ctrl LIVE: The Young Gods [CH]

The Young Gods, Geneva’s cult band, are bringing their industrial rock storm to Control on March 13, 2026, promoting their latest release, _Appear Disappear_. Driven by a desire for something raw, this new album marks a shift from the atmospheric textures of 2019’s “_Data Mirage Tangram_”, as the band returns to a more direct and visceral form of expression. They embarked on a tremendous tour, started this October and with a second leg next spring, just on point to mark their 40 year anniversary in the scene. Rarely has a Young Gods album been so deeply infused with its era—one of military conflicts, mass surveillance, and intimate dramas. Since their inception in 1985, the band has pioneered musical landscapes that dared to fuse the raw urgency of rock with the power of electronics. This album captures that beating heart. The Young Gods honor their own history as much as their lifelong influences, from psychedelic rock to post-punk, from the swirling, very "Doors-like" “Intertidal” to the industrial rolls of “Systemized”. _“Appear Disappear sees the band rediscovering their edge and capturing the turbulent mood of today.”_ _—_ Louder Than War, 4/5. Decades ago, The Young Gods reconfigured rock music using the new technology of sampling in a manner no one else had thought to. What began as a limitation of early technology became their driving force, turning restriction into pure innovation. Their new shows are explosive, come with an immerisve lights show and mandatory to attend.
