The industrial and dark ambient project by the Swedish artist Thomas Martin Ekelund invites you to an intensive and unique sound journey. Since 2008, Ekelund has been creating dark, ritual soundscapes that are described as “heavy ritual ambient” with an almost psychedelic quality.

Influenced by noise, punk and black metal, he blurs the boundaries of traditional music forms. Trepanering rituals promise an immersive experience that relentlessly challenges the senses.

SUTEKH HEXEN (USA)

from the USA create a dark, intense sound universe that fuses black metal, noise and ambient. The haunting compositions are characterized by chaos and raw energy and offer a disturbing, hypnotic listening experience. Known for their atmospheric density and tonal extremes, Sutekh Hexen promises a concert that pushes the limits of auditory perception – disturbing, magical and unforgettable.

CURSE ALL KINGS (Berlin)

move from almost inaudible ritualistic hums and murmurs, through patient and methodical ritual repetitions, into furious abstracted atmospheres of blackened noise and black metal. What few finger holds the organic drones and compositions offer in the quieter sections of Feral Earth quickly burn away with searing guitar lines stretched, distorted and disfigured almost beyond recognition… Only hints, memories, and echoes of shadows remain. Pummelling doom drums and apocalyptic blast beats suggest movement and coherence, but that mask is quickly removed to show its true face of chaos and hopelessness. When the sonic themes and vocal offerings on these arrangements are more present, they are heartbroken and crushed by the weight of the world… trampled and cast aside. Yet within all of this insurmountable despair, there is a sense of beauty and hope. Like witnessing a hungry fox walk the filthy inner city streets at 4 AM.. It looks up at you, feral and defiant.
