Don’t tell your viewpoint, I don’t want to hear it Disrupting the subject, don’t try to change it Don’t twist it to your advantage Not your position, don’t lead the narrative This isn’t your fight, don’t combat against them Just stay back, this isn’t fictive Don’t act on the impulse, don’t push it forward Disrupting the subject, don’t try to change it These are our real lives, It’s no fiction No fiction

XIAO, Stockholm’s relentless force in hardcore, returns with their debut full-length, CONTROL. Building on the raw intensity of their EPs PAIN (2021) and BURN (2023), CONTROL pushes their sound to new heights, blending powerviolence ferocity with the urgency of modern hardcore. Recorded by Jörgen “Jugglo” Wall and mixed by Ben Jones (Pest Control), the album features collaborations with Lifecrusher, Entry, Blood Sermon, and others, delivering XIAO’s most politically charged and uncompromising work to date.
