Recorded between Portugal and Norway in 2005?2006, and produced and mixed by Cardoso himself. Murder Nature<\/em><\/strong> was released to great critical acclaim, and has gained the reputation of being a lost classic of sorts over the years, whilst the compositions themselves remained timeless and ageless, and often requested for a proper and extensive reissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This newly remastered double-disc edition of Murder Nature<\/em><\/strong>, now includes a special bonus disc of unreleased instrumental and demo material from the time period, along with a cover of Seal\u2019s<\/strong> ?80s hit  Kiss From a Rose <\/strong>. The release also includes updated art and layout, and contains a booklet featuring a comprehensive interview delving into the beginnings, endings, and inner workings of the whole project, courtesy of writer Jonathan Rosenthal<\/strong>, (Invisible Oranges, Decibel, Brooklyn Vegan) plus additional words from members of other luminaries of the progressive metal scene, such as Periphery<\/strong> and Between the Buried and Me<\/strong>.Murder Nature<\/em> stands as a pinnacle of forward-thinking metal from the 2000s, for fans of Tool, A Perfect Circle, Queens of the Stone Age, and Faith No More.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Murder Nature<\/em> was a pretty bold album, especially if you put it into the context of when it was made, and how. Looking back, I\u2019m still surprised that we pulled it off, but I\u2019m glad we did ’cause it pretty much paved the way to my long-lasting career as a musician and producer.? \u2013 says Daniel Cardoso. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Murder Nature will be available as a double CD and single LP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head Control System<\/strong> was a venture set out by multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire Daniel Cardoso<\/strong> (Anathema<\/strong> \/ Sirius<\/strong>), originally under the moniker of SinDRomE<\/strong>, which developed into a dynamic and 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 Kristoffer Rygg<\/strong> of long-standing Norwegian experimental \u2013 and erstwhile black metal \u2013 legends Ulver<\/strong>. Together with Kristoffer\u2019s unmistakable vocal delivery and Daniel\u2019s finely-honed instrumentation, an intricately woven opus of seduction and darkness with abstract existential musings was created in Murder Nature<\/em><\/strong>, the band\u2019s only studio album to date. It was originally released back in 2006 through Voices Music & Entertainment (EU) and The End Records (US).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
