Switzerland's solo project Hostile Surgery has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of rhythmic noise, drone, dark ambient, industrial and techno and this is a review of his 2025 album "Stray Volts" which was released by Music Anlysis Discussions Records.
Dark soundscapes start off the album while also adding in some programmed beats which also add in elements of techno and industrial. Harsh noises are also utilized at times along with a great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length and also each song sounds very different from each other.
A lot of the album also sticks to an instrumental direction while the songs also add in touched of ambient when they are utilized. Drones are also added into certain sections of the recording along with the songs also adding in some melodies and rhythm's as well as some touches of post-punk done in more of an electronic direction, one track also adds in a brief use of harsh vocals and clear singing.
On this recording Hostile Surgery takes rhythmic noise, drone, dark ambient, industrial and techno to create something very different. The production sounds very dark while the song themes focus on social tension, liminal places, digital overload, occult conflicts, the static of broken communication and converting chaos into abstraction.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Hostile Surgery and if you are a fan of rhythmic noise, drone, dark ambient, industrial and techno, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Dead Angle" "Days Of Wild Iron" "Lost Genesis" and "No Hope No Fear". 8 out of 10.
