Perfection & Permanence [LP Green Vinyl]

Trepaneringsritualen - Perfection & Permanence [LP Green Vinyl]

Out of print for nearly a decade, Cold Spring presents a new, limited vinyl edition of T × R × P's most-revered album, originally released 2014. Trepaneringsritualen explores themes of religion, magic and the hidden realms of consciousness, taking its musical cues from the old school of ritual ambient and death industrial. Rhythmic and seething at times, and oozing forward with a creeping sense of desolation at others, Trepaneringsritualen conjures forth bleak but mesmerizing visions of the end-times. Perfection & Permanence: a hymn to Isis; a further exploration of the duality of the holy harlot, the black skinned Magdalen, mother and concert of the Christ; Yeshua Ben Yosef, son of MAN; the shameful dead, those who sold their brothers, condemned to forever roam the earth; to transgress the abyss, to mortify flesh, towards cosmic renovation. It is lonely, it is awful; on the verge of physical death, but still unable to understand; absolute perfection may be attained through WILL. A conversation with angels, in archaic tongues; Eiríkr inn Sigrsæli sold his blood and kin to desert rats for corporeal power. Ceaseless, blood-churning, terrible; an incoherent accusation by the mirror image, he whose blood was shed to atone another man's sins. Without bloodshed there can be no salvation. A1.
