Open your mouth and shut up

About Me

HEAD CONTROL SYSTEM is a vehement experiment led by Daniel Cardoso (ex-SIRIUS/RE:AKTOR) and featuring Kristoffer Garm Rygg (ULVER/ex-ARCTURUS etc.).
HEAD CONTROL SYSTEM is Heavy Rawk for Mary's little lambs and serial killers alike. The debut album, MURDER NATURE, is out now.
"While the world raves about bands like Velvet Revolver and Audioslave, Head Control System is the real deal." - The Great Nothing
"The majority of radio friendly rock bands couldn't write original music to save their lives, but there are some true gems out there. Especially this year, there have been some bands that have been formed that DO have talent to them. There's Wolfmother (who, in all fairness, haven't really done anything new), and on the other end of the spectrum, there's Head Control System." - Sputnik Music
"One of the best releases of 2006. A startling mix of Katatonia’s tuneful gloom, Korn's stark rhythms and the kind of atmospheric riffs that only Nordic artists seem to be capable of. In addition a vocalist who seems to aspire to a higher plateau." - Just In Press
"A driving engine of pop-influenced rock with lucid and dreamy vocals strapped atop floating rhythms which is perfect for wallowing in your quiet despair." - Pivotal Rage
"An utterly enjoyable mind-fuck. It's not quite stoner rock, but it could be. Not quite prog-rock, though it captures elements of it. Not quite metal, but it is heavy." - Transform Online
"Manages to somehow entwine Korn-esque bass, schlock-horror Rob Zombie-isms, and enough punch behind Garm's "Hell Yeah!" to send fists into the air and gas pedals to the floor the world over. It really is the perfect album for driving down the freeway at just under Mach 1, with the streetlights running together, and the broken white line in your rearview."
- Rebel Extravaganza
"Re:Aktor drummer Daniel Cardoso wants all the hot chicks to know that he's in it for the nookie, and he's on the make with none other than Trickster G., AKA Ulver's Kristoffer Garm Rygg. And yet, for all the pin-up girls posing with the band's logo in the inner sleeve, Head Control System's music is probably too complex for anyone who goes in for the Queens Of The Stone Age sex-type lurch Cardoso is pimping."
- Decibel Magazine
"A tremendous album, incorporating the rhythmic riffing of Meshuggah, the mechanical sounds of Fear Factory, and the tuned-down chords of Tool."
- Pop Matters
"This is something that should be given a listen by anyone who likes rock with brains, progressive rock that's built around songs not musical wankery. There's a tonal quality to this album that appeals to me in some visceral way I don't fully understand." - Deadtide
"Fuckin' nice." - Aversion Online
ONE TWO THREE NOW WE LIVE AND NOW WE DIE WE COME AND GO ABOVE OR BELOW OR GOD KNOWS WHERE WE BURY OUR CHILDREN AND NURSE OUR DEAD FACE DOWN UNDERGROUND NO COLOUR NO MOVEMENT NO WAY OUT IT IS ALL THE SAME CRIME AND PUNISHMENT SIN AND NATURE PLEASE HEAR ME TEAR ME FROM THE WONDERFUL WORLD IT IS A FUCKING TRAGEDY WHEN IT HURTS YOU BAD IT HURTS ME SO MY LOVE DIES AND I LOVE TO DO IT DON'T YOU LOVE ME WHEN I DO IT MAKE ME DO IT TO YOU ALL WIDE OPEN AND SHUT UP INSIDE CRY YOUR HEART OUT BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF CAUSE YOU ARE A STAR SO SOFT TO TOUCH AND HARD TO TEAR INTO THE SKIN UNDER THE SKIN OPEN YOUR MOUTH MAKE ME THE ANIMAL THAT I AM.
"What can I do to promote Head Control System besides telling all my friends that you kick ass?"
... You can:
A: Name your firstborn after us.
B: Add your favourite HCS track to your profile so that every stalker checking you out will have the coolest background music while he/she's browsing to find your most clearly defined pictures. In order to do that you simply need to click "add" near the track you wish to add.
C: Post bulletins promoting Head Control System so all your friends will be aware of such a groovy band on MySpace. Post our banners in your profile, or again; on bulletins. Spam our banners everywhere so we don't have to do it ourselves.
D:If you're a girl, take sexy/cool pictures with our "Icon" O [as exemplified to the left], or just customize it. Put your fantasy to work. Check our blog "Stalking pretty girls on MySpace" for further instructions. Be obedient. Make our dreams come true.
E: If you're a guy there's not much you can do other than be a real sweet talker and persuade your girlfriend/ sister/ mother/ teacher to do it.
Remember: Exceptional talent does not always win its reward unless favored by exceptional circumstances.
