So finally the records arrived! Trepaneringsritualen is now in stock and ready to ship.

Let's celebrate with some really dark images from the recent gig in Gothenburg.

Trepaneringsritualen — Ritualer, Blot och Botgöring LP

And this is the cover of the vinyl version. 

Finally we are getting there

Releasedate 31/12 2012:

TREPANERINGSRITUALEN “Ritualer, blot & botgöring” LP [SK01 / archivmaterial 39]

Ritualer, Blot & Botgöring is the vinyl re-release of Trepaneringsritualen’s first tape, originally issued on Harsh Head Rituals in 2008 in a tiny edition of 75 copies. All head-experiments contained herein work on quite simple and primitive levels in the good, old-fashioned industrial way, with less focus on layering and vocals. Suggestive hell-drones and slow grinding dungeon electronics with a concrete edge - toward the inevitable, lifeless end.

Collaboration release between the Swedish Strömkarlen and the German Verlautbarung labels. Edition of 250 copies in printed black and white sleeves.

Image is the original tape cover. 

In 2006 I was invited to be part of an upcoming compilation that was to be released by Vemod. The compilation never happened and the track got buried at the office. Listening to it today I see it as my response to flurry of harsh noise wall releases around the time. At the time the harshness of The Rita, The Cherry Point, Treriksröset sounded fresh and I wanted to have go at it. Anyway I always liked The Eyes of Mortification so I thought I put it up anyway. 

Listen to it HERE. 

Right, now you can hear and/or buy both VEHM Time of violence and Pestdemon Vexations on our bandcamppage. http://stromkarlen.bandcamp.com/
