==Biography==
 
Purity Control is the brainchild of [[Otis Haket]]. It blends warm atmospheres with harsh [[Industrial | industrial]] noise, psychedelic effects, and grinding synthesizers. Thematically cyberpunk, it expresses thoughts of aggression, despair and cynicism, with an ever-evolving live performance that leaves you feeling uneasy.
 
 
Purity Control is on hiatus from live performances, and has become a studio-only project for now.
