After a long period of quiet, Child Of Night resurface with Controlled Burn, their first new music since 2023.
Sonically, Controlled Burn continues the project’s dark path, driven by a rigid electronic pulse that moves with the cold efficiency of classic EBM. The song feels like it has been built for dark rooms and late hours, yet it never loses its underlying sense of menace.
The song tackles the conflict between wanting connection and seeking a clean break. That paradox provides a peculiar solace, the comfort of knowing that both submission and disappearance are still options, even while the world around us deteriorates.
Child Of Night articulate this idea directly, stating: “Controlled Burn is an examination of what it's like to love in the modern world, under the shadow of total imperial collapse.”
