It’s a question of control Either you have it, or you don’t The doors are wide open To use what you know Incentivize To deregulate Profiteers Will plan ahead Can’t deviate from the status quo Future careers are on the line Has the world changed Or wasn’t this something to be ashamed of? Incentivize To deregulate Elected officials Benefit themselves My country’s for sale Everything can be bought Low prices to stay free What we built is gone

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.
