neuroshock

n e u r o s h o c k : the electro/industrial music project of Canadian award-winning multi-instrumentalist Ben Rüsch.

Blending mechanical precision with emotional depth, Rüsch crafts immersive soundscapes that fuse driving rhythms, gritty synths, and haunting atmospheres—pulling listeners into a dystopian sonic world where machines pulse with feeling.

The debut LP, The Reactance Bias (2023), introduced neuroshock’s signature mix of dark electronics and cinematic tension. The follow-up, Mechanical Empath (2025), pushes the sound further into visceral territory—combining aggressive industrial textures with themes of disconnection, synthetic emotion, and post-human identity. The EP oblivion 1981 (2024) offers a raw, retro-futuristic glimpse into memory, decay, and analog ghosts.

For fans of Front Line Assembly, Gary Numan, and early Nine Inch Nails, neuroshock is essential listening from the bleeding edge of electro-industrial music.


All songs written, engineered, mixed, produced, and performed by Ben Rüsch, at Studio Irrenhaus, Winnipeg, Canada.
