s pedigree, their only album was released with little fanfare and no live support into the post-nu metal hinterland of the mid-2000s, where it lay as a largely undiscovered gem.
