Some nights ask for volume. Others ask for atmosphere. On Wednesday, October 21, you get both. Valerinne return with their slow-burning instrumental intensity, while Ordinul Negru make their first appearance at Control with a ritualistic take on atmospheric black metal. VALERINNE Bucharest based band Valerinne came together in early 2012, when Alexandru Das (guitar/soundscapes), Liviu Stoicescu (bass) and Mircea Smarandache (drums), joined efforts in their desire to play instrumental, atmospheric, haunting, loud and emotional music. They were joined by Ciprian Florea in 2024 on guitar/synth. Valerinne's music takes an organic approach to the post-rock genre. The compositions are ample and dramatic, almost soundtrack-like. The sound spectrum swings from dreamy and fragile to gloomy walls of noise and brutal droning sound intensity, swinging from ambiental to doom and blackgaze. The band released its debut album, Kunstformen der Natur, in late 2012. Since then they have embarked on a European tour together with Bucharest ambient/drone band Environments, have shared the stage with Amenra, Rosetta, Environments, Atlantis, Maybeshewill, Tides from Nebula, Our Ceasing Voice, Stephen O
