DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
    After hammering audiences with his bleak, mesmeric blackness on his brief East Coast mini-tour earlier this summer, the cult of Trepaneringsritualen grows, clawing for more of his infectiously rhythmic, intoxicatingly heavy ritualized death industrial. Here we've got the latest reissue of older material from Swedish industrialist Thomas Martin Ekelund and his Trepaneringsritualen project, an immense new vinyl reissue of one of the more skin-crawling exercises in morbid industrial drift, immersing his rumbling black industrial in visions from Norse mythology. Originally released on cassette a few years ago, Konung Dómaldr Vid Upsala Hängd is one of the more atmospheric, abstract recordings I've heard from the project, made up of large swathes of grimy, rumbling ambience; that ritualistic vibe manifests here as well, but it's melted down into a grim, grey murk that is only occasionally ruptured with hs trademark technoid throb and death-rite drum loops.
    On opener "För Svears Väl", the air is thick with gravemurk and wintry gloom, the relatively short track layering grimy looped organs and clouds of ashen sound over an insistent bass drum, the music slowly echoing through the darkness, the plangent howl of wolves and trains intermingling from across a great distance, his gnarled, throaty vocals like an incantation over the oppressive dirge. "Blodregn" follows, filling out the rest of the side with its own chilling ambience, weaving together muffled drones and more of that frigid, wintry sonic drift, like freezing winds rushing past the exterior walls of an ancient cabin. Deep jet-engine like rumblings resonate through the depths of the mix, surrounded by soft swells of fx-warped sound and creepy creaking noises, ghastly inhuman cries bleeding in from a separate but nearby dimension. It's one of Trepaneringsritualen's more subdued pieces, but it's still as dreadful and doom-laden and tomb-bound as anything else I've heard from him, crafting a mausoleum-like ambience that puts off a similar moldering, mysterious aura as Moëvöt, Funerary Call and Aghast, with spare, thunderous percussive sounds growing across the latter half of the track, deep tectonic movements reverberating beneath that mesmeric black ambience. It flows straight into the long b-side track "Den Fallne Dómaldrs Lik", where those buried, subterranean rhythms become clearer and more pronounced, a deep, slow grinding throb echoing out of the murk; the track slowly expands, becoming heavier and more active, Ekelund's vocals transforming into a deep, slurred chant, pitch-shifted and smeared into a ghastly evil murmur, gradually joined by mournful orchestral sounds, sorrowful strings stretched into a funereal fog across the remainder of the album.
