Trepaneringsritualen

Trepaneringsritualen is the industrial and dark ambient project started in 2008 by Thomas Martin Ekelund in Gothenburg, Sweden. Ekelund presents its live performances as rituals, and the project draws on occult and esoteric imagery both on record and on stage. The name refers to trepanation, the practice of drilling into the skull. Trepaneringsritualen's albums include Ritualer, blot och botgöring (2008), Veil the World (2011), Deathward, to the Womb (2012), Perfection & Permanence (2014) and Kainskult (2017).
