This is the 2nd album for this Swedish project. After the interesting "The venom is going global", they just go on the same dark electronic style while just increasing the complexity of the writing. TPM isn't a traditional dark formation, which just clones one or more leading bands. This is a band with a very own, complex harsh sound that constantly mixes electronics and industrial ideas.

There's a constant power that drives the songs. The arrangements of songs like "Mutation" and "Pre-programmed automatic" are worthy of examination. They really built up some efficient sequences, which have been elaborated by industrial aspects and rough male vocals. In a more classical EBM style, the "Disorder"-cut is a real attention grabber. The industrial side comes more at the forefront with the chainsaw feeling of the "Terror against terror"-track. There's a lot to experience on "Hostile", which only confirms all the good things that have been said about TPM!
