In an effort to remain fiercely ignorant regarding any recent progress in the field of medicine, Sweden’s General Surgery plan on staying the course by continuing to commit musical malpractice in 2025.

Their fifth decade as an unlicensed group of grindcore-based providers will see album refills, live consultations and the as-yet unnamed unveiling of a brand new, high-potency collection of 15 new songs that are currently in the testing phase of production.

This year will see a refill of the 2006 and 2009 albums Left Hand Pathology and Corpus In Extremis: Analysing Necroticism on France’s Listenable Records, and Brazil’s Shadows Records will refill the group’s Bandcamp-only prescriptions — Lay Down And Be Counted and A Legendary Death — on CD.

Telemedicine services suspended, General Surgery will offer several opportunities for live consultations over the course of 2025, including Grindhoven (NL), Obscene Extreme (CZ) and Maryland Deathfest (USA), the latter two of which haven’t booked the band since 2018 and 2016, respectively, due to previous, now-settled investigations regarding the band’s musical negligence.

Finally, the board has approved the announcement of an as-yet untitled new album consisting of 15 deathgrind doses, which will be available for the first time ever without a prescription. The band issued a collective statement regarding this unprecedented achievement:

“Based on extensive research into our specialty of medical-based grindcore, General Surgery remains steadfast in our decision to ensure all new material sounds virtually identical to all previous material.”
