From Göteborg, Sweden comes the latest album by Trepaneringsritualen, The Totality of Death.
Influenced by Zero Kama, Current 93, Korpses Katatonik, Brighter Death Now, Anenzephalia, and Psychic TV, Trepaneringsritualen explore themes of religion, magick and the occult realms of consciousness, taking its musical cues from the old school of ritual ambient & death industrial. Rhythmic and seething at times, and oozing forward with a creeping sense of desolation, Trepaneringsritualen conjures forth bleak but mesmerizing visions of the end-times.
Trepaneringsritualen, also known as T × R × P, is the work of Thomas Martin Ekelund who has been active since 2008, with releases on labels including Cold Spring, Pesanta Urfolk, Malignant, Silken Tofu, Hanson, iDEAL, Release The Bats and Black, and Horizons.
T × R × P have performed countless live rituals across the world, including festival such as Stella Natura, Wave Gothic Treffen, and opening slots for a broad spectrum of artists including Old Man Gloom, Circle, Bölzer, and many more.
